i unironically shit like once a week, maybe two times a week max. so i don't understand what the fuss is all about
Lemmy is discovering that IBS exists
Despite what the other comments say, this can be perfectly acceptable if this is has always been usual for you.
Yep, normal range is 3x a day to every 3 days. More or less is possible but that should be checked by a doctor. If it was always once every 5-7 days it's probably nothing and normal for you. If something changes about the rhythm then go see a doctor and that can mean you're one of the once every 3 days people and now you poop daily. Even if it's inside the range, go see a doctor!
And one myth: if your body is the slow type like every 2-3 days or even 3-5 days fibre and stuff won't help, it's just a heavier poop (in weight) after 5 days than usual.
Lmao i love how we already have lemmy lore
What in the world did I miss
Someone posted earlier asking for the best means to not poop (and other requirements) for three days. Welcome to the next front page of the internet!
Im like a hot pocket full of faeces

You don't block them
One time me and my girlfriend (now wife) went to visit my grandparents at their winter home in Texas. I say home, but it was just their RV that they drove down in the winter to avoid the snow. Anyway, It didn't want to blow up the RV with a huge steamy log, so I held it in for a few days. On the night of the 4th day, we ended up going to a swimming pool. While changing into my swimsuit in the locker room, I realized they had nice toilets there and it would be a good opportunity to unload.
I don't know what I was expecting, but for some reason I wasn't planning on 4 days worth of shit coming out at once. Not like soft, mushy turds, but one big strong firm log that just kind of piled up in the bowl like a shit pile pyramid.
I tried to give it a courtesy flush before I wiped, as is my custom, but that puppy was too big to go down. Seeing it was in a public toilet, it's not like I had a plunger or anything. I tried flushing a few more times, but the water was getting dangerously high in the bowl and I didn't want to deal with a turd water tsunami. So I had no choice but to leave it and duckwalk over to another stall where I could wipe my asshole before fleeing the scene.
So yeah. I guess my apologies to whoever had to eventually deal with that at the Brownsville Texas RV park circa 2005.
