Who likes to poop?

[TheDude]

Well, I was pooping today, and I realized "Damn. Pooping rocks."

This is no attempt at potty humor. I am just wondering how many of you view pooping as this taboo, nasty thing, and how many of you view it reasonably. lol......... No attempt at being unbiased.

[WaLLy]

[TheDude]

[PaigeBoo]

If you don't like to poop you have a problem. Stomach hurting, feel like doodoo, got take a shit and you'll feel 100x better :smug:

 

[WaLLy]

Matter of fact, I just took a 15 minutes ago

 

[Joe Momma]

Hate it, due to my buttpainz

 

[DamageINC]

Anytime something leaves your body it almost always feels good at the time or makes you feel better afterwards. Bleeding out an exception.

 

[TheDude]

Child birth.......
Kidney stones........
Coughing bacteria infested mucus out of your lungs......


BUT

Shitting is still awesome.

 

[DamageINC]

I forgot about those exceptions. Add them to the list. BUT, after you pass your stone you still feel better. And, after your birth, you feel much better. So i was still right.

 

[Ethan]

God made us poop and fart as part of His humor.

 

[AVC]

I could do without it.
I'm a busy man. I ain't got time to poop!

Liking pooping really depends on the type of poop. I prefer Teflon.

The Poo List:

GHOST POO : You know you've pooed. There is poo on the toilet paper but none in the toilet.

TEFLON COATED POO : Comes out so slick, clean and easy that you don't even feel it. No trace of poo on the toilet paper, you have to look in the toilet to be sure you did it.

GOOEY POO : This has the consistency of hot tar. You wipe 12 time and you still don't come clean. You end up putting toilet paper in your underpants so you don't stain them. This poo leaves permanent skid marks in the toilet.

SECOND THOUGHT POO : You're all done wiping and about to stand up when you realise it, you've got some more.

POP A VEIN VEIN IN YOUR FOREHEAD POO : This is the kind of poo that killed Elvis. It doesn't want to come out until you're all sweaty, trembling, and purple from straining so hard.

WEIGHT WATCHERS POO : You poo so much that you lose several kilograms.

RIGHT NOW POO : You better be within 30 seconds of a toilet. You burn rubber getting there. Usually, it has its head out before you get your pants down.

KING KONG POO : This one is so big that you know it won't go down the toilet unless you break it into smaller chunks. A wire coat hanger works well. This kind of poo usually happens at someone elses house.

CORK POO : ( Also known as a floater.) Even after the third flush, it's still floating in the bowel. My God! How do I get rid of it??

WET CHEEKS POO : This poo hits the water sideways and makes a big splash that gets you all wet.

WISH POO : You sit there all cramped up for a few minutes, but no poo.

CEMENT BLOCK POO : You wish that you'd gotten a spinal block before you pooed.

SNAKE POO : This poo is fairly soft, about as thick as your thumb, and at least three feet long.

MEXICAN FOOD POO : ( Also called the screamer.) You know it's okay to eat again when your bum stops burning.

BEER DRUNK AND MEAT PIE POO : This happens the day after the night before. Normally your poos don't smell too bad, but this one is BAD!! Usually this happens at someone else's house, and there is someone standing outside the door waiting to use the bathroom.

 

[BriAn79]

@ Andy that was a good one. I don't mind it except for the right now poo and the mexican food poo!
You do feel refreshed afterwards though.

 

[TheDude]

LOL @ wish poo.

AVC, you made this thread AWESOME.

 

[UnTamed]

lol Do you guys just love the sound where the poop drops into the toilet "dionk"

 

[PaigeBoo]

That was hilarious AVC. You made the thread what's it's supposed to be. I think the worst one is the mexican food Poo personally, because even after you poo, you're bum still burns :frown:

 

[WaLLy]

 

[Cent0]

Guys I'm pooping right now

 

[CiTyCHiLD]

Child birth.......
Kidney stones........
Coughing bacteria infested mucus out of your lungs......


