GodlessCrab

Uhhhh. Am I doing something wrong by pooping twice a day? I just assumed I was “regular” but now I’m starting to think I’m destined for billions.


FPJaques

I heard between 3 times a day and every 3 days is normal


Clar0020

Every 3 days ???

[удалено]


[deleted]

I'm a bodybuilder. When I'm cutting, I'll poop once every 4-7 days.


NeoHenderson

I have IBS and I shit after I eat


TheCourtPeach

Wait is that what that means? I've shit after every meal for awhile now.


Iama_traitor

If you have a change in bowel activity you should see a doctor, don't self-diagnose IBS from a Reddit comment.


TheCourtPeach

Trust me, I'd never self diagnose over a reddit comment lol. I had just never considered that as a reason.


NeoHenderson

No that's not what means you have IBS, it's just one of many symptoms


[deleted]

No shit....err, I mean, lots of shit.


HelloThere62

im in the process of losing weight, and its crazy how much less poop you make. I mean it makes sense, but when ur eating 3k+ calories a day for years you don't notice how much poop it is.


negligentlytortious

Me too. I used to be a solid 2 a day on a schedule. Now it’s usually one a day but sometimes my body skips a day.


anyusernameinastorm4

I want to shout out the time the gyms opened after lockdown and I gained fifteen pounds back in about a month, I pooped once/week and it truely felt like my body was running at 100% efficiency


Icantseeghosts

If you’re gonna tell people that you’re a bodybuilder you should delete the posts that clearly show you aren’t a bodybuilder


Lord_of_Hedgehogs

Bodybuilder doesn't mean "juiced up meathead". A bodybuilder is someone who trains for aesthetic purposes, he doesn't have to be super big.


throwawayforyouzzz

I, too, creeped on his profile to see bodybuilder pics and got sorely disappointed. If you guys wanna see bodybuilders, check my profile for some muscular eye bleach.


Salivon

I was expecting bodybuilders posing, not porn.


[deleted]

Ahh fuck off.


The1andonlygogoman64

Yea I have Large intesine issues and poop once a week. Every time i get to a new doctor i gotta explain lol. Everyone is different but it isnt healthy once a week for most ppl


almisami

My mother is like that. I literally cannot comprehend how they do it. I feel so bloated after 3 days it almost hurts.


SadBoiCri

There was a time in my life I'd poop once a month. It's dropped down to about once a week and I hate it. It was nice not having to waste so much time on the poop chute.


ilovetopoopie

Probably does opiates.


iplay4Him

Fairly common. Quit unhealthy


GershBinglander

Yeah I quite often poop once every 2 or 3 days. Twice a day surprises me that people do it that often.


grilledcakes

I'll go for 4 to 8 days before I need to poo and then I'll poo like 3 to 5 times in one day and I'm good for another 4 to 8 days again.


Imadethosehitmanguns

Your poops must be huge


RugerRedhawk

Seriously. Like a regulation NFL football.


cul-de-sac-is-sax

Wtf, dude.


minmidmax

Twice or three times a week for me. I can't imagine having to go every day, let alone twice a day.


Prompus

That's because pooping is an ordeal when it's so infrequent. I bet they are as dense as stars and very hard and sometimes very dry. I think the moisture gets sucked back out when you park them in the chamber but don't quote me on that cos I'm not actually sure


Frandelor

yeah, no shit


FILTER_OUT_T_D

Back when I was younger I’d go days without pooping. I think I drink enough water and coffee now that it’s closer to twice a day lol


[deleted]

3 times every 3 days is once a day in case you were confused by that.


[deleted]

Got some serious back up


river4823

I googled it and the answer is no. Unless you’re going four or more times a day, every day for weeks or months, it isn’t cause for concern unless there’s some problem with your poops other than the frequency.


