Is this Lemmy’s “the cylinder must remain unharmed”?
I remember this post bro!! Good times
literal SHITpost
simple, take imodium.
Please stop asking because I am not telling anyone the reason.
Is it spiders? I bet it’s toilet spiders.
He’s a soldier going to the field for training. I’d bet my next check on it.
With air conditioned tents? Not really a field situation.
I’ve done this before. I was on a beach in Mexico back in the day for 3 days. Slept on the beach in a hammock. The nearest bathroom was about 30 minutes because it was a secluded beach. There was an outhouse you could shit in and I kid you not it looked like the poop scene from slumdog millionaire. I decided I would not shit till I left.
Honestly I ate normal food and it was fine so I think crippling anxiety is enough to make this possible.
You realize you could have shit in the sea, right?
I was there, Gandalf, 3 years ago. When the bowels of man failed.
Lembas bread, one bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man while allowing him to go through multiple security checkpoints without pooping.
I feel like this person needs a portable bidet more than food advice.
Sounds like a possibility to me. Maybe they have hemorrhoids and using TP for three days will tear that brown starfish to shreds. Not that I would know anything aboot that.

Oh, I think this is a post of a home-shitter ( someone who only shits at home, not at someone else’s home, not in public toilets and definitively not in nature ) who tries to go on a multi-day travel. Rather a than getting over his mental block, he tries to prep his body to not shit for 3 days.
Poor soul.
I used to be a home shitter. Then I took a job doing over the road trucking. Now I don’t care. As long as it looks like I won’t catch anything putting cheeks to seat I’ll go for it.
Hell, sometimes I’ll stop and pinch one off on my way home just so I won’t stink out my own bathroom. Giant gaps in the stall where people can look? Fine, enjoy the show. I would and have made eye contact.
Free your poops!
3 days seems fairly doable. I know after my stomach has been upset and I’ve taken Immodium or an equivalent it can be several days before the seal breaks again
Oh yes. You can take a safe amount of Imodium and not wind up going for 3 days. I’m very sensitive to it, so without an upset stomach, 4mg might clog me for 3-4.
when I was a child and was sent to summer camp, I refused to use the showers because they were communal
I probably would have tried to not use toilets too for similar reasons, but I had already had to learn to use public toilets because of public school
Public toilets and communal showers are kind of different tho
have had IBS my whole life. hearing people say this is like hearing people say they only breathe at home. they just. hold their breath. until they get back. Shit WILL exit my body when I’m away from home and I generally prefer it to be in a toilet.
i’m at the complete opposite end of the brown spectrum. i poop on average once a week, at most twice a week, thrice if i ate something bad. i have a fecalysis scheduled for today and so far it’s been 3 hours of me unsuccesfully forcing my bowels to move lol
A very cold apple juice + a very strong espresso will turn you into a propelled vehicle in about 30minutes. Hope you read this early enough.
I skip the juice, but coffee plus a cigarette is pretty much laxative in my experience lol
A Poop one a week is totaly fine but if you’re unsuccessfully trying for a bowel movement/poop for 3 hours something’s not right. A more fiber richt diet might help. Also drinking enough water helps. Mabe get something like a squatty-potty or channel your inner rat king.
Ehm… i would respectfully disagree that a poop once a week is fine.
That would be a reason to see a doctor if this persists for any length of time…
I actually read up on this a while ago and apparently anything from shitting 3x a day to 3x a week is considered normal.
Recent study says good = around 4 to 21 times a week. https://www.sciencealert.com/your-poop-schedule-says-a-lot-about-your-overall-health-study-reveals
Twice a week is considered constipation.
So I did a little more reading you’re and you are right. Most sources that I found say 3x/day - 3x/Week is the usual range. More important is the Bistrol stool scale, I mean if you are having a poop once every 4-5 days but the consistency is a perfect 3-4 I dont see any harm in that. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_stool_scale)

Have you tried magnesium? You can get it in a lot of different foods. Just look up what foods have it. You can also take magnesium supplements. I used to be like you, and once I started taking magnesium it got me to go regularly like everybody else.
Make sure it’s the “citrate” variety. That’s the one that mostly helps move things along. There are other types also available as supplements that have different effects that probably won’t benefit someone looking for digestive help.
I used to be a home shitter, i used to even be a home pisser at school age, but then i started drinking a healthy amount of water.
I am so so glad i’ve gotten over the mental block.
At the school I went to if you shat at school someone would bang on the cubicle door and laugh at you. Caused some definite problems for me
Or someone engaging in three days of hardcore anal.
uh then thats the wrong plan for sure, for that its more about eating the right things at the right times, if done right that can make like 8h of each day usable without going hungry
Whoah, share that wisdom with the rest of us. I’d just like more regularity in my life. (and don’t tell me to eat more fiber. I eat enough fiber. Beans are cheap, and cheap is important right now.)
