Makes sense. Tangentially, people always mention of spending time on the toilet, but I never could relate as its a max 2-3 minute activity for me, usually less. Only have enough time to read some Reddit posts. Maybe, as I get older, this will change.

Edit: I am vegetarian, probably has something to do with it.

In my personal experience it mostly has to do with how much fiber you get, whether you eat meat or not. Lots of meat and no fiber is not recommended.

This is why I stopped eating keto; I lost two stone really quickly but you pay for it when you're on the throne.

Low carb tortillas are absolutely packed with fiber (like 25-30 grams per burrito).

A little chewy, but you get used to it. And you definitely aren't short of fiber if you also have a salad that day

Gotta give the hemorrhoid doctors some work. Ideally you should finish your business rather fast, but I think a lot of people simply find a nice break on the toilet. Obviously food has an impact but if any type of *vore has long shits it’s probably because they aren’t getting enough fibre, another boon for the hemorrhoid doctors!

The reason I know a shit should take 30 seconds is because there is this Danish doctor who has spent like 30 years studying how we shit, and her name is Gert which is typically a male name. Anyway some years back she was on TV telling the nation how to shit, and it sort of went viral and now everyone above a certain age basically knows who Gert “who knows how to shit” is.

No shit.-

Actually lots

Have a go at it in the wilderness and you’ll realize really rather quickly how disconnected modern … durations have become.

But yeah, for some it’s definitely an escape. Particularly at work.
