Weight of a shit.

Today is weigh day.

Always do it first thing.

Hadn't managed a morning dump first though, however within a couple of minutes, nature took its course.

Scales are only down to 0.1 kg, and it wasn't the most comprehensive of dumps, but my weight decreased by around 200g.

This rough, scientific research has ascertained that the average dump weighs approximately half a pound.

Perhaps a bit more.

Anyone else undertaken similar, and what were your findings?

Thought it might have been more.

I always weigh myself before and after

I don't take notes, but I'll make a point of replying to this thread next time I do

if it's a big one will also take pics

That's only your average dump :)

I reckon, and I'll also start to log them (yep, log) - I do think that the more liquidy ones weigh considerably less than the stodgy ones that are more akin to King-Kongs thumb though

Impossible to give you a scientific answer without knowing the consistency using the Bristol Stool Chart.

One sitting can have a range on that Bristol scale. 

Lost nearly 1lb once, required 2 mercy flushes..

A real man never flushes more than once

He's not paying for the plumber, not worried about a floater, I'm worried about the monster shit that blocks the system up.

I did say it wasn't a strong study 😁

Fuck knows what tomorrow will bring.

If these storms kick off big style, and the roof lands in the street, no doubt the shit will weigh several pounds.

According to my AI - the average weight of human shit produced per day is 1,200,000 metric tons. Or the weight of 120 Eiffel Towers 😅

Into the sea at Tankerton if you live down here.

How much is produced by all those that spout shite at any given time?

Is this in addition to the above, or instead of?

I did an 20 inch curler once.... the clerk of works measured it... the level on the Elsan was well up as nobody wanted to empty it.

I'd just had a night on the Fullers and a big breakfast... I had to cup my bollocks to stop them dropping into the surface of the bog and as I squeezed it out gravity had no effect... hence a continuous homogenous turd... walked into the site agent's office later on and there was an investigation on to find the "phantom shitter"

I ws proud to admit to the deed.

How did he measure a submerged turd?

More importantly why? :)

About 60 Eiffel Towers worth comes directly from this forum! 😁

Correct.

Diet related. Eat the right things and it's a donkey load 😉

The good old privatised water companies.

Now that is something we should be up in arms about.

Surely it doesn't matter though 

A pound of type one weighs the same as a pound of type 7 and everything in between

I know what you're saying. I just always imagined rabbit tods weighed more because of how dense they are?

I do 4 or 5 a day. At least 2 type 3 on that scale. No wonder I’m only 10 stone 😀

There are clear discussions to be had there, but it wasn't as if pollution never happened when they were publicly owned bodies.

Not seen many stats comparing services, but the one I did see, said the percentage of leaks (a strange metric) was around 3% less since privatisation.

Dunno exactly what the meant, but a stat nonetheless. 

Hardly a ringing endorsement of either system, given they were both in the 30s.

Frequent dumps were my normal, but since I started watching my weight, and started eating home made muesli etc, my motions have decreased in frequency!

 

On original topic you missed the vital part of equation of how much piss was expelled. 
 

I could explain where it goes but suffice to say there is nothing like the amount of raw sewage making it to the sea than was the case 30 years ago. Water authorities shouldn’t have been privatised but to say things are worse is nonsense.
