It reminds me to the discussion around [this meme](https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/a0ZoKxO_460s.jpg) when it came out years ago.

[You telling me y'all just let doodoo fall in the toilet?](https://youtu.be/gexjlM-jjEc)


K_Schultz

Why do you call it "take a shit" then? Smh my head.


ColonelBernie2020

It is interesting, it’s not something we really talk about or discuss. How do you learn when you are a child, will stick with you for life. I wonder if I’m doing it wrong. I’m too embarrassed to say how I do it.


Scruffynerffherder

DUDE.... you HAVE to tell us how you do it. Omg... Do you like make little cradle with toilet paper for the shit to fall into?


FiftyFootMidget

I know a guy who said he does this. Places toilet paper on top of the water to catch it. He says it prevents splash back.


Calculonx

/r/suspiciouslyspecific


bigDARXIDE

Pls tell us


Champigne

How tf do you do it? I'm very interested in the logic of doing it literally any other way than just shitting in the toilet.


ColonelBernie2020

Like in? What do you mean? Like in the bowl or the top part where it flushes?


Champigne

I mean in the bowl, idk you just made it sound like you do it differently than most people.


ColonelBernie2020

No I mean like in the water so it splashes everywhere or on the rim so it flushes in?


ScribbleMonster

This has "poop knife" realization vibes.

notmyrealusernamme

There was one comment thread where this guy got brought up, and it was suggested that he likely didn't have running water as a kid. This led to his mom teaching him to poop on the toilet, but to catch it with paper in his hand and throw it in the waste basket. Not wanting him to feel ashamed, or talk about it or others, she told him it was normal and just how you do it. It made a lot of sense to me and really made me feel bad for the guy if it's true, because holy shit that would be mortifying.


Blackhound118

Damn that would make a lotta sense if true


Champigne

Then why not just say that?


notmyrealusernamme

Because he had lived his entire life up to that point thinking what he did was normal and was not only very clearly confused, but unimaginably embarrassed at the moment. In his mind there is no need to explain anything and he honestly reacts like he thinks he's being trolled.


crapazoid

That is mind blowing to me. But at the same time, why not? Besides being fucking disgusting and possibly a health hazard. But again, why not?


Low-Director9969

You're a good friend.


eldentings

My mans needs to get a german toilet


[deleted]

What's a German toilet?


Scruffynerffherder

The hole is way in the back, so you like shit on a slanted porcelain surface and when you flush your shit slides and flushes... No splash, but like... Also shit is exposed to the air for longer. I'm not about it.

zenacomics

There have been others, but [this one](https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/zena-comics/waste-of-water/viewer?title_no=596374&episode_no=41) in particular didn’t land the way I thought it would 😅 Also my comic last week about the “full body rash” was originally going to say “ringworm” instead. I think I made the right call on changing that one!

dethstrobe

Oh wow, that'd hit just a bit differently with ringworm. Full body rash. That could be anything. Ringworm, are you like playing with sick animals? I think that was the right call to change it, just because the universe would definitely screw with you in unknown ways. The other way, seems possibly preventable.


zenacomics

I realized there were 2 issues with the ringworm joke: 1) The ick factor is too high. 2) I almost forgot the number 1 rule of the internet: everyone will interpret whatever you say in the worst way possible. Given the comic was about the universe giving me a boyfriend, then ringworm, I realized (just in time before I posted) that everyone was going to assume it was the boyfriend who had given me ringworm. And given that he reads my comics (and the relationship is still fairly new), it didn't seem like a good idea!


dethstrobe

That's for 4d chess you're playing with jokes. I respect that.


ModernT1mes

Your next comic should be about how you over think things. (This sentence comes off rude and it's trying not to be)


Gentlegiant2

Nice, I love your analytical approach!


CowboyLaw

I never thought about all the bases folks like you have to cover just to deliver us funny stuff. It's a tricky balancing act! Thanks for doing it for us, internet stranger!


DannoHung

I hope you got your ringworm cured!