BUT

Shitting is still awesome.

Well my bathroom breaks feel like I'm giving birth so I hate it.

What is poop made of?

[SIZE=-1] About 3/4 of youraverage turd is made of water. Of course, this value is highly variable- the water content of diarrhea is much higher, and the amount of waterin poop that has been retained (voluntarily or otherwise) is lower. Wateris absorbed out of fecal material as it passes through the intestine, sothe longer a turd resides inside before emerging, the drier it will be.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Of the remainingportion of the turd, about 1/3 is composed of dead bacteria. These microcorpsescome from the intestinal garden of microorganisms that assist us in thedigestion of our food. Another 1/3 of the turd mass is made of stuff thatwe find indigestible, like cellulose, for instance. This indigestible materialis called "fiber," and is useful in getting the turd to move along throughthe intestine, perhaps because it provides traction. The remaining portionof the turd is a mixture of fats such as cholesterol, inorganic salts likephosphates, live bacteria, dead cells and mucus from the lining of theintestine, and protein.
[/SIZE]
Why does poop stink?
[SIZE=-1]Poop stinks as aresult of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulfur-richorganic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganicgas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odor.
[/SIZE]
Why is poop brown?
The color comesmainly from bilirubin, a pigment that arises from the breakdown of redblood cells in the liver and bone marrow. The actual metabolic pathwayof bilirubin and its byproducts in the body is very complicated, so wewill simply say that a lot of it ends up in the intestine, where it isfurther modified by bacterial action. But the color itself comes from iron.Iron in hemoglobin in red blood cells gives blood its red color, and ironin the waste product bilirubin gives rise to its brown color.

Hi,
A friend of mine just sent me the link to your website for fun. I really enjoyed the ‘Survival Guide for Taking a Dump at Work'. However, I believe that there is an error among your explanation for the color of feces. The brown color is a result of broken down red blood cells, but I don't think that it's a result of iron. Most of the iron that is released from the breakdown of heme is reabsorbed by cells in the bone marrow for incorporation into new red blood cells. That's why we don't have a large daily requirement for iron in our diets. Anyhow, what remains of the hemoglobin is then called biliverdin, which is converted into bilirubin and is excreted. This compound can build up in some people and cause jaundice. The colors of these molecules are due to their complex structures, which contain rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms. Intestinal bacteria further modify bilirubin to produce urobilinogen and stercobilinogen. If I remember correctly, the red color of blood is also due to the porphyrin ring of heme and not iron.

So, you're absolutely correct to say that it's a complicated explanation and it has to do with the breakdown of red blood cells, but I don't think that iron has anything to do with the brown color of poop or the red color of blood.

What other colors of poop are possible?
[SIZE=-1] Poop is mostly shadesof brown or yellow, but other colors can arise under certain circumstances.For example, someone with a bleeding ulcer might have tarry black poopfrom the presence of partially digested blood. Bleeding in the intestine,from an anal fissure or split, for example, can stain the poop red. Someillnesses in babies gives them green or even blue-green poop. But anothersource of blue poop in children is more innocent: it can come from eatinga concentrated source of blue food coloring such as ice cream. Intensered food coloring can produce bright red poop. Sometimes brightly coloredfoods pass through the gut almost unchanged, and the turd may be speckledwith bright red fragments such as pimentos, or bright yellow kernels ofcorn.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] One can experiencewhite poop after consuming a barium milkshake for the purposes of gettingan x-ray of the upper gastrointestinal tract.[/SIZE]

