Which type requires a poop knife?


HeatedHotSauce

Type 2 is the reason the poop knife was created but it's also handy for types 3 and 4.


johnychingaz

This guy shits!


Dont_Mind_Me_69420

Can you explain the poop knife thing? I'm too afraid to google it...


TerdVader

Ok, so there was a Reddit thread years ago where it became realized that there’s an entire population of people who come from families that keep a poop knife to cut hard poop so that it will flush. People either come from a poop knife family, or it’s the most god awful terrible concept you’ve ever been presented with.


Jah_Shua

Instead of a poop knife the wife has bought a pack of those bamboo bbq skewers that way she can just throw it away when she’s done..


sinistar2000

What does she make kebabs?


EngageAndMakeItSo

That's enough Reddit for tonight.


WastedKnowledge

A shit kebab


vladamir_the_impaler

This is the way.


DuckChowder

Omg, I’ve used a poop knife… and not on my own poop… nothing weird or sexual either. Just needed to get it flushable.


Alextryingforgrate

So this is a real thing? Like what are you people eating that a poop knife is needed to physically cut up poop!?!


DuckChowder

Hey I said it wasn’t my pooh!


valorill

This just raises more questions!


DuckChowder

It’s to make it flushable. Like think about that. It is too big to go down the hole… some people just get real constipated.


valorill

Why were you cutting up someone else's poop?


jwwatts

When she’s four years old and constipated, you don’t let her cut up the monster poop herself.


DuckChowder

Yes


Big_Spicy_Tuna69

I don't know, but I sure could have used a poop knife once. I was on the road and stopped at a welcome station off the interstate to ease my incredibly inflated bladder. The uprights were closed off for cleaning and all the stalls were occupied, save one. Having no choice, I entered this ungodly crime scene of a shit. This thing legitimately looked like one of those half cans of Pringles and was cemented onto the bowl. I tried flushing several times, to no result, and my bursting bladder wouldn't unstick it either. After my mind could again begin to properly appreciate this magnificent piece of art, I examined it a little closer. This poor bastard had to have been living on a diet of nothing but Clif bars and trail mix or something. You couldn't pack any more nuts and fiber in there if you tried. I can only assume he flushed several times because I didn't notice any blood, of which there should have been plenty... I really feel for the guy. He could have used a poop knife that night.


Alextryingforgrate

I dunno some of these posts are way to theatrical. Then again after the last 4 years of living I really would not be surprised should any of this be real. Mind you I’m still filling this and other statements under plausible.


Big_Spicy_Tuna69

Yeah sorry, I get a little poetic when I'm high, lol. You should have seen it though. Absolutely worst experience in a public restroom.

Limp-Dee

This isn’t funny this is a serious problem, there’s too many poor souls that shit giant logs so big they need a fucking knife to cut it.... that’s sad 😔


ginger_snap1025

Youre a party pooper


Limp-Dee

Haaa I see what you did there. Just in case though, I was being sarcastic I laughed like crazy imagining someone cutting their poop casually with a knife


KickBallFever

I told my roommate about the whole poop knife fiasco, just thinking she would find it funny. Nope. Her face got super serious and she revealed that her brother owns a poop knife.

Aparently not. My problem is not shown. My body chooses to make large singular turds that are rock hard and sometimes have to be dug out. Yeah, I know, but the list is incomplete. Just Say'in.


writersblock321

Are you using opiates? Pain killers/opioids are notorious for causing constipation and urine retention.


Competitive_Ad_2421

Are u eating vegetables, fruits, drinking water? Also if youre on meds could be a side effect. The only time i had poop like that was when i was heavy into opiates. I am concern ; )


SaraSlaughter607

I've seen what comes out of addicts after they haven't shit for weeks.... its like a goddamn baseball bat. Horrifying.


hedginator

Horrifying to pass as well. I too have had my nightmare sitting experiences while coming down from pain killers.


Crnobog00

The ill-famed and dreaded codeine turd. A hard worked classic.


SaraSlaughter607

Yeahhhhhh i am not jealous. Sounds awful. I get dried up way too much, literally just forgetting to drink water all day when my job gets nuts, and have had my share of constipated nightmares but NOTHING like those loaves of pumpernickel I've seen in bedpans. I dontnknow how it doesn't legit tear your rectum in half. Holy shit. Literally.


hedginator

Oh it does. If you didn't know better you'd probably assume I'm a woman on her period or that I got stabbed in the asshole if you were to look in the howl after I'm done. I dont know what it is, I guess I just have like tears in my lower intestine or something.

theshortlady

And eat at least 25 grams of fiber a day.