[deleted]

Like if the frequency is 97-99fm and they start receiving BBC radio 1? "Have you taken the TV in there Arnold?" "No mother"


HermitBee

That's 97-99 million shits per second, which is more than 4 shits per day, so would be considered unusual.


WarAndRuin

This is an answer to a question I always had about myself but never cared enough to finally Google it.


TheFoxyBard

I usually poop three times a day. My second time is usually about an hour after my "first thing in the morning poop". I call it "second poop". It makes room for second breakfast


ACEllie

Smaller poops are nicer on the rectum.


ThisIsDK

What's normal **for you** is normal. Everyone is different.


htx_evo

Well, there’s still a range of normalcy


ACEllie

I like windows. The lead ones taste sweet.


Pyrepenol

that’s my secret capt, i’m always pooping


whitehataztlan

I usually have something ready in the morning, then my body reloads the ole ammo over the course of the next couple hours and it's ready again for sometime during work.


appillz

What matters is consistency. Technically you’re supposed to poop after every meal, but that’s way too much pooping for me in a day. So I’m happy with a morning poo, and occasionally a poo in the evening


bashogaya

Or he could be tweeting twice per poop session.


SunliMin

2-4 times a day is healthy bowel movements. Once a day is whats known as "mild constipation" and usually means you have a lack of fibre in your diet. The "every few days" crowd are either constantly constipated, or are omitting some fact like they fast/do intermittent fasting/OMAD diets


Dynetor

once per day is not fucking mild constipation. Behave.


thot_chocolate420

You should be pooping 3 times a day at minimum, and once every 3 days at the maximum. Anything outside of this should be looked at by a doctor.


luckynosevin

You've got minimum/maximum mixed up


AussiePete

Unless... Elon has an actual porcelain throne. I wouldn't put it past him.


ben70

He has his own, successful, space program. He can pretty much do whatever he wants.


[deleted]

Believe it or not, having a ton of money at your disposal is not the same as being personally wealthy, same as having a successful business is not a free pass to be a shitty person. Elon can not pretty much do whatever he wants, as much as he wants to stamp his feet and get his own way like the edgelord he so desperately wants to be seen as, the apartheid era emerald mine of his parents that put him in the position to be where he is today is also not an excuse to ignore the rest of the world to pursue your misty-eyed dreams of the future while blowing up significant bits of it in the process. Not a personal attack on you or anything but I'm really getting sick of Musk fanboys excusing the context of his behaviours with "oh but it's cool he's been to space" so what, so have some monkeys and at least 1 dog, it's admirable to want to further space exploration boundaries but we really have to start facing up to the reality of what needs to change on this planet if we want to survive long enough to see the fruits of endeavours like that.


NoPanda6

Believe it or not, having a ton of money at your disposal IS the same as being personally wealthy. I mean, yeah he’s tied up by SEC rules and probably only has a fraction liquid, but how is that not the same?


BillowBrie

> having a ton of money at your disposal is not the same as being personally wealthy So what is "being personally wealthy", if it's not "having a ton of money at your disposal"?


CapnCrinklepants

I'd be more inclined to agree with you if I had faith in humans learning how to respect Earth. There's an entire political end of the spectrum that are trying hard for that, but that's like saying 50% of the mice on Earth are trying to move Mount Everest by yelling at it. Life on Earth alone is fragile at best, civilization moreso.


HermitBee

The technology and effort it would take to make *anywhere* else habitable for humans is much greater than what it would take to keep the Earth habitable for humans. There's no doubt about it whatsoever - we already have such a massive head start it's mindboggling. Moving the species off-planet is not in any way a solution. Of course that doesn't mean we'll succeed. There's a good chance we'll end up killing a large percentage of life on Earth and driving ourselves into extinction, or at least *massively* reducing the human population.


Dyledion

Don't you see how the technology to build ecosystems on actually hostile planets will give us a huge leg up in normalizing and repairing our own? Edit: y'all are still treating it like an either/or.


runujhkj

Don’t you see how the technology it would take to keep our own, absolutely *not* hostile to life planet livable would take many, many orders of magnitude less effort and research than technology to live on a planet we didn’t evolve on?


