Padit, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Use anti diarrhea medication, for example Loperamide, it's available in every normal pharmacy (found it in France and Germany, no idea where you are). It will basically numb all your muscles in your gut and it will become impossible to poop.

For three days that should be fine, but you should reduce your food volume a bit.

This is unhealthy and stupid!!! But it works and is not crazy dangerous for your body.

P.S.:I guess you should just overcome your social fears and poop like a normal person.

Gabtraf,

Is there a healthy way to not shit for 3 days by force?

This is unhealthy and stupid!!

So long as we're giving this kind of advice, I don't know why we're stopping at loperamide

OP, heroin and other psychotropic opioids do the exact same thing. They're much cheaper and more fun.

You could also superglue your anus shut. Fun imho but many will disagree

mdwhite999,

I love the escalation in this comment

Yadaran,

My man went all in haha

If I had to guess, given the timing of this, he’s probably on the Hajj. Around this time 1.5 million Muslims make a pilgrimage to fulfill one of the main tenants of the religion, to make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Makkah. This is tied to Eid that’s coming in a few days.

Where I suspect this ties in is, one of the steps in this journey is to stay in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside of Makkah. The bathroom facilities are lacking at best, specially if you are used to clean western style sitting toilets. It’s not uncommon for people to walk back to their hotels and take care of business and walk back to their tents. Depending on where the hotel is and where your tent is, this could be a half hour to an hour walk. Let’s just say if someone is very particular about the throne and is situated far from the hotel, fasting and going without food to reduce poop frequency seems like a very attractive option.

In my experience, the bathrooms for the American and Canadian tents weren’t too bad to use in a pinch. And I was blessed that my hotel was only a 15 mins walk, so my wife and I would walk over every morning, take a nice shower and freshen up and walk back (there is a recommended time requirement on how much of each day you can spend outside the boundary of the city). The food there was too tempting for me to go with the no poop route this brave soul is embarking on. (For context, they would have fresh squeezed juices, lamb and rice dishes as big as small cars, teas, coffees, and the sweets were amazing… And it was all free!).

archomrade, in I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?

Curiosity aside:

Pooping happens when the body needs to eliminate undigested waste. Almost everything that is edible has some amount of indigestible material, but some has far less than others.

The other important factor is the stimulation of bile release. This usually happens in the presence of bitter foods: dark leafy greens, pickles and other fermented foods, ect. Fats are also known to stimulate bile release. Biles primary function actually is to break down fatty acids. Even if youve eaten mostly bio-available nutrients, if your gallbladder gets stimulated you could end up on the toilet anyway.

So if your goal is to avoid pooping for several days, your ideal diet will avoid fibrous and bitter fruits and vegetables, and avoid fatty foods.

If it were me, I would eat lean meats (chicken or venison), possibly dried into jerky, and simple fruits, or juiced vegetables and fruits. The less food you eat generally, the more you’ll avoid building up waste in your intestines.

Just a heads-up: if your succeed in your goal and don’t poop for several days, your first poop after can possibly be, erm, explosive. Your gallbladder will likely continue accumulating bile during your poop-fast, and the first thing you eat that stimulates it’s release may flood your small intestines. So plan your first meal carefully!

God speed.

nix,

This advice definitely fits OP’s specifications, but definitely worth stressing that if you only eat fruits and meats for a while you’re gonna have a BAD time when you do finally poop.

archomrade,

Yea, I mean generally I wouldn’t advise not pooping for 3 days, but who am I to question OP’s motivation 🤷‍♂️

uint8_t,

I would add to this a proper enema in the beginning to start from zero. that way 3 days are easy.

source: I was bedridden for over a week in a hospital. ate. did not poop.

LyingPenguin, in Why doesn't DuckDuckGo return any results for "PeerTube"?

You’re in Safe search: strict mode. It probably thinks it’s a term for porn and therefore blocks it completely. Set it to moderate or off and you’ll get results.

QuestionMark,

I tried turning it off completely. No changes.

