Cups? Do they like, pour them?

Technically, all gases take up space. That's why when breathe into a balloon, you inflate it. I suppose that suggests that you could fart into a balloon and also inflate it... if you could get the seal tight enough.

Redditor, I will submit this theory to a benchmark. Update in six hours. If I don't come back, it's because I'm dead of asphyxia in the line of duty. Tell my waifu pillow that I love her and my neighbour's dog that he's been adopted.

Hmmm, interesting theory. I haven't branched out to balloons, but I did once fart in an old mayonnaise jar and put the lid on tight to see if it would keep the stink in.

I mean, I'll try!

But gases also famously expand to fill all available space, and in weightlessness aren't held down by gravity, so an open-top "cup" doesn't really work very intuitively as a measuring device for gas. Now a medium-sized balloon, or 200ml, I'd understand
