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?

One of the delights of being a schoolteacher I guess. Just make stuff up and watch em go.

    Once during a high school history lesson on a quite debate-inducing topic my teacher just shut me down with "I'm a PhD in history".

    For ~15 years I thought my history teacher was PhD until quite recently discovering it was a lie. 🗿
