TIL: a 28-year-old woman went 45 days without pooping in 2013

Next time you’re reaching for the laxatives spare a thought for those with extreme constipation which can cause serious medical damage.

It's the 10 years anniversary of her poop 🥳🎉

Ohhh maybe the guy trying not to poop for 3 days is just paying homage to her

You can take a man out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of a man.

Using the poop knife for an off label use is actually a fairly efficient way of removing reddit and any number of website-related knowledge from your average unsuspecting man or woman.

I have this anti nausea medication I take sometimes that gives me major constipation (zofran) and even like 4-5 days fucking sucks. Can't imagine 45, I would die

Yeah, I've solved the no-poop riddle too: scoop 4 or 5 heaping spoonfuls of cream of wheat into your mouth and swallow with water.

I couldn't eat/poop for over a week. I just drank juice/milk for sustenance, and gently massaged my guts every day until things started slowly working again. I thought I was going to die/have surgery. Weirdest thing was that I never got hungry. Technically, getting full quickly was my goal, so massive success!

I know we've all been looking forward to Lemmy finding its own identity. But did it HAVE to be poop?
