They missed a good chance to call it Fecal Acoustic Reproduction Testing, or FART.

I swear I just saw a thread about car with the plate saying mrshart!

I don't wanna learn I'm gonna die in six months from SHART.

It's also truer to the dreadful speculation of the result of a cancer screening. It's either going to be okay or ruin your day.

I fixed it. Auto correct and commenting in the car.

Maybe that inspired the bloodhound gang to do the track "Diarrhea runs in the family"

I swear half of the work on technology like this is just making the name into a good acronym.
Ludwigofthepotatoppl t1_ja61qy3 wrote
That acronym already exists, First Amendment Repression Tort took first place in the naming contest.
But instead they use SLAPP, which took runner-up.
sadrice t1_ja61sjy wrote
Or making a good acronym into a technology.
“So, for our next project, I want to make SHART.”
“What does it do?”
“Uh, something with weird poop noises. Maybe cancer? Cancer research always gets funding…”
Six months later
“Holy shit! It worked!”

jokes aside, the headline on this post vastly overstates the current state of the research.

Fun fact: When it’s purposely engineered to fit an existing word, it’s called a bacronym.
Qurdlo t1_ja6l2og wrote
I hope they post some examples I wanna diagnose myself but my insurance doesn't cover SHART.

You’re usually fine trusting FART until 40 or so.

I feel like they tried too hard with that acronym. It doesn’t really accurately describe the procedure (i.e., why is “synthetic” and “reproduction” in it?)

They're poop scientists - trying too hard is part of the discipline.
