This is the danger of going 3 days without pooping

This is more of a NoStupidQuestions post than a shower thought.

I agree but I am also genuinely impressed how many serious answers are here. When I read the post I was sure it was just a troll, but troll or not, there are so many people here to give good and based advice. It's just great. We should keep it!
