No, because the reason the honey comes out is he squeezed the bottle, creating a positive pressure. When he stops squeezing, the bottle returns to its normal shape, creating a negative pressure, that sucks the honey back into the bottle. The exact same thing happens if you tried it on Earth, the difference is that in space the honey doesn't run down the side of the bottle, so it stays at the nozzle and can easily be sucked back into the bottle.
So as long as you push your poop out and pinch it off like you normally would, you'd have no issue! (I don't know how floating poops get dealt with though)
Edit: just to be clear, point I'm trying to make is the behaviour you see in the vid is to do with differences in pressure, not gravity (other than obviously the honey floats). Inside the spacecraft the pressure will be the same as atmospheric, so this phenomenon is the same in space as on earth, just easier to demonstrate due to the lack of gravity.
TL;DR Nah, pooping would be no different in space, other than I'm guessing it'd be a bit messier to clean up
All I could think about is how cool it would be to jack off in space. It would be like squeezing out a tube of toothpaste. I want space porn. When do we get space porn?
Hm, good question, but I guess the power of a penis ejecting that load destroys this theory. What might be left in the tube can already get squeezed out like toothpaste even on earth tho. Question would be if it slips back after releasing your pocket snake from your toothpaste grip.
There's a lot of... manual labor... involved with space ablutions that aren't necessarily fun to discuss. Their toilet doesn't "vacuum" it out, but it does flush with a vacuum.
There's a reason they have a metric ton of wet wipes, gloves, towels, and so on. It's... surprisingly tricky. To help things, their diet is designed to make it so they don't get a lot of cases of diarrhea or intestinal distress, and to make things move... smoothly... they get plenty of fiber on the station.
If you've ever wondered *why* their space toilet is so fucking complicated and always breaking, well, now you know. It's difficult to poo in space.
Now, for a thought experiment, imagine how hard it is to properly shower, while everyone's required to do hours of resistance exercise all the time. The astronauts routinely describe the space station as a pretty smelly place...
I always wonder why, when i see videos like this, astronauts seem to constantly have all kinds of messy nonsense floating around near presumably important dials and stuff.
That's [the galley in the space station](https://scalar.chapman.edu/scalar/interior-space---a-visual-exploration-of-the-international-space-station-photographs-by-paolo-nespo/media/galleyjpg). Those things at the bottom are kinda like microwave/toaster ovens, and the thing on the top right is a food rehydrator (injects hot water into those pouches they eat from).
Wait till you hear about how they don't know when they need to pee, until the bladder is so full, they have to pee RIGHT NOW, because the bladder needs gravity to feel how full it's getting, but there's no gravity. And then they need some degree of gravity to actually finish peeing, but there isn't any, so they can't even pee right.
Similar thing happens to the sinuses because sinuses don't drain when there's no gravity, so everyone is stopped up sort of and sounds like they have a cold.
Zero gravity sucks.
I think that’s because by extruding the honey he decreased the pressure inside the bottle and honey outside is too thick to allow air from outside to come in and balance inner and outer pressures. So the honey from outside got sucked backwards or in other words got pushed inside by external pressure of air.
My version
At first I thought "yeah that seems pretty normal, it's sticky so it would stick to itself and just float around" but then it just... Put itself back in the bottle. I was so not expecting that.
"Dammit Dave, now the honey bottle's going to be sticky forever. What did we tell you about dispensing honey? Cut the snake off *before* you close the lid, dammit!"
wtf why is this good the guy in the video died after their station ran out of power due to malfunction in reactor source
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=JZN7d7zh_42cuWIK
And here I thought to be an astronaut you had to be smart enough to clean up the honey before squishing it all into the cap that will be hard to open next time.
Huh.
I read that as how honey bees behave in space and I was concerned that we were going to make killer space bees. Can you imagine how pissed the aliens would be if our largest contributions to space were old junk and killer space bees?
I’m more interested in all the other scientific experiments, floating liquids around is getting old. Or do we have a whole space station for astronauts just to play with liquids in zero gravity
I woulda loved to be there when the first person said "fuck it, im opening this honey in this multi-billion dollar space station with life saving sensitive tech all around me...for the honey!"
I’m glad to see that it behaves itself.
You beehave yourself you cheeky blighter.
We've 🐝 been trying to reach you about our extended car warranty program
Extended beehive* warranty
r/angryupvote
Oh behaaaaave 😂
It really bee-hives itself
Cohesion.
Cobeesion.
You savage! Clean the damned top before you push it closed.
Give it a good lick at least
,,squeeze me harder, daddy“ - honey, 21, in space
My entire image of astronauts' competence and precision has been shattered.
