Toxic Poop

[thegenius]

I just saw an advert on YouTube where a guy squawks

"Did you know there is 5-20 pounds of toxic poop inside you at any given time?"

What BS...why is it that most CT scans show no poop. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Is all this toxic poop sitting in the haustra that nothing can see?

Anyone ever pick up 20 lbs of meat? It's heavy

Maybe they meant Karma.

That's only 1-8 Courics. Bono's world record poop was 9.5 Courics. Remember, Randy was able to eat for 3 weeks to build up a 14 Couric poop.

Bono is #2

Bono is #2

That remains disputed.

Of course there's 20 lbs of toxic poop inside. And, buying his stupid product "is the only cure!" Meanwhile the only thing the product actually does is separate gullible people from their money. This is 90% of marketing.

Putting "gluten free!" on products that never had gluten. Writing "New and improved!" in giant orange letters on the bottle, when the only thing new is the label. Having some "trusted" celeb tell you to buy the latest greatest product they know nothing about (it's the same old sheit, rebranded). Always have them test drive the car and fall in love, before talking cost (logic loses to emotion, every time).

Marketing 101

Implant fear, hype the 'cure,' capitalize on the impulse buy. So easy in today's world with click-and-ship.

Read the book "Influence," by Robert Cialdini, and you'll realize how easily we're all suckered in by these knee-jerk marketing tactics, often without even knowing it.

this thread took an immediate sharp left turn and I am so happy it did

Is this why so many patients have panicked look on their faces when they tell me "She hasn't gone in 5 days!"? (They never seem satisfied when I tell them, "Sounds uncomfortable, you should probably do something about it". )

Is it anyone else's experience that a lot of old people want to have their BM in the department? I don't get it.

But highly disagree that most CT scans don't show any poop. I feel like the majority of people are at least a little constipated. I'm pretty regular, but after a string of nights I feel like I could give Randy a run for his money.

I've never seen this episode, but the beauty of South Park is that the jokes are so good that they still land, even with minimal context.

At the core of every good joke is a kernel of truth.

The FDA says you can only put "new" or "improved" on your product for 6 months, and, there has to be something demonstrably different. So, that area is a bit covered.

South Park is observational humor. The show is timeless because it picks on everyone, and every political party. No one in public life should be excused from ridicule.

That’s super easy to manipulate. “Demonstrably different” means different things to different people.

...right down the sigmoid.

That's the arbitrary thing that isn't, though. Just for the reason that you mention, it has to be objective. No matter how big are Proctor and Gamble, or Unilever, the .gov is bigger.

can we get back to how completely obsessed everyone over 55 immediately becomes with their stool frequency? Its clearly the toxins in the poop causing delirium

Apparently the SDN server had too many Courics and crashed.

I think that's a sunflower seed

Every CT scan shows a bit of **** because that's the purpose of the colon, to reabsorb water from your **** and hold it there until you release it.

You're scanning the abdomen. Do a CT head with contrast and it lights right up.
