BTW, If one was already profoundly hypothermic, would it be unwise to fart?

    The edge cases, so mixing very polar with very nonpolar gases has deviations in enthalpy. Very tiny, but they exist.

    Mixing inert species like nitrogen, CH4 or oxygen (anything human, fart or air related) does not result in a change in enthalpy. All it does is increase entropy. They are essentially ideal gases under these conditions, nothing happens.

    Which Wikipedia article? Please name them so they can be corrected.

    Heat does not get absorbed. Semantics or not, these words have well defined meanings.
