What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

My $ is that it’s been someone in the last 30 years who is a big eater with an opiate habit.
They suspected. They couldn't confirm it.
``Doesn't seem fair if you count diarrhea. All that water weight.
If so, it's probably someone with cholera

Pffffft...
Those are rookie numbers
I can do that in a year when my IBS is flaring up
Fisting with IBS, hey?
I thought cooking bacon naked was playing dangerous games.
Oh, I'm the fister rather than the fistee
I've given it a shot (I'm no hypocrite) but it didn't really excite me
I’ve never fisted or been fisted but the size of some of my Bad Dragon dildos prolly counts
They're surprisingly different experiences
Especially because I can change the shape of my hand once it's in
That’s fair! Dynamic shape is cool, but so are knots and flares!

You load 3.5 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in shit
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
My toilet over-flows on the company floor
Rookie numbers
OP is full of shit.
Mom look im finally above average
How many miles of feces? Are we talking to the scale of as long as the Panama canal, the length of New York, around the equator, or to the moon (and back)?
The average density of human feces is approximately 1.06 grams per milliliter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_feces
Normal stool (Type 4) typically has a diameter of about 1 to 2 cm http://d2xk4h2me8pjt2.cloudfront.net/webjc/attachments/73/57bbee4-bristol-stool-chart.pdf
Radius = 0.75 cm
Density = 1.06 g/cm³
Mass = 3,500,000 g
Volume = 3,500,000 / 1.06 = ~3,301,887 cm³
Cross-sectional area = π × 0.75² = ~1.767 cm²
Length = 3,301,887 / 1.767 = ~1,868,000 cm = 18,680 m = 18.7 km
So 18.7km or 11.6 miles

That would depend on the tightness of the anus
Are we talking about someone who squeezes out pencils, or a log-dropper?
Irrelevant. We roll them into ISO standard poo diameter after excretion
Those are rookie numbers!
3 and a half metric shit tons.
I feel like I'm trending in line to make at least like 6 metric tons of shit. 3.5 seems low.
I'm going for the high score
My uncle knocks that out every leap year. 3,5 tons ain’t shit.
Faeces Georg
Was an outlier and will not be included in this study.
How much cum?
Maybe you do; I produce far more feces by replying to comments on the internet

And a smidgeon or three of PFAS and plastics and heavy metals.