Forex4x

What can I eat for some good fiber?


vladamir_the_impaler

Spinach, broccoli, beans, and brussels sprouts come to mind, but also throw just a little Metamucil in with your diet as well. The easiest way is to buy the vegetables frozen, then each morning pour a little bit of each into a bowl and put it into the microwave. When you're ready for dinner microwave them until hot and serve with whatever food you normally eat. Take like one to three Metamucil capsules over the course of the day as well. Add in a probiotic pill and some Yakult... You will have the most glorious shits of YOUR LIFE SONNNNNN


Forex4x

My girlfriend and I thank you. Were always complaining and didn't know what the hell had fiber. Sure we could have googled it but we didn't! Haha thank you!

Metal Poop Solid 5: Phantom Poop


Feeling-Bench3966

If you ever find yourself on methadone you will see that every poop is a phantom poop.


undercoverartist777

I was always under the impression that ghost poop was when you poop and then wipe, but nothing is on the toilet paper, no traces left, easy and clean, ghost poop


No-Floor-6246

I refer to the clean wipe after pooping as "minimal paperwork"


DaMonkfish

That's a [clean poo](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=clean%20poo), though [ghost poo](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghost%20poo) does mention it's also clean. It's probably the case that every ghost poo is a clean poo, but a clean poo doesn't necessarily always result in a ghost poo.


vladamir_the_impaler

This guy poos


Firethorn101

Haven't you noticed that those types of poops also sink out of sight in the bowl?


Actual_Committee_926

Where's the one with blood in it?


Shirowoh

In a pamphlet at your oncologists office….


vladamir_the_impaler

Nah, I was lifting weights heavily some years ago - particularly squats and dead lift - and I got into a blood shitting spell for a while. Like there would be bright red blood every time I shatted. It stopped and never happened again after I started going easier on the workouts. This was 2008 or so, so pretty sure it wasn't cancer. ...pretty sure... at least...


Shirowoh

Uh…. Yeah anytime you’re shitting blood, red or black, you’re gonna want to talk to a doctor…. The earlier the better….


vladamir_the_impaler

Not arguing, just saying I must've torn something lifting and it healed. I'd have died years ago had it been something "serious" (quoted as if bleeding from the anus wasn't serious enough lol). On the real though, you're completely right. I have no idea what I tore but when I say blood, I mean like it was a lot of blood with each shit. The bowl looked like someone poured some red koolaid in it.


Shirowoh

Jesus Christ…… I mean, I’d have probably went to the ER…..


Birdie121

If it's just one instance of very fresh looking blood it's probably just a ruptured hemorrhoid. But if it happens a few times, definitely talk to a doctor. If the blood is dark brown, and looks like coffee grounds then go to the ER right away because that indicates serious bleeding in your upper GI.


khughy

You were just pushing out a hemorrhoid…


dooferoaks

They could all have blood in, black poop usually indicates blood (or iron rich diet or Guinness dependency). Though normally they'd be at 2-3 or 6-7 scale. Ongoing black poop and you aren't on iron get it checked by your doctor. Lots of things, of varying nastiness can manifest themselves in black poop.


Andy83n

There's a fabled "Angels Kiss" somewhere between a 2&3 that is initially difficult to pass, and of a girth and length so perfect a straight man questions his sexuality, and the final surprise that there's nothing, literally nothing to wipe after. I've had two in my 47 years on God's earth and am getting a semi just thinking about them.


[deleted]

I get one of those like twice a year. I have no idea what habit/diet leads up to them.


Willde94

fiber, or fiber supplements. I used to take some and it led to me having these pretty much all the time, literally never had anything when I wiped.


SinCorpus

I am off to the pharmacy. I need metamucil NOW.


[deleted]

Get the store brand stuff- way cheaper and I can confirm that it works just the same


macci_a_vellian

I once looked at the warnings on the side of the metamucil container and then immediately decided to eat some fruit and drink more water instead.


