Exactly how powerful is an atomic bomb?

1. Maybe if the farter was Conan

but for any normal human...it's not even close.

2. How much methane did they calculate for this?

And which bomb? The Hiroshima A Bomb or a modern H Bomb?

5. Donno, but here's some facts (or at least well supported opinions) I found and my own math

Methane is not the only energy contained in a fart, so you can't go just by methane. An average fart has 147.29 Joules of total energy. The Little Boy atomic bomb released 6.3×10^13 Joules of energy. Unless my math is off, it would take 427,727,612,194 farts to equal that much energy. The average fart duration is 1.2 seconds. That gives us 513,273,134,633 fart seconds, 8,554,552,244 fart minutes, 142,575,871 fart hours, 5,940,661 fart days, and 16,276 fart years.

Another way to look at it is every person on the planet would have to contribute 53 farts to equal the amount of energy in the Little Boy atomic bomb.

3. Fortunately college only lasts for four years - I trust you're including beer farts.

4. I've ripped some that would annihilate half a city block, but never a whole city!

Hence I question the mathematics of the OP ...