I feel thats very subjective to every person due to different digestion speeds, but its all about knowing how your body will react do different food, drinks (mostly coffee) and physical activity. Eating portions that will basically go out in one go, while the next one is far enough up and sold enough to give you time. Normal pasta with cheese gets me good results. Like if you had your last meal around 18:00 last day, get a full night of sleep, have some coffee, do a little sport, get it all out at lets say at 10:00, then have the next meal of pasta…you got yourself a 8h time slot for fun.
I am not going on a hiking trip or mailing myself anywhere
Ah, damn. That was my bet.
I was thinking of a music festival.
Are fursuits a pain in the ass to get out of or something?
Some of them have ass flaps.
Which are exclusively for the convenience of using a restroom when necessary and absolutely no other reason. None.
(most) Fursuits are way too expensive to muck up with biological matters. I think the fursuiters I know would smile, close their eyes, and gently pat you for your joke, only to grow aghast as they realize the reality of the suggestion of something that could fuck with their gigantic investment.
Unless you consider murrsuits a subset of fursuits. Those will have… strategically placed holes.
yeah but then there won’t be appropriate structural support for a dragon with a fat ass to have a tail you can swing around like a feather boa for 27 years they been doing it now. [edit: swear to your god 27 years that fursuit survived]
i had to climb out through the neck because i was a dipshit and made it that way
i’m starting to realize why the other high school kids assumed things i just like making art okay
is that for easier outsies or insies ?
yes
I was there man.
Feels like it was only yesterday
I was there, Bootleg. I was there 3
thousandyears ago. I was there the day the patience of Lemmy failed. I mean, come on mizu6079, just tell us why you need to avoid pooping for that long!But yeah, that happened right after I started using Lemmy. I’d been commenting for less than a week, and my first post was a “Chewy, we’re home” meme about how all the memes on the topic made me feel as a new user. That account’s long dead now, but apparently lemmy.world still has my post https://lemmy.world/post/560966. Federation is neat.
So was I.
Although my account back then was on a now dead instance. 😔I think I was on kbin.social
I was on feddit.de (RIF).
Are the bins even with us anymore? Don’t think i have seen them in a while.
The poster you’re replying to is on a bin, lol
Yeah, Fedia.io and kbin.earth are probably the two biggest.
lmao
I was only shown the name, no instance. But good to know those are still around.
the end of feddit.de is surely a cautionary tale by now.
Do tell. Bitte.
There was once a lone server admin who ran the show and but everything was good.
Then people came, we don’t tell from where, and the users and amount of posts increases, the lone server admin no longer could handle all of that themself and asked some mods to co-admin the instance. Everything was good again
Then the server admin took a well deserved vacation, to an unknown location. But the co admins could handle the administrative stuff. Everything seemed good.
Then bugs were detected. Updates were needed. Harddisks ran full. The dreaded /pictrs issue arose and caused PTSD. Required keys and permissions were not granted to the co admins. But hope remain that the server admin returns from their vacation…
they never returned…
the migration to a new instance was costly,
the fate of that server admin? shrouded in mysteries.
disclaimer I suck at story telling in a non native language.
I remember it but I don’t remember the ending
OP commented cheerfully on all the memes about him, but still refused to elaborate. Then he disappeared for the week, as expected. I can’t remember for sure, but I thought I recalled him returning briefly asking for advice on dealing with severe constipation, getting annoyed that everyone still only wanted to talk about how his week went and what the hell this was all about, and then he disappeared for good. I assume he’s likely still around under a new identity and he just sighs and clicks away every time this is brought up again.
Oh. I could’ve sworn there was an ending, maybe I’m remembering the constipation part
Maybe? Can’t go back and look because the account was deleted. I could have easily missed or even forgotten any additional details. Heck, I recently had to be reminded it was 3 days and not a whole week, so don’t put to much trust in my memory.
Its all good man, no worries. I’m probably misremembering
IIRC OP disappeared, without an update. The most sane guess I read was that they were going to the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, they live in tents during that
I think it was a joke about him going on that Titanic sub that imploded.
But why couldn’t he poop during that?
Some psychological reasons? There are people who can only poop at home.
Ah true I didn’t think of that
I don’t think there was one.
Bummer
i remember. I think that was one of my first days. I had helpfully unhelpful advice, like DONT DO IT MAN or EAT CORN if i know me
Is it really a shitpost if it’s about not shitting? Wouldn’t it just be a post?
Its a shitty shit-post. No. That wouldn’t work, because its not a post on the quality of the shit post. A shit-shit post? A shit2 post?
