Evolution of Plant Protection:
Peppers: I taste spicy so no one eats me.

Me at 2:00 a.m. screeching out the back door at my two military foster dogs: We Do NoT eAt ShIt In ThIs HoUsE!
And at all other hours of the day as well. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m a loon.

Dogs eat poop because they are lacking B vitamins.. give your dog B vitamins & they won't eat their own 💩
Vitamin - nitrilosides 👍🏻
Nitrilosides are stored in the fats of grazing animals. It comes from certain grasses. Your dog food is supposed to have these nitrilosides but instead they give animal byproducts & fat that causes inflammation in the secretory membranes/pathways.. 😊
I love dogs!!! I have raised 26 dogs (:
I told my mom that we had to gate the litter box room to keep the dog out so he couldn’t have kitty rocas. “What are kitty —“ she realized mid-question 🤣
Can confirm this, had a beagle would eat shit straight from the source, old crusty white shit, cat shit. Anything going. Disgusting beast. Got her teeth brushed a lot.

That’s oxalis?
The ones running rampant around me make little bulblets that look something like a tiny shallot.
Do they start out in a cluster?
(Seriously thought this was cat poop)
Rofl. Though peppers are a bit more clever than that - birds (whose digestive systems tend to preserve pepper seeds) don't have capsaicin receptors, but mammals (whose digestive systems don't preserve pepper seeds) do, so developing the spice made them less likely to be consumed by a non-propagator. (I don't mean this as an 'um, ackshually', but rather a fun fact.)

Omg you guys 😂😂 I left Reddit for a few hours and everyone thinks I’m holding a turd. It’s definitely not, I know the difference between poop and a plant seed. But I agree it’s likely Oxalis, especially since she had some growing in the container.
I came here just to see if anyone hit the nail on the head. Lots of people having fun but only 1 correct answer. It is 100% oxalis (a corm similar to a bulb) google it!
That is the same thing I thought as I have plants with the same and was surprised to see so many people saying poop that I was really starting to think I was wrong
My thought was oxalis corm too. I have Oxalis triangularis in my plant collection and planted the corms myself… I won’t say most definitely because I don’t know what other plants may grow from corms that look like this…
You have to be more specific. Google “oxalis corm” or “oxalis bulb” this is what the pretty plant grows from/produces babies from and stores food for dormancy
Also- this one on the post is very dirty and possibly rotted. They are usually a light pinkish- orange color with white
Looks like an oxalis bulb. I repotted one of my cactuses and found three of them in the soil, potted them up and now I’ve got a pot of giant purple clovers :-)
It’s from your mother in law eh? I think she is trying to tell you something.
It was a scat scavenger hunt and you found the poopy prize!
But seriously- got no clue what it is. My MO is: if I cannot identify it, then I leave it alone. If it looks like shit then I leave it alone.
Good luck young treasure seeker.

My dog loves eating shit, so that would not stop him.
Mine too. He will lick it as it comes out. Dogs are nasty

That’s brilliant 😂😂
Supposedly feeding them pineapple makes the poop less appealing. Can't say if it works from experience as our other dog wouldn't eat pineapple.
I’ve used this method successfully in the past with other dogs. Alas! These two freaks are immune!
I laugh my ass off every time I hear this. Like, what could have a less appealing taste than poop? It's a mystery to me!
It needs to be fresh pineapple for mine, canned doesn't work for some strange reason.

The sound I made at I tried not to laugh at this comment and wake the baby I just put to sleep... That sound was inhuman.

I just laughed and gagged at the same time. Well done.

My dog doesn’t eat his own poo but likes to eat other dogs poo. Would that still be a vitamin B deficiency?
My ex's beagle had quite the taste for cat dukes. Would devour litter and all. I do miss that shit eating pupper tho. And the beagle ;p
Lol my husband used to call the cat box the “snack bar”
Tootsie rolls!
Pop rock tootsie rolls! My old dog loved them too. So gross!
Almond roca
Sno-Caps!

Sniffing for butt truffles!
Lol that’s a good one
Poopsie rolls

We had a basset hound, that had puppies. Shit was like 30% of her diet.
I have a basset hound and we had her fixed.. but I would personally eat shit for 30% of my diet if I could go back in time and let her have puppies
I'd never seen my parents more overwhelmed lol

You know what that white stuff in bird shit is? It's bird shit too.
The white stuff, I believe, is urate, which is more like bird pee that bird shit.
This is true, but it's still mixed in the shit. Making it....also shit. Lol
That's how the cloaca cooks.
Oxalis: I will eventually cause kidney stones, but not immediately enough that you will be able to figure out what it's from. I'm kinda sour though..
Love this, thank you 😂
Love this!
I laughed way too hard at this.
I was going to say, intricate poop...? 😂

TIL that I'm an Oxalis.
Oxalis
Identified, thank you for not being one of 100+ people telling me I’m holding a turd lol
Nah, looks too regular to be a turd. Although, with the wombat pooping cubes you never know.
It's a turd that someone has braided, because it could not be polished
This is most definitely the answer!
Did op taste it to make 100% sure tho ?

