My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.
Is this true?
As an American I am full of shit, yes.
The climate is colder in North America
It’s gonna be 81f (27c) where I live today, and it’s not even summer yet. At the peak of summer, we regularly get temperatures over 100f (~38c). We’ve even seen 111f (43.8c) in my state, and I don’t live in the hottest state, not by a long shot. Your teacher was incredibly ignorant.
It does get really cold here in the winter, but thankfully humans have developed these things called heaters, so it’s not cold indoors. I go from my heated house, to my heated garage, get into my car (which also has heat), and drive to my heated workplace, or the heated supermarket. Then I do the same trip in reverse. I’m only exposed to the extreme cold for 2-3 minutes the whole trip.
As far as shitting, I have IBS-D. I’d be so fucking happy if I could manage to only shit once a day. On bad days, I’m on the toilet 10-12 times.
No offense, but can u pls summarize?
Paragraph 1) It gets very hot here.
Paragraph 2) Even in the winter, we just turn the heat on.
Paragraph 3) I shit a lot.
In short, your teacher was an idiot.
Bait
I live in North America. It’s about daily for me. Doctor doesn’t care.
You can’t make him care, all you can do is keep notifying him when it happens.
Ironically that’s what twitter was once for lol
American here. I don’t shit. My digestive system is perfect and produces no waste.
Can confirm.
Source: am American, poop daily, saw a doctor once
In debt ever since
Are you still in elementary school? If not, you can’t possibly still believe this
If not, you can’t possibly still believe this
I did until now lol.
I’m busy with other things. I cant give much thought to how many times people in a foreign country poop.
Yet you posted this and didn’t stop to think about it?
No? Why would I? And what conclusion can I come to by thinking? Ive never been to NA anyways. Sometimes its ok to be ignorant of stuff
Ah ok you’re a troll. Got it.
Is this ragebait?
You are rage baiting 😂
literature.cafe
Checks out lol
67% come on someone rate this to change the number
done
…it’s still displaying 67%
refresh
What is?
upvote ratio
Ah, is this about that six seven shit?
And then there are the americans with IBS-d. They shit 5 to 10 times a day.
USAians eat burgers, fries, and high-fructose corn syrup. They sit on the toilet trying to excrete their non-fluid bodily waste on average for 8-9 minutes due to a horrendous lack of fiber. More than 72% are overweight and 47% are obese.
If I had to guess, once a week sounds about right for the average Magastanian. Not sure about the rest.
One meal in, one meal out
Some of us do, but that’s a dietary issue associated with high animal product consumption and basically no fiber consumption.
Like everyone else anywhere from 3x/day to once every 3 days is normal and healthy.
You have no idea what you’re talking about
You have no idea who you’re talking about
Do I now?
I actually tried out the carnivore diet for a couple months a few years back. After the first week, I had a bm at the same time every single day. For comparison, I was averaging once per 2-3 days before that.
While I’m not a fan of the diet, the experiment did a good job of revealing who didn’t know shit about what they’re talking about, with the subject this time being you and @captianlezbian.
You have no idea where you’re talking about
Your experience matches mine.
If only. But sadly it’s never been less than twice a week for me, even when I was vegan.
I would think being vegan it would be easier to get fiber.
Fiber was fine, there’s just less waste.
Same reason as why Americans blow the toilet after going to Taco Bell:
FIBRE
Y’all just eat meat and cheese. No fibre, thus you’re always constipated.
Here in hot Australia, there are so many toilets to help with the diarrhea every summer…
I just flip upside down in my ground harness and let the poops fall out into space.
I suppose your teacher read a statistic that Americans are more likely to be constipated due to more cheese and less veggies and fruits in their diets, and constipated people on average poop less, and just simplified this trivia in their long-term memory and lost the details.
No way lol, cheese makes up somewhere like 80% of my diet and I still shit at least once a day lmfao
