Do you think because bacteria's are what makes farts smells bad and then we say "follow your instinks"?

I tried to look it up but the internet doesn’t no

Hears my theory:

  • people say “listen to your guts”

  • guts has bacteria’s and are bacteria’s makes us happy or sad (this is science)

  • guts are stinky because of the bacteria’s

  • people say “follow your instinks”

So is that this is if why we say to follow your instinks because their are stinks inside are guts that tells us what to do?

What do you think?

Because someone has to. For the word “instinct,” from Latin instinctus “instigation, impulse, inspiration,” noun use of past participle of instinguere.

  • in - “into, in, on, upon”
  • stinguere - “prick, goad,” from PIE *steig- “to prick, stick, pierce”

So, in the end, the “stinct” has more to do with the word stick than it does stink.

Here’s a reference link. https://www.etymonline.com/word/instinct

Except after we fart the instinks officially become outstinks. And I’m not following my outstinks.

So by that logic to follow your instinks you would have to fist yourself right?

Not bacteria, just bowel gases.

–Edit–

Although the gases are produced by bacteria, so there is that.
