This reminds me of my high school days. In health class, we were taught that a healthy digestive system had at least one bowel movement per day. Throughout the course, we were also encouraged to promote generic healthy habits with our friends, family, and classmates; basically help each other stay accountable with their health and nutrition.

One of my friends took this to heart. He started going up to people - literally anyone - and asking in a concerned tone, "Did you poop today?"

If they gave any answer besides "yes," he would go off about all the health benefits associated with a daily bowel movement and what kinds of healthy foods and exercises would assist in having one. He would even offer to provide moral support from outside a bathroom stall if they needed it.

We all got a kick out of how deadpan and serious he played it. When the teacher asked him to knock it off, he insisted he was just concerned about promoting healthy habits, then would ask her if she had also pooped that day. To a room full of teenagers, there's nothing more hilarious than asking a teacher if she's pooped. No matter her response, the whole room was rolling in raucous laughter.

It's been over 20 years since then, and every time we meet in person, he still greets me with, "Did you poop today?"

    He does not, sadly. He lived a pretty wild party life for many years that got him addicted to heavy drugs, and he became a gay prostitute for a while. He completely disappeared for a handful of years into some creepy sex cult and popped up again when he was rushed to the ER one day. Almost dying in a hospital was the wake-up call he needed.

    He's been through rehab and recovery and as far as I know, he's working a pretty normal office job now. I'm good friends with his family, so I see him every time he's passing through town. And he still asks me if I've pooped that day.

    I think lemmy's apparent propensity for avoiding shitting is way funnier than whatever that bean business was. Why don't you just do that whenever there's too many politics in the shitpost community?

    Sounds like a lot of people will be full of shit. Literally instead of just metaphorically...

    The link played a video for Domino's. It's like YouTube wants me to fail the challenge.

    I know it's a joke, but technically possible on a water fast. I'm not recommending it, but not actually impossible.