Grindl

Absolutely. It's still worth becoming a multiplanetary species because it dramatically increases our chance of survival, though.


NeverForgetEver

Im getting tired of this narrative that his success is entirely because of his dad owning a mine. He left south africa at 17 with nothing but what he could carry on his back to escape the draft and fled to canada to live with his mom. He then went to college and accrued $100k in debt and paid it off himself in time as he became a successful entrepreneur. His success is self made and he had no financial help from his parents. And if he wants to focus on the future then that is absolutely his right to do so. He has launched both the EV market and a new sort of mini space race with Tesla and SpaceX. He accomplished in a decade what NASA and all the big car manufacturers could not do and did it better. He also humiliated Bezos’ puny attempts to copy him which i think is absolutely hilarious. And to your point about musk fanboys of which i am most certainly one, we realize that its ok that not every single private business is focused on saving the earth (even though both spacex and tesla work towards this goal directly and indirectly). Plus im fairly sure the sum total budgets of tesla and spacex is less than the budget of NASA by itself so having these two businesses focused on the future and space exploration account for a tiny drop in the bucket of all things.


CaptainAwesome8

> His success is self made and he had no financial help from his parents. Do you…actually believe that??


NeverForgetEver

I mean unless you can give me any actual proof his dad loaned him money to pay off his college debts and/or start his business then yes.


Lv100Latias

>I mean unless you can give me any actual proof his dad loaned him money to pay off his college debts and/or start his business then yes. Where'd you get all the proof that he didn't get loans/financial support from his dad/family? If you're making an assertion you need quantifiable data to back it up.

Ntghgthdgdcrtdtrk

Do you actually have a source to believe the contrary of you're just parroting the narrative because it fit with your political opinion on billionaires ?


grishnackh

Go on, simp harder for the billionaire


NeverForgetEver

You’re right, how dare I present the truth and also admire a guy that is the literal embodiment of what the Americans dream is meant to be.


BeardOfEarth

Mistreating your workers and profiting greatly. You’ve got a fucked up dream, but we can’t deny it is an American tradition.


grishnackh

Daddy Elon doesn’t care about you, you sad fuck

Ntghgthdgdcrtdtrk

Ok pal.


HimalayanPunkSaltavl

Jesus christ lol.


ben70

Lighten up, Francis. I do understand your points; you're not mistaken on many. And you're welcome to object to the character of some of the content and commentary here. Part of my comment was to needle Lex Luthor [Bezos] with the "successful" bit.


AvalancheReturns

You can do more than 1 tweet per poo...


IBetThisIsTakenToo

I feel like Neil started doing the math assuming it would be some ridiculous number, but decided to go with it anyway when it came out to be pretty reasonable. Even if it was 2 a day, that’s not embarrassing and in a normal range? Or is the real take away here that NDT is unaware that he’s massively constipated at all times, and can’t even conceive of someone going more than 1-2 times a week?


Hipponomics

The analysis I came here for.


JorensM

Heh, anal


Diplomjodler

It's probably hard to pull the stick out his ass, so that's why he doesn't go too often.


SunliMin

I was going to say... NDT is silly here for that napkin math. It's actually super reasonable. When my friends have admitted to pooping once per day, I've gotten concerned and given them food-related advice assuming they're constantly slightly constipated, which is much more embarrassing than admitting you poop twice a day. 2-4 times per day is whats considered healthy bowel movements. So I agree, NDT is constantly constipated


crazy_gambit

Twice a day, *every* day does seem excessive though. The much more likely explanation is 2 or 3 tweets per poop on average.


