Clearly not the cancer havers.
Which is clearly why they get cancer.

For normies does it work?

Also, if you're grabbing the correct waist and leg size, I imagine it's in the right realm.

There's some Viking museum that has a fossilized turd left by a Viking that's 7.8" long.

Who is taking their kids to see that?

Also, Randy's Marsh's turd accomplishments far overshadow this one.

My constipated kid has dropped deuces much larger than that.

I guess so many men claim the same thing that Guinness won't even listen to them any more. They want to say the viking one is biggest.

That's amateur hour. :)

I've definitely pooped larger than that, maybe over a foot. Felt so good to get it out.

Ha! I think we all believe we've got this beat.

One of my wife's friends, a woman, once dropped a deuce so large it apparently touched the seat or got near it. I think it was more long than thick. There may have been a photo taken. I did not see it, but have heard the legend. But yeah, 7.8" seems easily beatable.

While we're on fecal matter, did you know that men produce more gas (farts), but women's stink worse. It's chemistry and factual.

So, feel free to tease your ladies about this one.

I'm laughing. I think we've all had those days.

In our previous house, we usually had the windows open. One night my wife woke up and said, "I think there's a skunk outside." I replied, "Nope, that's me, I'm having some stomach issues." She giggled herself back to sleep and still brings that story up.

Lol.

What's funny is how much more acutely my wife smells things than I do. Like I make a bad one and I'm like "Oh, that's bad"... my wife will shriek like she's dying.

We're reverse. I've got the good sniffer. My girls are strictly forbidden from bringing chemicals (they call them lotions and perfumes) into my car. That shit gives me a headache and immediately gets me into a mood.

Watched a health science curiosity video last night. There is a dude living on disability somewhere in the U.S. (it looked like Oregon or Washington) who suffered a spinal cord injury. He cannot work, and if I heard right, is not allowed to drive. The video showed him out playing frolf with friends, no wheelchair, limp, crutches, or any other obvious handicap.

Then while walking down a fairway, he dropped to the ground. His medical condition from his SCI is that he now suffers from uncontrollable orgasms. He has no control or warning and it happens multiple times a day.

I'm not sure there's a better example of the "everything in moderation" rule than that.

Sure, this over cancer, but truly this would get old really fast.

We had a bad smell in the house yesterday. My wife's nose was so sensitive she couldn't tell where it was coming from, just overwhelmed. My much less sensitive nose was able to figure out it was our clothes washer. ran a cleaning cycle overnight, and now it's fine.

Your wife and I have similar sniffers.

I'm also the one with excellent hearing, probably due to my large ears. :D Anyway, I can easily get overwhelmed in loud public spaces. It's not something that "cripples" me, but it makes it harder to focus and to hear one specific thing.

I was picturing the poor bastard at the zoo. Imagine looking at the gorillas, with someone's kids near you and you start orgasming. Good luck explaining your medical condition to the parents and staff.

Although, if I owned a restaurant in this guy's town, I'd tell him he eats free to get him in there.


Man, what happened to you Meg. You were so perfect. Her plastic surgeon should be imprisoned.

Today on X, I saw a compilation of people farting or spraying fart spray into inflatable costumes.

I had no idea this prank would have me crying I was laughing so much.

Shared the link, but will it work?

Last night as I was bored out of my fucking mind in this hotel room (I'm in SC), I was watching some very well put together breakdowns of famous tornados.

I learned that there is a big debate going on in the weather community over the Fujita scale, and how to properly measure tornados.

Did you know the last F5 was years ago and many say that because the standards are so messed up, we'll likely never seen another one despite wind speeds absolutely measuring in the correct range?

Turns out that the current measurement system has to do with damage, and there's a lot of problems with it.

Here's a very good and interesting breakdown of the debate:

They mention that in the movie "Twister," how the F-scale depends on the damage. Even then it occurred to me, "Yeah but construction techniques and codes get better, so damage will be less over time."

So.

Gets very quiet and solemn at the mention of the F5, as per Twister.

It's the finger of God.

They never get into the specifics of how ridiculous the measurements can get, which is insane considering the miracles that always occur with weather. My house is gone, but the neighbor's is untouched. In that example, the wind speeds could be 400MPH, but it still wouldn't be an F5...

If you live in a city in Oklahoma, you can expect to get hit by a tornado every thousand years. Make it a strong tornado and the time goes to several thousand years.

However, if you live in Moore, OK, the times are 5.6 years and 27 years.

Interesting video discussing their tornado history below
