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?
Thought this was c/shittyasklemmy. It’s not, so here’s an earnest response. I’m from the US, but have spent a bunch of time living outside of the country. Every guy I know usually poops daily, but a lot of women only poop every couple of days. It doesn’t have anything to do with the cold.
Fun somewhat related story time. I once had a colleague travel to the US from South East Asia. He went to our boss a few days into the trip and said he needed to go to the hospital. My boss eventually convinced him to explain the problem. His poop was a solid mass instead of liquid. Dude had never had solid shit before. It’s possible an anecdote like this is what gave your teacher that idea.
Maybe.
But I also remember that she was a little xenophobic. Maybe she just made that up on the spot lol
How did you acquire this data?
Simple. He asks women if they’ve pooped today and they reply “Of course not!”
It’s foolproof.
Thanks
wait, women poop? I HAVE BEEN LIED TO!
Apparently not very much lmao
Poppycock! My wife lays out a massive deuce every morning like clockwork.
the SAD is very lacking in fiber, not at all surprised