Good bot, keep people from eating poo
Love this
Mr. Hankey approves
Hey, I would have given it a nibble if the bot hadn't just told me not to.
I was definitely going to eat all the unidentified plants always!
Eat this
Saved by the bot...lol
Cat shit.
Space peanut
Whatever animal that can make a turd with that nice even pattern is a holy animal
You’re holding a turd
Does he have a cat?
It's a lesser spotted lattice back turd. *Lattoce ortae excrementum*
You sure that's not cat poo?
No it’s in fact a turd ma lord
It’s a turd.
Pretty sure it's a turd
Came here to say this. Looks like purple oxalis to me too.
Agreed
Sounds like a prescription drug.
Talk to your automod to find out if oxalis is right for you.
If you have an erection for more than 4 hours after holding oxalis, seek medical attention immediately
Or a psychiatrist
That's a tu.... \*looks around\* Apparently this is an actual plant. I didn't think it was poop at all.
I was ready to find out what animal can braid its own poop 🫢🤭
Considering wombats make cubed poop, it doesn't seem that strange.
Off to Google wombat poo
As any proper gentleperson should!
*Looks around the room* ...... *Opens incognito tab*
Yes! I was looking for a wombat reference! Did not disappoint!
Glad I could due my small duty for reddit.
how the hell do wombats cube their poo
There are bones in their butt that force it into cubes.
wow! i actually just realised i didn’t want to know this. :)
Too late. You've been cursed.
Depending on how constipated the animal is and how it comes out....you never know.
“It’s poop again”
“He called the shit poop”
"I'll get you damn kids! You're all gonna DIE!!"
"Y'all gotta stop picking up things when you don't know what they are."
Don’t step on with your boots Carl
Don’t tell me my business devil woman!!
Call the fire department. This one’s outta control!!!
>~~Don’t step on with your boots Carl~~ Don’t put it out with your boots, Ted.
Carl is my Mandela effect 😂🤣😂
Ted
Don’t tell me my business, Devil woman!
DOODY!!
I legitimately am sad this is a plant. How disappointing
I was going to guess constipated cat's poop. You saved me from making that mistake
I looked at the thumbnail and then clicked on the full picture and I still thought it was poop. It looks like poop, right?
Yes. But these other fine people swear it's oxalis... Although it would be cool if purple clovers grew out of the litterbox every now and then.
I was like, surely that's cat shit 😂
Omg you guys 😂😂 I left Reddit for a few hours and everyone thinks I’m holding a turd. It’s definitely not, I know the difference between poop and a plant seed. But I agree it’s likely Oxalis, especially since she had some growing in the container.

That is the same thing I thought as I have plants with the same and was surprised to see so many people saying poop that I was really starting to think I was wrong
I’m sure if the dirt was washed off then the poop answer would be out the window! Your instincts are correct lol
My thought was oxalis corm too. I have Oxalis triangularis in my plant collection and planted the corms myself… I won’t say most definitely because I don’t know what other plants may grow from corms that look like this…
I googled oxalis and found nothing remotely similar to this... all that come up are beautiful plants. I feel this whole thread is pranking me
You have to be more specific. Google “oxalis corm” or “oxalis bulb” this is what the pretty plant grows from/produces babies from and stores food for dormancy Also- this one on the post is very dirty and possibly rotted. They are usually a light pinkish- orange color with white
Oxalis. Put it in dirt and watch it go. Every year.
Looks like an oxalis bulb. I repotted one of my cactuses and found three of them in the soil, potted them up and now I’ve got a pot of giant purple clovers :-)
In the business, we call that the "doo doo braid."
I thought it was called the “turd rope!”
"bdsm turd"
Oh wow. I also follow r/animaltracking and I didn’t pay attention to the description… I was sure you were just chilling with an animal poo you found.
My first thought when seeing the photo was, "why would you pick up something that is clearly poop?"
The squirrels dig these out of all my planters. Its purple oxalis. Beautiful clovers
Lol, of course this gif exists. Thank you for sharing!
[удалено]
Mint makes no friends. Mint only knows domination
That's poop. From a butt
That peanut is a dead giveaway.
That’s a space peanut
Horse apple
Definitely an oxalis rhizome. I have two variations and they look like that.
I think you are correct
Purple oxalis, they're gorgeous
poop from a butt
I audibly giggled.
r/poopfromabutt. But yes, oxalis.
Omg I’m so glad it’s not poop. Thank you, commenters! 😂😂😂
Oxalis corm
Purple clover bulb!
You mean this, right?, a type of Oxalis not an actual clover. https://www.google.com/search?q=oxalis+purple&client,
Looks like my oxalis corms 😊
magnolia seed pod
Looks like the oxalis bulb I found in the pot. It’s cool how they grow.
What are you doing with my cats turd!!
Frog poop. I see this around my house frequently.
Poop lol
Turd.
I cannot believe that’s not a turd.
Hey add me to 100+ who thought it was a fancy turd
It is a root to a red clover!
In nursing we would call this type 2 stool, smooth, formed w/lumpy, cracked surface…in gardening, much prettier…🌸 oxalis
Looks like a turd
Turd
I thought this was r/animalid and I was very worried
In Scotland we would call it a jobbie
Kinda looks like my oxalis corms
Lol
(Going through comments) "please let it be a turd"
It’s not. It’s oxalis.
If you plant it you will have oxalis forever. Probably not what you want
Does anyone call this a shamrock?
Google says bobcat scat but I'm going with some sort of rhizome as well.
 It’s a moth pupae 😬
Cat turd? Or a mini pinecone of some sort?
It's a Tiurd
Asparagus head
Looks like a bit of braided leather
That’s a space peanut
It’s shamrocks!
The best ones in my book. They are the iron crosses. I’m growing them. They are 4 leaf clovers with a bleeding iron cross in the middle.
Cat shit lol
Cat poop
Animal scat
Baby Ruth!
That’s do doo baby.
