My friend poops once a week. He claims he told his doctor and they said it's "on the edge of normal." It freaks me out though. I'd feel so bloated all the time.

Maybe that no poop challenge guy has tips for next time.

That's because it isn't. As was just explained, the shape is pretty much set before the "extrusion die" sphincter comes into play.

good, it beats the incompetent assholes that just tell you not to do things when you ask them how to do them just because they are harmful.

"AI," what should I do about being constipated?

Painfully stretch your rectum to gaping in order to accommodate your constipation.

Thank god for that.

Imagine if LLM were made in Oxford in the 1950's.

It be trained on the fucking Iliad and Shakespeare.

For those of us that pooped before smart phones, there was a book series called Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. I could totally see them have a section dedicated to this.

"The Art of Defecation - How to turn your anatomy into a brown (f)art factory"

It could have an entire chapter just on fiber maxing:

Another could be on shit polishing with the mythbusters method.

yeah I sort of miss that .. getting shittymorphed too was always a joy

I'll always remember the kid who broke both his arms and his helpful mom.

The Kevin history was wild

The poop knife is irrelevant until and unless one plans to flush, which this question did not ask.

Also, why do you assume the nurse is a lady?

My mom had to get a colostomy last year after her bowel ruptured, and she spent a month in ICU recovering from sepsis. The nurse there, when she was finally awake, tried explaining everything to her, but she had some pretty severe ICU delirium, and just couldn't comprehend everything she was saying, especially when she was using medical terms.

Eventually, the nurse said, "girl, basically, you don't need your bootyhole no more. That's now just for your husband and lonely weekends"

At which point she fully understood, and I died inside.

Me too, once held too long when i was busy and kept hitting the 'snooze button' on going all day long, end of the day i dropped something that resembled a hand grenade, with the little square-ish ridges and everything. The pain, the relief, the lasting butthole tenderness afterwards.
