Good luck Godspeed and no poop

[–] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Just try to make sure you don't eat a lot of any of these things. All well and good to choose the foods carefully but a gut full exclusively of food that is deliberately geared towards constipation is going to end very badly. Try to eat very little.

I will be following your journey with great interest. This should become Lemmy history. Also, I really wish you stay healthy, dude.

[–] LlamaLlama@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You should find their post about eating five gummy worms. This will indeed be an epic journey.

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

Man this is a wild ride already

[–] Kara@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My dude, when your mom said you could be anything she didn't mean constipated.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

But(t) then she'd be lying.

[–] PitzNR@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

Godspeed and may you succeed on your mysterious quest, poopless hero.

[–] klemptor@lemmy.ml 21 points 2 years ago (2 children)

After your 3 (hopefully poopless) days are over, will you pleeease tell us why? I hate the thought of never knowing.

[–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My best guess is some kind of festival. Three days with access to toilets, and who could blame them for wanting to avoid festival porta-potties?

[–] fosho@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

there are better solutions to dealing with festival toilets than avoiding pooping. my wife has built us our own portable solution that can even handle a shit. of course you have to immediately dispose of the bag if you do but it's a small price to pay for avoiding the public potties.

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't tell you why but I'll let y'all know how it went

Then he discovers he has lactose intolerance.

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been drinking one glass of milk almost every single day for 12 years 👍

[–] squaresinger@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lactose intolerance is not a binary thing like an allergy. Instead, every human is lactose intolerant at a certain level. Meaning, there is a certain level of how much lactose you can tolerate. If you go beyond that, you will suffer the consequences.

What people usually call lactose intolerance is actually a very low lactose tolerance. Even the most lactose intolerant person will be able to tolerate very small doses of lactose without issue. It's just that these doses might be much smaller than what an average person tolerates.

So you know that you tolerate one glass of milk's worth of lactose per day. Are you planning to eat more for these three days? Then you are without promise.

[–] other_world@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

I'm fine after two scoops of ice cream. If I want more, I better have that lactaid handy. Also different dairy products have different levels of lactose. Most hard cheeses have lower lactose count than soft cheese.

Lemmy moment

[–] FrickAndMortar@kbin.social 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don’t know why people are doing this, and at this point I’m afraid to ask!

But I’m here for the chaos - good luck, I guess? o7

[–] Sleo@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I had to guess, given the timing of this, he's probably on the Hajj. Around this time 1.5 million Muslims make a pilgrimage to fulfill one of the main tenants of the religion, to make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Makkah. This is tied to Eid that's coming in a few days.

Where I suspect this ties in is, one of the steps in this journey is to stay in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside of Makkah. The bathroom facilities are lacking at best, specially if you are used to clean western style sitting toilets. It's not uncommon for people to walk back to their hotels and take care of business and walk back to their tents. Depending on where the hotel is and where your tent is, this could be a half hour to an hour walk. Let's just say if someone is very particular about the throne and is situated far from the hotel, fasting and going without food to reduce poop frequency seems like a very attractive option.

In my experience, the bathrooms for the American and Canadian tents weren't too bad to use in a pinch. And I was blessed that my hotel was only a 15 mins walk, so my wife and I would walk over every morning, take a nice shower and freshen up and walk back (there is a recommended time requirement on how much of each day you can spend outside the boundary of the city). The food there was too tempting for me to go with the no poop route this brave soul is embarking on. (For context, they would have fresh squeezed juices, lamb and rice dishes as big as small cars, teas, coffees, and the sweets were amazing.... And it was all free!).

There was a post on asklemmy where someone asked how to go poopless for 3 days. No one knows why, but history has been made.

[–] Alfaspyke@iusearchlinux.fyi 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Not just someone, but the same op as in this thread. I would love to hear (maybe not? ) what this is all about after the fact. As op clear states they do not want to disclose this now.

[–] TWeaK@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OP is secretly in the Wagner group, he won't poop until he's in Moscow on Putin's chair.

[–] z3k3lon@lemmy.pt 6 points 2 years ago

That's the plan. Ingenious.

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

it's the same guy posting this

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago

It’s all about setting the right intention.

Every morning u go up to mirror.

U say “poop? No. I am bigger than that. Bigger than all poos”.

This will giv u the rectal stamina needed to stay strong. Strong like sphincter.

There is no poo. Loves n kisses.

[–] Peruvia@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

The fact that I am more invested of the aftermath of this rather than current events says it all. Be safe OP

[–] mizu6079@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks a lot! I hope i make it out without a single brick escaping my hole.

[–] riktor@kbin.social 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

may your sphincter be tight and your vision clear!

[–] muffedtrims@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

And on the third day God created the poop knife and he called it good

[–] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Legendary moment. :)

I bought a bulk pack of nerds rope on Amazon once and did this unintentionally

[–] smashboy@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Keep us updated, man

[–] rufus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

OP in a couple of days

[–] WookieMunster@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

How do you block users?

[–] JoeTheSane@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

Glad you’re okay, mizu!

[–] person@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

You got this!! I once made it through a three day festival without pooping. I mostly lived off warm beer and Jägermeister. #constipationnation
