Don't EVER listen to any source that tells you that you can "quick soak" your beans.

You can't... it's not a thing.

They should be soaked overnight at the least, and really I recommend 24 hours.

I use a splash of apple cider vinegar, and change the water at least twice during the soaking process.

The difference between soaked beans and unsoaked/undersoaked beans is like the difference between raw chicken, and cooked chicken... one is good for you, and the other one is bad.

The soaking process is digestion #1, the cooking process is digestion #2, and the final product is much better for digestive health.

Do you eat lots of peanuts, too?
Agh man I... kinda hate peanuts.

I will have peanut butter sometimes, I like to make crunchy chocolate candies out of PB and semisweet chips (with various granola or cereal) sometimes...

Other than that man, I can't stand 'em.
Do soaked beans give you wet farts?
No, a lot of the reason they say to soak your beans is to mitigate the gas issue, but this is a very superficial way of barely addressing the fairly serious health concerns that surround the consumption of unsoaked/improperly prepared beans.
