💩 Why some feces float and others sink 💩 (635 views, 68 replies)

Scientists answer the burning questions of our time...


A team of researchers at the Mayo Clinic has solved the mystery of why some people find their bowel movements floating while others find theirs sinking to the bottom of the toilet bowl. In their paper published in the journal Scientific Reports, the group describes their accidental discovery of the answer.

Prior to the 1970s, scientists believed that fecal matter either sank or floated depending on the amount of fat it contained. Experiments showed that not to be the case. Instead, trials with healthy human subjects showed that the difference was due to the amount of gas in a given fecal sample. But the question still remained: Why does fecal matter from some people tend to have more gas, and hence, more buoyancy than that of others?

In this new effort, the researchers were studying the microbiome of several lab mice, and sterilized the guts of some of them as a way to isolate differences in digestion and overall health related to different bacteria. As the experiments proceeded, the researchers noticed that none of the fecal samples produced by the sterilized mice floated. In mice, normally half of samples are floaters.

I can almost imagine that scenario playing. You could make a movie out of it. Something like Creepshow, only called Turdshow.....

@CitizenD I'm wondering now if Buttless was unintentionally/intentionally involved? He writes that he "worked" in sewage for several years. smiley smiley smiley

@DontSpeak Just to clarify, I was in the Mediterranean sea in the south of France, not a cesspool and it was just as single turd, not a gang. Though it might have been sentient as it was definitely chasing me with intent. smiley

@💛Yellow_rose1💛 Hello Rose, I can't remember how or why I ended up sharing this on Anysubj and I'm not even sure it was relevant to the thread.. It was a brief account of what happened when I pissed on an electric fence. I should add, it was not intentional, but when men need to pee, we need a target. When outdoors, that's normally a tree or a fence or something similar. On this particular occasion, I chose a fence. It wasn't more than a second or two before the connection was made and the fence sent me a nasty shock. My cock shot back in like a snails eye, my balls disappeared up my arse and I dropped to my knees squeaking like a pig and rolled over clinging on to what was left of my d**k. I also briefly lost control and continued to peeing on myself at the same time.

It hurts like hell so please don't try this at home. smiley

@SimonM Holy Mary in heaven. I'm so glad you weren't injured more. I do hope there are not any lasting effects? That is the craziest story I've ever heard. When I was a small child the neighborhood bully through me into one, so I know how bad the charge is. My hands and arms went numb for sometime. I can sort of relate. However you have me beat by the hundreds for sure. Thanks for sharing by the way. smiley

It almost killed him.... 💀

But then he recovered. And now he is better than before.

@SimonM Since we are on superhero makeover mode, a superhero needs appropriate weapons befitting his name. And since your name is Dick Thunder........well, these are your options:

For the close encounters, we propose this:



And in case the color is a little ostentatious, we have an alternative, a more discreet version:



When you are up against multiple perpetrators and discretion is no longer required, we have selected this for you:



When distance is a prohibitive factor, this may come in handy:



And if things get really hairy, you might need the big boys to bail you out of trouble:

@Buttless I worked on a biogas project, producing methane from sewage and using it to generate power; we tried to stick to hi-tech and to avoid the raw material.
At a conference a slimy-looking political type introduced himself "Hi I'm (name) in (corporate function)" and as we shook hands I replied "Pleased to meet you I'm (name) and I'm in sewage". The look of 'yuk!' on his face was wonderful, he didn't speak to me again.

@Buttless The floaty poos are separated out in a fraction technically called 'scum' which produce good gas.
