Rumination

As I fight through to the Geth Colossus, Geth explode and make their weird dial-up modem roars.

Dad: Those sound like alien farts.

Me: They’re robots.

Dad: Robot farts then.

Me: …Can robots fart?

Dad: Well sure, if they have methane to discharge.

Me: So like car exhaust is the fart of a car.

Dad: Is car exhaust methane?

Me: Well I guess not, it’s carbon monoxide.

Dad: Yeah, it’s the same thing we exhale. We don’t call exhaling farting.

Me: No, we exhale carbon dioxide.

Dad: Oh.

Me: I think it’s pretty humano-centric of you to insist that farts have to be primarily methane-based.

Dad: If it’s not methane it’s not a fart. End of story.
