My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.
Is this true?
Your teacher was either an idiot or fucking with you lol
What the fuck am I reading
Lol
Your teacher is a fuckin moron.
Chill lol
Its not that serious. She was a great teacher. Although a little weird.
I am chill.
Agreed. This one incident is not that serious but I do wonder what other stupid things she believes as fact and then passes along to her students.
She was a good person.
Maybe she just got this from somewhere and believed it. You cant call people morons for being ignorant. She wasnt a moron.
A teacher should verify such facts before passing them to students.
Kinda sounds like she was though.
I’ve often thought how silly, ignorant and undereducated one would need to be to believe that people from other countries are somehow completely physically different from you? Like WWI style propaganda. I understand uneducated farmers at the turn of the 19th century believing in things like that, because they don’t have any way to verify or look at anything from other countries.
You and your teacher both had the internet. And are actively on it.
You should know better.
Wow, so people are morons for being ignorant just because they have access to the internet.
Internet access makes no one smarter. She probably got it from somewhere and didnt bother to enquire more.
Not “just because”, that’s a strawman.
There are several things.
They’re a teacher. Who has access to the internet. What’s their excuse for not just being ignorant in a time and place where they don’t need to (laziness, lack of intellectual curiosity or being bad at their job?), but also confidently teaching that to others, and not only others, but specifically children in a school, a place where they’d expect to hear actually learned information and not some random ignorance?
Internet access makes no one smarter.
Yeah that’s about as true as “it’s so cold in America they only poop weekly”
Internet, when given to someone who’s curiosity has been fostered, does indeed make them smarter. And you can see the difference in educational performance from kids who lack internet access, and it’s consistently lower than kids from households with the internet.
She probably got it from somewhere and didnt bother to enquire more.
Yeah, exactly, a moron, that’s what we said…?
K
You’re defending her because you also believed it. It’s okay to be a moron
Im defending her because she was a person i knew for many years and i loved her. Maybe youre not the type of person who has feelings like that towards other people. If im right, seek a therapist.
I love plenty of morons. I don’t have a choice, since I’m American. You can love someone and also recognize that they’re a moron, and shouldn’t be telling students absurd unverified facts. You can do both
Moron means a stupid person. But she was not overall stupid. People are ignorant on some matters and smart on others. So calling her a moron is not right. She was very fluent in english. She was very good at it.
This is sorta funny cuz her favorite word to call her students was also morons.
Your teacher is either fucking with you or shouldn’t be allowed to teach.
Por que no los dos? 🤣
(We’ve all had crappy teachers).
Bowel movements vary by person. From 3 times a day down to once every 3 days. Less than once every 3 days is considered concerning medically, but not necessarily a problem.
Your teacher was the one full of shit.
Thank you. I feel like addressing the pure science of this is important. Not only do Americans poop, every cultures on the planet poops the same way (more or less). We are the same! Break down borders! Anarchy! Shit everywhere! No. Literally, visit an American truck stop. SHIT EVERYWHERE!
Your elementary school teacher should have been fired.
Are you still in elementary school? If not, you can’t possibly still believe this
If not, you can’t possibly still believe this
I did until now lol.
I’m busy with other things. I cant give much thought to how many times people in a foreign country poop.
Yet you posted this and didn’t stop to think about it?
No? Why would I? And what conclusion can I come to by thinking? Ive never been to NA anyways. Sometimes its ok to be ignorant of stuff
Ah ok you’re a troll. Got it.
literature.cafe
Checks out lol
Wdym? Isnt this a nice instance?
Is this ragebait?
You are rage baiting 😂
67% come on someone rate this to change the number
done
…it’s still displaying 67%
refresh
O now it’s 71
Thanks bro you’re a bro
What is?
upvote ratio
Ah, is this about that six seven shit?
Common misconception. They only poop when Trump tells them to. If they don’t wait til instructed ICE comes and shoots them.
Land of the free, ladies and gents.
Americans are trained from childhood to shit only once a week so it takes away less of their work time.
This starts in school where you need a signed permit to go shit, and continues in the work place where shitting during work hours can get you in trouble.
Shitting frequency is monitored through comically wide gaps in the bathroom stalls.
Once you see the pattern, it becomes obvious, doesn’t it?
I can’t say I agree with you, but I can absolutely see how the data can be interpreted that way, and I’m not sure you’re wrong, either.
Is this why so many Europeans treat us like some different species
Having worked in fentanyl crisis towns and then have the neighboring towns proudly proclaim how great America is and how much FREEDOM we have… Totally understandable how Europeans look at us.
Hell, I’ll never forget the look my european coworker gave me when I told them we have a two week parental leave and it’s a fire-at-will state.
Yeah but that’s us being oppressed, I would think it makes sense they find those things abhorrent. But not really the same thing
If an American had thought something as ridiculous as the OP about some other country (and genuinely no offense meant to the OP) they would get destroyed
You’re mixing up Americans with sloths, but I guess we’re not that different
The climate is colder in North America
Colder than where?
Only families that can’t afford a poop knife.
Tf is that
Old reddit reference.
What tf even is that?!!
What are you trying to say?
It’s talking about absurd things people will say about other countries. The statement the teacher made was absurd, with zero grounds for evidence.
When I grew up in North Korea I ate rats to survive, but eating is illegal so the police came. But the police also tries to survive so they take the rats. I thought this was normal until I read your posts. Now I know that true freedom is the class inequality of pooping once a week.
American here, I’ve shit three times today alone
That’s sad. I always try to shit with someone. Sometimes you just need to be held.
I’m here for you

Thank you for your service!