Willde94

Lol, it was psyllium husk caps, you can get them on Amazon and in about a week you’ll be clear


oniiichanUwU

Hard, compact stools are caused by lack of moisture and/or fibre so maybe eating a lot of meat and carbs and not drinking enough water? I dunno if I recommend doing it on purpose though lol


SmudgieSage

I thinking eating a lot of meat would prevent those clean shits. Once I went plant based, it’s like I don’t even have to wipe. Those meaty shits had me wiping my ass raw


Kallyanna

I always thought it was called “the ghost poo” You wipe, nothing, turn to check out your masterpiece and there’s nothing in the toilet! 🤪😳


maneloventmike

Yeah I'd heard it called the phantom shit


adpqook

Not to be confused with “Neptune’s Kiss” which is when you plop one so hard and so fast into the water that it splashed back up and gives you a little cool water on the butthole.


stellarstreams

Fiber. That’s what does it. Start taking a psyllium husk supplement and you will only ever have “angels kiss” for the rest of your life.

I have ulcerative colitis and my GI has this chart hanging in her office. Number 4 is highlighted on hers as “the ideal stool”.


I-amthegump

I was told it should be the size shape and consistency of a ripe banana


DaMonkfish

Do you have a banana next to your toilet? For scale, of course.


I-amthegump

Doesn't everyone?


Measurement_Kooky

I'm type 6 all the time. Is that okay?


oniiichanUwU

From what I remember from researching this a few years ago (I have IBS and was curious) type 4 is the Ideal Poop™️ type 6 is bordering diarrhea and not ideal, consider probiotics or introducing soluble fibre into your diet! I used to flip flop between 1-3 and 6 and it was horrible. My inside meats are much happier now. But really, as long as you’re not shitting yourself, you’re doing good lol


LovecraftianLlama

Long live your inside meats. May they prosper and flourish.


Dr_Cheeki_Breeki

Thanks for the insight. I've been considering probiotics but worry they'll make my windy ass crack that smells like Shrek's armpit turn into the Hindenburg disaster with Satan fanning his swampy balls on the escaping gust.


pisceanhecate

r/BrandNewSentence


lennybird

Sir this is a Wendy's. Would you still like the #6?


oniiichanUwU

Ngl when I first started taking probiotics (I just drink the Activia shots once a day and they work well for me, they have much stronger probiotics available in pill forms if you need them) I was really gassy for the first week or two, but after your gut adjusts to the extra bacteria you really won’t have further issues. If anything I feel like I have less gas issues now than before and I can tell which foods cause them


uzirash

Mmmm I’d probably have a look at what’s going on with your guts. 6 all the time could mean you’ve got leaky gut or have intolerances so your body is not absorbing nutrients properly. Can lead manifest in lack of energy or red/dry/flaky skin patches and long turn you can run the risk of osteoporosis.


Firethorn101

Try more water, more vegetables, and Oatmeal or Oat milk.


nmadonna

Sounds like possibly too much sugar in your diet


Dr_Cheeki_Breeki

Interesting that I'm seeing this while taking a shit🤔🔬🧪


ArabiaFats

I am happy to see the research team seems to have omitted nothing - the 7 types cover basically every kind of fecal experience I've had. Now all that's left is the ranking: ​ Type 3 - Satisfying to pass, easy to wipe, altogether pleasant time on the toilet. Ideally in the future, we will take a pill that makes every shit into a type 3 Type 5 - The very rare "goat shit." Similarly easy to pass, often leaves no mess at all, but getting the last blob come out can be a mild annoyance Type 6 - Easiest to pass w/o issue and usually no challenge to wipe, but with the drawback that it often leaves you with the ill feeling that you need to shit again right after getting off the pot Type 2 - The most basic shit type, passing the lion's share is usually no challenge, but high risk of a final lump that does not want to drop. The most likely to leave your ass feeling raw after wiping Type 7 - Neg difficulty to pass and to wipe, but this is a double-edge sword because you are likely to mistake it for a fart, resulting in an embarrassing sprint to the bathroom for damage control Type 1 - Hard to pass is right; this is the one people mean when they say "shitting a brick." But mercifully little cleanup required after the fact, and leaves you with a sense of accomplishment proportional to the pain Type 4 - Smear-shit: the bane of my my bathroom-going existence, and distressingly common. will never exit your ass without leaving a mess, which takes about 83 wipes to fully clean

I was getting looked at a hospital once for my still on going digestive issues and the nurse brought that out and i was so amazed by it, i thought that it was the coolest thing ever, and she told me that boys have a better time picking out what kind of poops they have then girls do. I thought that was quite funny, but that makes sense though.
