I’ll never forget about the guy on reddit who talked about his poop knife 😳

    Did you ever hear of the channel S.V. Seeker? Honestly my favourite bit of niche internet drama, I can't even begin to list the crazy shit that went down but basically a madman with zero knowledge of sailing let alone boatbuilding welded together an ill-conceived hulk roughly according to the plans of someone who is himself a nutter; misadventures on the way include pouring a lead keel and poisoning the topsoil if not himself, faking an explosion and resulting traumatic brain injury to learn who his 'real fans' were, and creating possibly the scariest boat I've ever heard of which no doubt will end up on the news one day having becoming a hazard to navigation.

    Anyway he's the first person I ever heard of using a poo knife. He was openly advocating the practice, as well as a 'poo nest' to prevent splashback.

    A... Lead keel?

    For something that is supposed to float?

    That's normal in sailing boats to be fair, you want a keel made of something dense and lead remains a decent choice for that, it's more expensive than iron but offers more weight for the same hydrodynamic drag. Stability in a sailing boat requires a counterweight to the wind trying to blow you over.

    What's not normal is trying to pour many tons of the stuff in your backyard in Oklahoma as an amateur. Also 'hydrodynamic' or even 'stable' are not words I'd associate with Seeker.

    I knew a poop knife family. They had 10 kids though, that might have had something to do with it.

    I just feel like, and maybe I’m misunderstanding the usage instructions here, but if you have to use a knife to scrape poop off your behind… you should probably see a doctor about changing your diet.

    Apparently super common and a religious thing.

    Never thought I'd feel so warm towards a toilet brush before I read that story.

    What kind of religion requires a diet that creates logs that need to be manually broken up to flush? I know US style toilets are more prone to blocking but that seems absurd to be so common.