Krusty, in How do we deal with similar communities on different Lemmy instances?
@Krusty@feddit.it avatar

It's a very good thing to avoid what happened on Reddit that a big istance is moderated by people that don't think democratically and rule against other people's will deleting posts and banning everyone they don't like.

With federation, you can choose the instances and communities you like the most, the ones with better moderation and so the kindest one will probably prevail :)

Blue,

This assumes that power doesn't corrupt and that the big "kind" communities don't eventually turn bad.

Krusty,
@Krusty@feddit.it avatar

That's exactly the point: if they become "bad", we can always move to another one with the same name but on another instance

I came here just to get a measure of how toxic the Lemmy community was going to be and I love that you didn’t disappoint. This is probably the most refreshing dispute I’ve read in a while. Even the most extreme on either side, are mostly speaking their opinions without directing hate at the others contributing to the conversation. Thank you for this!

@huiccewudu@lemmy.ca avatar

I have not focused extensively on clouds myself, but saved this YT video for later, which shows basic techniques to produce clouds using oil paint, but probably also applicable to acrylic paints as well: https://youtu.be/moq5H1eaIzA

Hope it’s helpful to you!

This is the weirdest fucking thing I’ve seen on the Internet in a long time.

goat, in Why doesn't DuckDuckGo return any results for "PeerTube"?

Appears for me.

Is Peertube banned iny our country? maybe you're typing in a URL?

UprisingVoltage,

Works for me too

Also remember that DDG is basically a private frontend to bing, just as much as Startpage is a frontend to google.

If bing has any problem with peertube in OP's country, DDG will have too

Rayspekt,

It is? Aw maan, I thought ddg is something independend. Now I might have to look for another search engine again.

parrot,

so is it actually recommended to use ddg or not, I thought they were the privacy flag bearer

UprisingVoltage,

Well, it's complicated and it really depends on you in the end. I'll try to explain.

DDG has good results in any language and they donate a lot of money to privacy-related initiatives. That's great and very few do this, BUT they also depend massively on bing: if bing censors something, you won't be able too see it in DDG. There have been a couple other controversies but they are pretty minor imo and almost every privacy-oriented company has those.

Brave search is great and has the best independent index among all private search engines, but it's 100% reliable only for English results and people usually either love or hate brave for its involvement in crypto and a couple of other minor controversies (people love to pick hills to die on)

Then there are meta-engines, who give you the best private results across the board (duh, they look for them on every search engine) but they don't really contribute to the scene like ddg (or even brave) does.

So yeah. DDG is not a bad choice by any means but everything has caveat. It's up to you to stay informed about the software you use to make a conscious choice

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9q3qPxrTqg this is a good overview

QuestionMark,

Can confirm this. I tried with bing. Same result. That was why it wasn’t working, because of bing. Thanks! I’ll probably to switch to something else now. https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/571b6c5a-5db7-409c-b284-a814ac615972.jpeg

QuestionMark,

I just tried it with a VPN and it worked. Turning it off and refreshing the resulted in no results again.

But I can open https://joinpeertube.org/ without a VPN. This confuses me.

goat,

See if bing does the same. DuckDuckGo mobile kinda sucks

QuestionMark,

It does! https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/571b6c5a-5db7-409c-b284-a814ac615972.jpeg So it’s probably because DDG uses bing.

DuckDuckGo clearly censors results based on IP.

webghost0101,

Duck has always felt like a shittier more cencored version of bing to me. I have no idea how people stand it.

No? Sorry for my ignorance, but I don't understand what this has to do with the question I asked. Do you mind to elaborate? I'm serious and I'm not trying to act like dickhead, so sorry if I have offended someone.

seriousslayerguy,

1337tux,
@1337tux@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I know that, but I don't get it how this is related to some people making fun of couple billionaires losing their lives in pretty horrible way. And again sorry if I offend someone

seriousslayerguy,

He was just making a reference about people laughing at dead people. Simple as that.
