Rule of Engineering

I mean the mathematician might be right here. A lot of bathroom scales are for measuring people-sized weights and a (granted, normal-sized) bowel movement would likely not be measured accurately on its own.

If we go with the engineer’s method for an accurate poo-only measurement, we’re going to need in involve a set of kitchen scales somewhere. This adds a further complication : does this person shit in the kitchen or do we bring the kitchen scales into the bathroom.

I may be thinking too much about this.

I bet if you didn't poop for three days the poo you take on the fourth day would be heavy enough to register on a typical bathroom scale. Anyone want to test this for science and report back?

Speaking of not pooping for three days, was there any follow up to that?

Not that I saw, unfortunately.

I fucking hate those that put that emoji in between every word. I have a stroke every time I try to read it.

This is very good. The problem is finding the person in my life to share this with that won't cause offence.

That's poor engineering, shitting on the scale won't change the weight, you need to shit off the scale