What is the cause of yellow poop?
[SIZE=-1] According to MichaelF., one cause of this is Gilbert's Syndrome. "I have a benign conditionknown as Gilbert's Syndrome. It affects quite a few people, males mostly,in their teens+. It is a deficiency in the liver where red blood cellsare broken down. I was informed when this was diagnosed that the brokendown blood cells is what gives poop a lot of its color. People with Gilbert'sSyndrome don't process as many blood cells - or not as fast - and theirpoop tends to be pale brown or yellow from the lower quantity of discardedred blood cell matter. This is especially true if there is less matterin your intestines (i.e., on a diet - as I have noticed) to remove theexcess blood cells. Very frightening until you determine what is causingit. Gilbert's is a totally benign thing that doesn't harm anyone, althoughwhen a person is sick they can turn yellowish as if jaundiced, but it isnot jaundice."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Another causeof yellow poop is a giardia infection. Giardia are tiny Protozoan parasitesthat can invade the intestines and result in severe yellow diarrhea. Itis a dangerous and contagious affliction that doctors are obligated toreport to the Center for Disease Control.[/SIZE]

What is the cause of green poop?
[SIZE=-1](Question submittedby ap, CrAzYMiC98 and several others)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] I have consultedwith a doctor, a physiologist and a microbiologist on this question, andthe following summarizes their answers:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Healthy peoplecan have green poop if they eat a diet rich in leafy green vegetables,or if they consume large quantities of food coloring (in ice cream, cakefrosting etc.).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Green poop canalso be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, forexample. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron maystain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the greencolor may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion isthrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine,the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflictedwith diarrhea.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] Green poop insick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed,or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).
[/SIZE]
Why is bird poop white?
[SIZE=-1] (Question submittedby Sarah Beth)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] Unlike mammals,birds don't urinate. Their kidneys extract nitrogenous wastes from thebloodstream, but instead of excreting it as urea dissolved in urine aswe do, they excrete it in the form of uric acid. Uric acid has a very lowsolubility in water, so it emerges as a white paste. This material, aswell as the output of the intestines, emerges from the bird's cloaca. Thecloaca is a multi-purpose hole for birds: their wastes come out of it,they have sex by putting their cloacas together, and females lay eggs outof it.
[/SIZE]
Why do dogs (and other animals) eat poop?
[SIZE=-1] Many animals eatpoop on a regular basis. These include rabbits, rodents, gorillas, manyinsects such as dung beetles and flies, and yes, dogs. (Keep that in mindthe next time a dog wants to lick you!) Herbivores such as rabbits androdents eat their own poop because their diet of plants is hard to digestefficiently, and they have to make two passes at it to get everything outof the meal. This is equivalent to a cow chewing its cud, only cows areable to re-eat their food without having to poop it out first. Anotherreason why animals eat poop is that poop contains vitamins produced bytheir intestinal bacteria. The animal is unable to absorb the vitaminsthrough the intestinal wall, but can get at them by eating the poop. Anotherreason that animals such as dogs and flies eat poop is that poop containsa certain amount of protein. Dogs are particularly fond of cat poop becausecat poop is high in protein. I had a friend with a dog and a cat, and henever had to clean the kitty litter. The dog took care of it.[/SIZE]
Are there people who eat poop?

[SIZE=-1] Yes, we all have,at one point or another. One of the main ways that diseases and parasitesspread is through the consumption of food and water contaminated with feces.This happens because people don't wash their hands carefully after poopingor changing a diaper or scratching their butt. It can also happen throughcareless disposal of diapers. Our microbiologist here on Guam says thatone dirty diaper in Tumon Bay can send the bacteria count through the ceiling.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] But of course,what you want to know is, are there people who eat poop on purpose?Again, the answer is yes. Some autistic children practice coprophagy, theingestion of feces. Coprophagy is also listed as an unusual sexual practicein the encyclopedia of that name.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] I have knownonly one person who ate poop on purpose, and she only did it once, whenshe was about four years old. She says she was curious about what it tastedlike. When asked what poop does taste like, she replies, "About like you'dexpect."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] By the way,for all of you who are wondering, the author of this page does NOT eatpoop.[/SIZE]
Can you get sick from eating poop?