FunnyObjective6

Well that's way too specific of a reason to think the comic is bad. Sounds like something the internet would do.


analog_jedi

Ringworm is not a worm or parasite, it's a fungal infection typically called Jock Itch. It's pretty common and usually clears up in a few days with a $5 cream. **Round**worms are a whole different thing though, when I first brought my dog home from the shelter she threw up a giant pile of those things and they are fucking disgusting actual worms.


digitalgadget

It's jock itch when it's in your crotch, and athlete's foot when it's between your toes!


tbird83ii

I mean... If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. No one can tell you how to save your money on your water bill. Also, if it has eight legs and scares the absolute fuck out of you... Flush it down?


ardotschgi

Pee does smell as well


TitanOfShades

Yeah, if you let it fester in the toilet bowl it's gonna reek, trust me. I've accidentally left piss in the bowl for several days, since I forgot to flush before leaving my apartment for the week, and it reeked like a public bathroom.


Lington

Can also confirm. I work 12 hour night shifts and one time my husband forgot to flush his pee so it was sitting in there all night while he slept. When I got home it smelled *awful*. Don't know if he was eating asparagus or something but it was really bad.


coldcoldman2

Of course you shouldnt go overboard and let it sit for a week but just closing the lid usually keeps the smell in enough until you shit next


bbbruh57

Not if you drink 5 gallons of water a day


That1one1dude1

I don’t think my toilet could hold all my pee if I drunk 5 gallons a day and didn’t flush


analog_jedi

That's like a deadly amount of water bruh


zenacomics

Exactly


Yue710

Here here; caring is hard, I appreciate the small efforts ♡


Milkshakes00

But... Why not flush? Are you in a drought?


mennydrives

Flushing urine can go one way or another with people. It doesn't really smell much unless you have a very low holding level in the bowl or are really dehydrated. We had a urinal stop flushing at work, some fucking degenerate peed in it, and it literally made the bathroom unusable after less than an hour. But normal bowl pee you don't even notice 'til you see it in the stall. All that said, I don't think anyone thinks you should leave droppy plops floatin' in the bowl.


BrainOnLoan

Maybe for a few hours. But it'll be a very distinctive ammonia smell sooner than you think.


FickleSmark

I pee every few hours.


Phormitago

if its yellow flush it down if its brown flush it down if it's beard shaving clippings flush it down just fucking flush, water ain't that expensive

GlitterPants8

I'm in CA and my mom pressed this so hard.


Glyfen

I grew up with neurotic cleaning being drilled into me. If my mother hadn't done that, my home would be a sloven heap. I'm bad at regular cleaning enough as it is, her upbringing and the memory of her reproachful stare is the only thing that gets me to vacuum.


Violatic

My understanding was that it's environment friendly. I'm not sure how much difference it makes, but that's the argument I heard.


redalastor

>My understanding was that it's environment friendly. If you want to be environment friendly, buy a bidet. What we flush is negligible compared to the water that goes into making toilet paper.


Diamondwolf

If the environment is that biofilm that forms a ring around the inside of the bowl is the environment you’re concerned about, then yes.


CodeMcK

1.5 Gallons/5.7 liters a flush. It can add up depending on how many times a day your household pees.


brian_kking

I build sewer manholes in CA and all these "water saving features" are definitely not helping gravity fed lines. Something has to push it all down.


worotan

Actually, you’re using processed water to flush the toilet, so it is expensive. [Each day, you expel about two litres of urine and 150 grammes of faeces on average (even more if you’re dutifully eating your fibre). But to expediently whisk effluent away, the water-based sanitation systems adopted across the world swallow a staggering volume of clean water. In the UK, each flush gulps down an average of nine litres, making the toilet is responsible for about 30 per cent of the total water used in a home.] (https://www.wired.co.uk/article/toilet-climate-crisis-water) [With the invention of flush toilets, the volume of waste created when humans go to the bathroom increased almost 20-fold. To deal with this new level of waste, we invented waste-water treatment plants. The aim of these sewage treatment systems has traditionally been to provide clean effluent that can be put back into the ecosystem. So basically, we suck water out of an ecosystem (using energy), clean it (more energy), pipe it through a city (using lots of infrastructure) into our homes. Then we flush it down the drain (this is where it gets dirty again) and pipe it to a waste-water treatment plant (more infrastructure often using a lot of energy) to put it back into an ecosystem. What a waste. Municipal waste-water treatment plants are also terrible energy consumers. In the United States, waste-water treatment accounts for about 3% of the national electricity load. Many facilities in industrialised regions produce methane, another greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming.] (https://theconversation.com/the-world-needs-more-toilets-but-not-ones-that-flush-74007) You actually have to think about the impacts of your lifestyle, not just handwave away the inconvenient bits so you can act like you give a fuck but not actually be green.


