The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Moisture/fat content of the fart.
How can a gas be fatty?
Hey everyone, get a load of "Never had a greasy fart" over here.
🤷🏾♀️💅
Taco Bell
So, behind your anus, there is your rectum, it's a chamber that is usually empty, only if the colon is too full or shortly before you defecate does it get filled with stool.
Normal farts are gas coming from your colon and filling your rectum like a balloon, when you fart all that pressure is released and because the rectum is usually empty, only gas escapes.
But when you do have stool in your rectum... for example because your colon is overflowing into it or because the consistency of your stool is too fluid to be held back from the rectum, then that depressurization will push out with it the other content of your ass, straight into your underpants.
This is btw. how anal-sex is usually cleaner than people imagine it to be, because the rectum is (usually) empty and (mostly) clean.
Still... wash your hands/dick/toy before touching anyone, anything or anywhere else. Generally be hygienic guys.
So when we get the feeling of needing to poop, is that the rectum filling up or something else?
Yes, the need to defecate is (mostly) governed by the rectal walls stretching.
Fun fact 1: On the ISS people get constipated a lot because without gravity the time-to-poop receptors don't get tickled enough and when they finally do it's too late for it to come out easily so again without the help of gravity they have to resort to rooting around in there to remove the dookie pebbles manually. There are gloves provided to astronauts for that specific purpose.
Fun fact 2: This act is much easier to perform for women because they can use the glove from the front. Also no prostate in the way.
Oof, I thought it was only constipated mathematicians that had to work it out with a pencil.
TIL
This is one of those things that must have been an absolute shit thing to discover the first time. Sure now we are ready and can prepare. But having to diagnose and improvise a solution would not be pleasant.
Sure now we are ready and can prepare.
Let me reiterate. They use rubber gloves to extract caca nuggets out of their own ass. I don't think the astronauts would consider this a solved problem 😅
absolute shit thing
Well, yeah, I think that's been established.
That why you need to bring your poop knife with you to space.
Never leave home without it
What about when its not like poop-poop but like the clear butt juice? (Sorry I don't know how to word this but this is a serious question)
I'm not a doctor, just a curious guy with an equally curious girlfriend and since we like to be informed we've read up on stuff. Also I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so I know a little bit about that. But if you have serious questions don't ask me, ask a medical professional.
Having said that, that clear, slimy butt-juice is called mucus, it's what's coating your colon and just a little bit of slimy mucus in your stool is normal.
Large amounts of clear(ish) stool could be something a doctor should look into.
Moisture?
MerMAN!
And lack of it.
A wet fart is a slightly more polite way to say shit yourself.
Basically if there is poo in your undies after a fart it was a wet day.
The swamp ass factor (saf) as well as the % forecast on diarrhea.
All farts are dry. If it's wet, it's known as a shart.
As in a shit you thought was a fart. Shart
Where a I live when we hear a fart like that we say "salió con caldito".
"It came with a little broth"?
I love it.
De donde eres?
Sonora 🦌
Where I live it's a "pet-sauce"
Poop
It's a delicate balance of semen content, obviously.
Shit. The answer is shit.
poop
Diet plays a role
Most people don’t get enough fiber, I put ground flax seed in yogurt and try to up my fruit intake.
Moisture
The accent of course!
Just kidding, it's poo-poo.
Wetness.
Distance from a toilet. Further you are away, the wetter it's likely to be tending towards diarrhoea.
Lack of a skidmark
Position of your hole and cheeks I imagine
