PieFed chez MarudTIL you produce about three and a half metric tons of feces and 38 000 liters of urine during an average lifetime.

You're welcome.
someone, at some point, took the biggest dump in history. and didn't even know it
It was Bono's dad

My $ is that it’s been someone in the last 30 years who is a big eater with an opiate habit.
``Doesn't seem fair if you count diarrhea. All that water weight.
If so, it's probably someone with cholera
They suspected. They couldn't confirm it.
I am currently in process. Haven't stopped pooping for 17 years.
That's probably why the YMCA won't let you in.
You should see a doctor for that
The doctors made me this way I'm not sure what they're gonna do to help
Pffffft...
Those are rookie numbers
I can do that in a year when my IBS is flaring up
Fisting with IBS, hey?
I thought cooking bacon naked was playing dangerous games.
Oh, I'm the fister rather than the fistee
I've given it a shot (I'm no hypocrite) but it didn't really excite me
I’ve never fisted or been fisted but the size of some of my Bad Dragon dildos prolly counts
They're surprisingly different experiences
Especially because I can change the shape of my hand once it's in
That’s fair! Dynamic shape is cool, but so are knots and flares!
That escalated fist.
This is how I cook dangerously...
Click at your own risk!
Yo wtf. You warned me but I could not have anticipated that.
It's definitely a bit unconventional
On any other day it would have been the most disturbing thing I've seen all day.
Oh, I have much more extreme content than that...
Yep. Opened that and immediately exited it.
Oh, that's pretty tame compared to lots of my work
Brave of you to click though!
A real man would only use the power of their cock.
I'll work on it
You load 3.5 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in shit
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
My toilet over-flows on the company floor
Rookie numbers
OP is full of shit.
How many miles of feces? Are we talking to the scale of as long as the Panama canal, the length of New York, around the equator, or to the moon (and back)?
The average density of human feces is approximately 1.06 grams per milliliter
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_feces
Normal stool (Type 4) typically has a diameter of about 1 to 2 cm http://d2xk4h2me8pjt2.cloudfront.net/webjc/attachments/73/57bbee4-bristol-stool-chart.pdf
Radius = 0.75 cm
Density = 1.06 g/cm³
Mass = 3,500,000 g
Volume = 3,500,000 / 1.06 = ~3,301,887 cm³
Cross-sectional area = π × 0.75² = ~1.767 cm²
Length = 3,301,887 / 1.767 = ~1,868,000 cm = 18,680 m = 18.7 km
So 18.7km or 11.6 miles
Type 4 Bristol scale or are we talking some other stool types
It’s log scale.
That would depend on the tightness of the anus
Are we talking about someone who squeezes out pencils, or a log-dropper?
Irrelevant. We roll them into ISO standard poo diameter after excretion
Mom look im finally above average
Those are rookie numbers!
I need a visual
Of what, a metric shit-ton?
🤣
A metric half shit-ton.
3 and a half metric shit tons.
I'm going for the high score
I feel like I'm trending in line to make at least like 6 metric tons of shit. 3.5 seems low.
My uncle knocks that out every leap year.
3,5 tons ain’t shit.
How much cum?
And a smidgeon or three of PFAS and plastics and heavy metals.
Faeces Georg
Was an outlier and will not be included in this study.
Maybe you do; I produce far more feces by replying to comments on the internet
I am the one who shits. 😤
So, uh... where does it all wind up? Like all of our tons of shit---where are they stock piling it?
Well it should be going back on the crop land. The circle of life.
The ocean. Such a waste

"Rejuvenated" is a fancy way to say they dump it into the nearest water way (river, lake, ocean)
You're mostly drinking water that has, at some point, passed through a dinosaur!
https://what-if.xkcd.com/74/
Well theres good news and bad news.
Good news is that it's organic matter that can easily change form.
Double that for me.
Where does that all go?!?
38 liters sounded impossibly low, and then i saw the 3 zeros after the space
Well shit.

A corollary to that: we spend our entire lives moving shit from one place to another.
Works for both definitions.

Sandman slim taught me that you can shit on a tarp for a year, dry it in the sun, and all that shit will fit in a shoebox at the end of the year.
Nah, you're supposed to shit in a bottle and cover it with a balloon and leave it in the sun until the balloon is inflated and then inhale.
Not without additional steps, a shoebox for big boots or being malnurished.
For reference, a large normal shoebox can hold 10-11kg of water, which is about the same mass as a year of dried average and healthy expulsions(~29g per day). And without compressing it as it dries or other methods, the tarp-dried feces wont be as dense as water.
It should also be mentioned that there are people who produce over three times as much, simply because they eat a lot more.
Well Jimmy was talking about a northern CA hippie with a weed growing operation so yeah I'd say odds of being a vegan were pretty high. Would all that fiber make more or less shit?
People who say we need petro chemicals for modern agriculture need to understand this
The problem is that human feces carries a lot of human pathogens.
That's why you compost it before use. Its own heat kills those pathogens with time.
I think North Korea does this with less than optimal results.
In don't think North Korea does anything optimally lol
If everyone would be diligent to compost it correctly, it would work. You couldn't ensure that on a large scale.
If it was State run, of course you could.
You're probably right. I don't think the state would take it on, though. One mistake, and you have deadly consequences and people suing for justice.
You realize every other time it rains in NYC, they dump raw sewage into the ocean and there's an uptick in people who get sick (swimmers) as a result?
Almost every major city in the US has this problem.
So I must disagree. I don't think it would be worse than our current situation.
Also, we currently fertilize food crops with cow manure, which also carries pathogens. These pathogens could be also eliminated by composting too, but I don't think anyone does this. This is usually the cause of e-coli and salmonia outbreaks in the US.
What I'm proposing is safer than the status quo
That is, of course, the only way to coordinate anything.
So, what you're saying, is that they don't understand shit.
One could wonder why modern agriculture systems don't use free human waste
Because we don't care about the negative externalities of using fossil fuels.
Corporations don't care about harming people
No, you!
I'm on that low% speedrun