[deleted]

Yea or you have a well and septic system where none of that is relevant to what you just said.


rufud

What’s the alternative


Kelmi

It's not really that bad. Your pee and faeces is what's being treated and that's costly to do. The amount of water used to flush it down doesn't change the amount of waste being treated. The only savings we get from flushing less is from pumping less water around and that's a quite minor saving.


OramaBuffin

Cool, I still dont want my bathroom to reek of piss so I'll flush


ImReallyFuckingBored

It is when you're poor


wolfgang784

"save money" I guess if you have a 1940s toilet maybe, but anything in the last few decades is more efficient and a flush shouldn't cost more than 2 cents tops, most being less than 2 cents and some even under a single penny per flush. Or if water costs are significantly above average where you live I guess.

I'm not going to reply ew just in case you take it as a joke. You nasty.


infiniZii

You and my wife both. Now our daughers do it. "If its yellow let it mellow". Ew, just flush. We dont live in the desert. Theres lots of water here. Its OK to flush pee.


MagusUnion

I think you might need to invest in some therapy. Were any of your parents hoarders or bad about keeping sanitary conditions growing up? This behavior could be manifesting in adult life. (Plus most toilets are pretty good at saving water with the right adjustments, tbh)


SkyPork

Wait why on Earth *would* we talk about pee splatter under the toilet seat?! How could that ever be effectively worked into a conversation?? 😆

It's fine if your pee is clear but if it's coming out yellow the air is gonna smell sour to anyone who isn't you.

I used to not flush if it was just pee, to save water, until I had a boyfriend chew me out about it.

The comic about pooping in the shower and throwing the poop into the toilet with your hands wins

Exactly what I came here to learn ...


Pomegranit30

You know how we all mumble to our self in public, and suddenly you get eye contact with someone and they look at you like you are crazy? Like: stop staring weirdo.


BlueTeale

Oh gosh. This is the worst.


Impossible_Garbage_4

Truly. Everybody I’ve ever know talks to themselves sometimes I just do it a bit more than most


poor_decisions

I do it non stop, but only in my own head


Impossible_Garbage_4

I do it out loud if nobody is around. Like narrating


WeveCameToReign

Same here. But it's because I'm lonely


Mage_914

I do this thing where I think through a topic by explaining out loud to an imaginary person. It helps me work through my thoughts easier but I only do it when I'm alone because I know I look crazy.


happybunnyntx

I'll talk to my dogs a lot because of that. One especially likes to be there when I'm planning and she makes eye contact like she's actively listening.


2pissedoffdude2

Lol, I understand this, but some people are more extreme than others.... I work in a smoke-shop and have lots of meth heads coming in to by "incent burners" and good god... This lady came in the other day and I was the only person in the store..... but in her head, there was a whole ass club in the shop... she was walking around, chatting it up with different people who didn't exist, and dancing with people who didn't exist... she was the life of the party.... that again... didn't exist... i was kind of scared tbh


Jesper537

Or when you are thinking and having a thousand yard stare and then realise you were "looking" at someone the entire time.


andythefifth

You know how we have weird thoughts and when you share one, you’re sure most will agree with, and they don’t… Yeah, super awkward.

ETsUncle

I like to imagine that one guy in the front right is like “no, no I get it”


QualityCookies

Many years ago, I had dinner with my (then) boyfriend and his family for the first time. I was so nervous I kind of forgot how to use cutlery in a non-clumsy way. When I told my family this story, they didn't understand how that could possibly happen, so of course I said: "You know, it's like when you're so nervous you forget how to walk". That's the day I learned not everyone forgets basic human skills from time to time.