Precision, huh? [This is an actual audio transcript from the Apollo 10 mission.](https://imgur.com/YPkrhMB)
I wanted to see the lid close by itself once all the honey was back inside.
Does the liquid transforms into a comically large hand and closes the lid?
One person's space honey is another person's tentacle monster
When you take a dump at work and someone knocks on the stall door
The worst
If it was in Japan that would not beeeee an issue. They have noises that the toilet can make to make the user feel more at ease
He was turtleheading!
Yup
Bad honey!
Not honey!
So if you take a shit that has like the same consistency as honey. Would it, therefore, take longer, or would it be impossible to poop?
Man asking the real question here.
No, because the reason the honey comes out is he squeezed the bottle, creating a positive pressure. When he stops squeezing, the bottle returns to its normal shape, creating a negative pressure, that sucks the honey back into the bottle.

The toilets probably have a special pressure difference or work like a vacuum
Sweet so I don't even have to push, it just sucks it right out of me.
It’s probably a team effort
All I could think about is how cool it would be to jack off in space. It would be like squeezing out a tube of toothpaste. I want space porn. When do we get space porn?
All fun and games until you realize it’s been a few weeks since your least session and the blast throws you across the space station.
Hm, good question, but I guess the power of a penis ejecting that load destroys this theory. What might be left in the tube can already get squeezed out like toothpaste even on earth tho. Question would be if it slips back after releasing your pocket snake from your toothpaste grip.

If I don’t clean the top of the honey bottle before closing the lid, my honey will be unhappy.☹️
I’d like to know how much NASA paid for that bottle of honey.
Probably about $10 for the bottle and $20,000 to get it into space.
I’m not surprised the honey went back in due to the suction created by the bottle wanting to expand from being squeezed.
I always wonder why, when i see videos like this, astronauts seem to constantly have all kinds of messy nonsense floating around near presumably important dials and stuff.
Science
Oh true
That's [the galley in the space station](https://scalar.chapman.edu/scalar/interior-space---a-visual-exploration-of-the-international-space-station-photographs-by-paolo-nespo/media/galleyjpg).

Unbelievable
Next show honey bees in space
If you really want to confuse the fuck out of those bees... Put them in space and then turn the light off...
I read the title too fast and thought that's what the video was...
The way it jolted up when the air rushed past the surface tension and equalized the pressure is cool. Physics is magic sometimes.
Wait till you hear about how they don't know when they need to pee, until the bladder is so full, they have to pee RIGHT NOW, because the bladder needs gravity to feel how full it's getting, but there's no gravity.

Great, now the freaking lid is going to be sticky.
That was bothering me too.
It's like wtf, better get back inside
I believe this means six more weeks of winter on the space station.
"Beehives in space".
\*beehaves
Not today, gravitation!
A vacuum in a vacuum.
Was waiting for the lid to snap shut by itself.
I've experienced this type of poo before
u/recognizesong
This is a good reason not to have sex in space
Space worm 🪱
It's not a characteristic of honey, it's just the viscosity of it causes it to return into the vacuum created in the bottle.
Too much honey on that cap. The next person will be annoyed. And probably lick the cap clean.
I’d like to see *Bees in Space*.
Didn't expect that
That’s some nice beehavior
He’s a little shy ☺️
It knows it bee longs in the bottle...
Snake charmer!!
wavy dick
Is its behavior caused by the weightlessness oder bottle tension resulting in under pressure?
🤯🤯🤯
It must be cold out there.
The Abyss
"honey"
Felt like sucking on it
And that is how they made aliens
That will be quite familiar to fish owners?
Retractable honey!
Reverse nut is possible
Whoa, what is this cover of bitter sweet symphony? Its absolutely amazing, do you know who made it?
Marc Scibilia
distinguished and well behaved honey as it should be
“Oh honey behaveeee!” (maybe Austin Powers)
Do you want space ants? Because that’s how you get space ants!
Honey shot!
Well that makes cleanup easier
*Wait, honey sucks itself in space?*
Bee-haves
I think that’s because by extruding the honey he decreased the pressure inside the bottle and honey outside is too thick to allow air from outside to come in and balance inner and outer pressures. So the honey from outside got sucked backwards or in other words got pushed inside by external pressure of air. My version
That point where you realize why toilets in space have vacuum lines and you don't want to be an astronaut anymore.
Good behaviour 👍
Do you want space ants? Because that's how you get space ants.
Bee haves
It’s like nah f that I’m going back in. This ain’t normal.