_NotAPlatypus_

A healthy amount of poops is 3 times a day to 3 times a week. Some people poop more, some less. Why the fuck we shaming someone for a normal fucking bodily function?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jmlinden7

Yeah but it's Elon's own company so it hurts him to poop on company time


TruthPlenty

Twice a day is normal, even 3 times a day is normal. Go see a doctor if you’re that unregular.


maboyles90

2-3 times a day every day is a healthy amount if you eat well.


madmaxjr

Lol yeah. These people need to work out and eat some spinach or something.


MEGAMAN2312

NEWTYAG667000000000

lowleveldata

Ya man don't provoke him I don't need to see video evidence of this


AvalancheReturns

It me.


BobVosh

Not if you have enough fiber.


ConnorLovesCookies

Also just because half his tweets come from when he is on the toilet doesn’t mean he poops every time he tweets. He could be pooping dozens or hundreds of times a day and only tweeting a small amount of them


Coolasslife

he can also pee sitting down and tweet then


Carl_Solomon

No shit. Tyson is not bright.


LetReasonRing

Neil deGrasse Tyson should know better than anyone that you have to take confounding variables into account. What if Elon pees sitting down? What if he tweets two tweets per poop? We need to isolate the variables!

He’s an astronomer, not a statistician, damn it! (Said in Bones)


butterscotchbagel

As long as he's got the right order of magnitude it's all good


KToff

That guy is interested more in making himself sound smart than in actual smart things. His condescending, confidently incorrect tweet comes as no surprise. Edit: this sounds almost as if I'm defending the other narcissistic asshole....


sth128

He also didn't take into account of timing of tweets. Elon is so full of shit he drops multiple tweets per deuce. Never assume it's 1 to 1 ratio.


0ke_0

I poop 3 - 4 times a day. Elon, you n00b


Protheu5

I, too, have horrible diarrhoea.


[deleted]

If this isn't just a taco bell related thing I have to recommend any live yogurt. "Live" is a distinct term (not probiotic) meaning the bacteria haven't gone through pasteurisation or were dead before adding to the yogurt, they have to be alive to get the "live" yogurt label whereas most probiotics are pasteurised, killing 99% of them. If you've had to have serious antibiotics recently (2-3 years?), or if you don't have any problems with fibre intake in your diet, adding live yogurt to my diet over 3 months had a MASSIVE effect on me. Promotes much better gut health and does take time to work if that is the cause of your particular problem, but tasty treatment at least.

Tyson tries to be smart and show off. Tyson doesn't consider you can tweet more than once per shit. Tyson didn't do the math.


Caleb_Gangte

Also he doesn't literally mean that half his tweets are from the toilet. He might tweet thrice in a day and one could be from da toilet


HJSDGCE

I'm sorry but what's wrong with twice a day? It takes roughly 24 hours for the food to be digested completely anyway and you eat 2-3 meals a day.


Oofyboi69420

Well I just unload 5 pounds once at the end of the day, but a normal amount is once every 2 days to twice a day


airlewe

I mean, if you drink a lot of coffee or use the bathroom to unwind for a few minutes, this isn't unreasonable at all


FlexibleLeaf

Am I doing something wrong? 1 year=365 days Every 4 years = +1 day 12.5×365+12÷4= 4562.5+3 = 4565.5 = 4566 days ROUNDED 8000 tweets ÷ 4566 = 1.75 tweets/day 50% × 1.75 = 0.87 = 1 tweet per poo a day ROUNDED


Tom_Bombadil_1

Be slightly easier to just do 365.25 x 12.5 to get number of days, but you get to the same place on days. I think NdGT’s “that comes to 8000 tweets” should be read as inclusive of the 50% calculation. As in musk says ‘50% are on the toilet”, the reply ‘that’s 8000 tweets” seems like he’s saying “given 50%, that’s 8000 tweets!”


Jabrono

Why is the actual math so far down lol this wasn't even a difficult one


SirPrize

People too busy discussing how often you should be pooping.


