On eating your own poop

2026-09-24

Would you rather cut your hand off with a hacksaw (but you are allowed to use local anesthetic) or have to eat a pound of poop a week (assume the poop is sterile and delivered to you through some instant poop deliver service [it’s still your poop though somehow])?

I would rather eat the poop.

I take my able body for granted. I can see I can hear I can walk I can talk I can think I can laugh I can smile I can frown I can cry I can eat I can run I can jump I can cook I can learn I can play sports I can listen to music.

Even just losing a hand would make it a lot harder to do (some of) these things. Give me the poop all day.
