Basically this.

Archimedes' Principle, for dummies:
>Shit lands in water
>Some water is displaced
>Water tries to go back
>Applies force to push shit back
>The displaced water has the same volume as the shit.
>The force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.

So, basically, if the shit is denser than the water, the force is too weak to prevent the shit from sinking, and it sinks. On the other hand, if the shit is less dense than the water, it will be forced to move towards the surface of the water (in other words, it floats).

The density of the shit probably depends mostly on your diet and on how well it's been digested, but I'm not exactly an expert on fecal buoyancy. Intuitively, it makes sense to say that "gassy" shit (floofy/full of bubbles/whatever) would be less dense (and thus float well), though. It's essentially how boats work, after all.

Fat, it makes shit less dense and flow. You're not digesting properly and should change your diet and contact a doctor

Toilet

>>8416060
it's called a commode, dumbass. The toilet is the room.

It seems life you shit on the floor.

I'm no ruminant, does veggie sludge float?

But this is /sci, you guys are supposed to know this shit.

If I may expand on this part, a diet high in fats which would cause one to shit out lipids (and of course lipids being hydrophobic) would contribute to buoyancy.

What makes me have extremely smelly black shits that wake me up in the middle of the night?

What's the science behind why ugly girls have stinky shit while hot girls have good smelling shit? The taste seems different too.

>>8416284

So blind people don't accidentally fuck ugly girls

Nice

fat content in the shit

>>8414781
Thank you for a legitimate laugh, anon

>>8414781
I didn't find this funny

>>8416137
I'm German and we call it "toilet" or "toilet bowl"

>>8414781
I found this moderately funny.

Theorem (/sci/-/fit/'s Ugly Smell Theorem):
"Ugly people smell bad"

Proof:
Let A and B be two individuals with equal base hotness. Now assume that A is uglier than B. By /fit/'s theorem,
[math]hotness = base + fitness[/math],
where fitness = gym*diet + hygiene .
Since the base is equal, A's ugliness must stem from a lack of fitness. Thus, A has poor hygiene, doesn't work out and eats crap (relative to B).

/sci/'s Law of Smells states that poor diet and poor hygiene will both cause people to smell bad, through flatulence and stank.

Combining these results shows that the ugly person will smell worse than an attractive one. QED.

But this only applies to equivalence classes of base hotness, not arbitrary compairsons.

Density of cellulose is 1.4.

>>8417066
If this was born out further experimentally, would it be renamed Smell's Law?

But what causes the shit to take the form of a long piece vs short ball-like pieces?

>>8414781
I don't get it.

I see what you did there

Why am I floating guys

>>8416267
Was it liquidy too?
The only time I had one like that, I was a bit sick and had taken one Tylenol above the recommended dosage. Not sure if it was related.