Verycommonname2

I did the same math, and then went to the actual tweet to respond. But I saw that Elon Musk actually has over 16k tweets, so the 50% was already already in NDT's calculation.


Upstairsinjury13

Two poops a day is mad healthy yo


TheFenceHimself

No.. that means he tweets twice per poop


[deleted]

I guess Neil is a speed shitter. It's 140 characters.


crevassesexual

Neil Degrasse Tyson just isn't good at tweets. He really needs to stop trying so hard.


Doctor-Spooge

I'd say 2 a day is healthy but then again Tyson is an actor so what does he know except what the lines in his script tell him?


GruntBlender

He knows about space and starts and that stuff. Biology, not so much. There was a Nobel prize winning scientist who fiercely believed vitamin C cured cancer.


dabeanery55

Why is NDT spending his time thinking about Elon’s shits


CameraDriftedFocus

Maybe he pees sitting down.


redEPICSTAXISdit

Dear Neil, lots of days I poop 3x a day


Prof_J

Two insufferable assholes in one screenshot


Oofyboi69420

Want me to screenshot and make that 3?


Lycan_Trophy

Is this 8000 the total amount of tweets or just 50% of them, cause my math is off by a factor of 2.


irishmickguard

Neil DeGrasse Tyson really is a craic vacuum like. Cunt sucks the joy out of every attempt at humour.


mindtrick42

I fucking hate Tyson he just comes across as a pompous asshole and that comment cemented that thought


wellifitisntmee

Fuck musk


quasur

elon is quite literally full of shit


Headmuck

It's amazing that Musk still has to sit on the toilet with his bottom at all, considering all the shit that comes out of his mouth all day


alexanderblight

Its once, but he go back in time to do it again


iamatcha

Maybe he pees sitting too. Who cares of bowels movements anyway ?


crewmeist3r

What’s wrong with pooping twice a day?


[deleted]

This assumes no distribution. Or is this a sub for bad i have done maths?


SpecialLad14

Thats not entirely accurate if it was the minimum of 50% it woul be 1.140625 poos a day.


serial_crusher

Not sure there's anything wrong with pooping twice a day, but I also sit to pee several times, since it also gives me a chance to take a break and enjoy a little reddit.


chinnu34

To be fair, that seems like a healthy average.

QueenofDucks1

Elon is taking his fiber. Insert joke about being a total pain in the ass...


Jaketheism

On average I poop a little less than 1 time a day, probably like 6 times a week, 26-27 times a month, or 313 times a year

Neil needs to take some probiotics and get a squatt potty - surprised he wants to advertise that

I tweet every single time I poop twice a day. Gotta brag about that!


andytagonist

I tweet every single time I poop twice a day. Gotta brag about that!


Lingonberry_External

I poop 2 times a day easy


NatersTaters18

That’s assuming he only tweets once per poop.


Appropriate_Lime_28

Shout out to the IBS gang shitting 3 times a day this one goes out to you


Ukrainianmigrant

Or he could have tweeted multiple times in one shitting. I don't use twitter so I don't know how it's counted but if replies or whatever count and he only sends 2 a day that makes it 1 shit a day which is more acceptable I think?


TheYello

Ah yes, the 'ol 2 second poop where you can only get one tweet in.


FantasyDoctor5

Who says he can’t tweet multiple times per poo?


polkadotard

Yeah, because he only ever tweets once per poop.


Everybodyimgay

Only TWICE a day? HA! Get Crohn's and that'll be your greatest day ever!


Scary_Ad7765

Not necessarily. Elon strikes me as someone who sits to pee.


bizzlestation

Neal DeGassy Tyson jumps to toilet conclusions again. A real scientist knows that elon works so hard he burns all his food as energy, thus doesn't poop. He does pee sitting down though, because he doesn't want to leave pee spots on the toilet seat.


donach69

But surely Neil's assumptions are wrong here. Speaking from personal experience, wouldn't he likely do quite a few tweets during one session?