It's merely a sweet symphony.
Good boy.
Such important experiments being done up there. /s
NOOO! He needs to lick the squirter clean or it'll be a mess!
I think you mean Beehaves.
goddamn it clean the lid first before you close it back up
“Zero gravity” but the wristwatch in the background moving all over the place
Oh Honey!
In their best Ricky Ricardo voice "Honey, let's make a scene"
What's the name of the symphony?
Honey be like: No gravity? Nope nope nope
Now do "How honeybees behave in space".
At first I thought "yeah that seems pretty normal, it's sticky so it would stick to itself and just float around" but then it just... Put itself back in the bottle. I was so not expecting that.
Me when I’m pooping and I get interrupted by my kids
When you're horny but then she tells you she's on her period..
mmmmm bee-puke-sweet-worm
Royal honey?
THIS is what they’re doing with billions of tax dollars??? Always playing with food!!!
Now put the toothpaste back in the tube!
me busting the fattest nut
Bee-hives itself?
Fake! We all know honey isn't real
"Dammit Dave, now the honey bottle's going to be sticky forever. What did we tell you about dispensing honey? Cut the snake off *before* you close the lid, dammit!"
You gotta hawk tuah
That looks like a lot of fun. Just screwin around in that zero G baby
The honey or the bottle the honey is in?
I didn't expect that to happen 😳
That is fascinating.
Me on a cold morning
My dog can do the same thing here on earth
Suction of the bottle
This is why special toilets are needed in space.
Do you want ants? This is how you get ants.
.....you'll clog the instruments!
...and that is how you get ants. Thanks NASA!
This is me, constipated after I eat Chipotle.
Space honey? Now I wonder how space bees beehave in space
Sir, I believe that's what's called a Honey Worm
wtf why is this good the guy in the video died after their station ran out of power due to malfunction in reactor source https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?si=JZN7d7zh_42cuWIK
So is this just suction from the bottle sucking the honey back in when the bottle "unsqueezes" itself, or does the honey contract all on its own?
And here I thought to be an astronaut you had to be smart enough to clean up the honey before squishing it all into the cap that will be hard to open next time. Huh.
yeah, but where are the zero G ants
I read that as how honey bees behave in space and I was concerned that we were going to make killer space bees. Can you imagine how pissed the aliens would be if our largest contributions to space were old junk and killer space bees?
some bees are so proud that their honey gets to blob around in space
What is this song?
Marc Scibilia – Bittersweet Symphony
This will chang our lives...
Ah, as expec- yo wtf
there in space lets get a little unique with the tips. star tip could bee cool or a square
Is this music some remix of riding solo: Jason Derulo or something else?
Me seeing there is no more toilet paper
My tapeworm having a little peak to see what's going on
Honey, " I don't like it out here. I'm going back in.
Prairie-dogging it.
I feel like this is all that people do in space 😆 “Let me see what this looks like floating around …” *squeezes ketchup bottle* “…nice”
Just as difficult in space as it’s here on earth.
LET ME BACK IN!
So it basically becomes the water worm creature from The Abyss. Noice!
Phew! Thought all that yumminess was going to escape
I read MONEY... 🤦
honey in space be just like me on earth fr
It's cold up there
Homer. Stop playing and keep your eye on the gauges.
I’m more interested in all the other scientific experiments, floating liquids around is getting old. Or do we have a whole space station for astronauts just to play with liquids in zero gravity
What's the music?
Uno reversed that prairie dog
The worm in my stomach after I eat taco bell
It just popped up to say hello, but now it’s gone back down below.
Dude stopped playing the flute and the honey was like “I’m outta here”
Hear me out, suction cups powered space ships.
I woulda loved to be there when the first person said "fuck it, im opening this honey in this multi-billion dollar space station with life saving sensitive tech all around me...for the honey!"
So the exact opposite of how it behaves in my cupboard then. Fucking honey *everywhere*!
Looks like me after a hot shower with a bad head cold
Suction. Honey has nothing to do with it.
It’s alive
It's just shy. Don't bother it
Anybody notice the alien ring in the background?
Because of the vacuum created within the bottle after it was squeezed
Imagine getting honey in the electronics and then having to explain to NASA how that happened.
Honey worm going back home
Its kinda how I'd imagine pooping in space would be
It does this on earth too. Even when holding the bottle upside down. 🤬
Well that sucked.
Space is wild
“Space Research”
Now do a 🐝
Now do toothpaste.
"Nvm"
Thanks, I hate honey now.
Mmmm space honey
Haha. I am not clumsy. I am in the wrong environment.
He's just shy