[SIZE=-1](Question submittedby Wendell)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] Yes, you candefinitely get sick from eating poop, even in minute quantities! Althoughurine emerges sterile from the body (unless the person has an infection),poop emerges loaded with bacteria and sometimes other life forms. Manydiseases, including food poisoning, cholera and typhus, are spread by fecalcontamination. Many parasites, such as the notorious tapeworm, can be spreadthrough deliberate or accidental ingestion of poop.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] There are someparasites, such as pinworms, who depend on people eating their own poopto keep the population up. Pinworms are small nematodes that live in thecolon. The females emerge from the anus at night to lay their eggs. Theiractivity makes the anal area itch. The person scratches the itch (oftendoing so in his sleep), procuring a small amount of fecal matter and eggsunder his fingernails, and then puts his fingers in his mouth. Once theeggs are consumed, the person is infected with a new generation of pinworms.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] I have read that almosteveryone has pinworms. Luckily, pinworms don't do much harm. You only noticethem if you have a lot of pinworms! If you want to find out if you do indeedhave them, get someone to gently touch around your anal area with Scotchtape while you are sleeping. The worms will stick to the tape and you'llbe able to see them.
[/SIZE]
Do most people wipe their left-over poop standingup or while sitting on the pot, and are there gender differences?
[SIZE=-1](Question submittedby ICEMAN)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] This isn't reallyscientific, but I did a quick survey, and everyone asked (including bothmales and females) said that they wipe sitting down. There was even a reasonprovided: that sitting down spreads the cheeks apart and makes access easier.This survey was done on Guam, and Guam is technically part of the UnitedStates, and most people here probably use American toilet habits. However,if you travel a bit, you will discover that people deal with left-overpoop in different ways in other parts of the world.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] In Europe, forexample, that water fountain in the bathroom isn't for drinking. It's abidet for hosing off after using the toilet.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] In SoutheastAsia, you don't sit on the toilet at all. The toilet is a low, porcelain-linedtrench, and the user squats over it. Next to the toilet is a bin of water.You scoop water out of the bin with your left hand and use that to cleanseyourself. You aren't supposed to use your left hand for any other purpose.

How come when you eat corn, no matter how much youchew it, you poop it out in whole kernals?

[SIZE=-1] (Question submittedby Timzx)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] Corn poop isone of the greatest mysteries in life. I grew up pondering the same question.This is what I think is happening:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] When we chewcorn, the outer coating slips off the inner kernal. This outer yellow coatingis almost entirely cellulose, and is indigestible. It passes through thegut untouched, and emerges looking like a whole kernal, although it ismostly just the outer skin. The inside of the kernal is starchy and digestible,and that is the part that we succeed in chewing up.
[/SIZE]
Is there any way to prevent corn from getting in your poop?
[SIZE=-1](Question submittedby Steve)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] I know of only one way - don't eat corn![/SIZE]

How does poop stay together, like in links?
[SIZE=-1] (Question submittedby Blink182 Girl)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] In humans, softpoop is really one long, mostly continuous sausage before it comes out.It gets its "link" look because we tend to pinch off lengths of it withthe anal sphincter as the poop emerges. If a person pinches hard enough,the poop separates into several turd units. If the person doesn't pinchthat hard, the turds may stay connected.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1] If you can remainsufficiently relaxed, you can produce an awesomely long poop that willcoil up inside the toilet.[/SIZE]

Why does some poop float?
[SIZE=-1] (Question submittedby High Rise)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] Floaters areturds that have an unusually high gas content. Sometimes the gases producedby bacteria in our gut don't have a chance to collect into a large fartbubble, but remain dispersed in the feces. The poop then comes out foamy,and has a lower density than water.[/SIZE]

What causes the burning sensation sometimes associatedwith poop?
[SIZE=-1] (Question submittedby torrance crump)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1] This is generallycaused by a recent meal of hot peppers or related spices. The oils associatedwith these foods remain intact and active all the way through one's gastrointestinalsystem. These oils can also generate hot farts.[/SIZE]
