There was someone who asked how to prevent pooping for 3 days and wouldn't really say why. It was very important not to, even though facilities would be available. I do not recall all the details ... Don't know if it reached that, but there was a definite buzz about the communities for a while after and I still see a reference here n there.
On Lemmy these viral things consume the site for about 3ish days every few months, then fade into lore. The first one I was here for was when were were all obsessed with not pooping for 3 days. There were the beans. There was a longer one where almost every post on the site was some reference to Saddam Hussein's spider hole. There was a period where every upvoted post had to contain one or more black cats.
Don't forget the jeans. lol
We also had a pretty major phase about pondering orbs
Those were good times. I still think about it sometimes.
Right! I was away from things for a day and when I came back everything as wizards and orbs. I forgot.

Let this be a lesson to you.
All this and no mention of potash?
This is about viral shitposts. Potash is and always was; the alpha and the omega; the one truth.
There was also something recently about potash that I never looked into but was wondering what it's all about
I feel like potash was a Millhouse situation.
Potash is eternal, tis no meme ;)
You must not have been here for the beans
I wasn't 😪
What about the jeans?
No😔
Pondering the orb?
I almost laughed my intestines out😂
I was going to guess “music festival”, but
Clean toilets with all the expected facilities will be available to me.
kinda ruled that out [italics mine]. Music festival port-a-potties are pretty gross, and running water is nothing but a pleasant memory. I wonder how things went (or, more accurately, didn’t).
Thanks for the link!
The guy who used a thermal camera on his toilet water before and after pooping yesterday was pretty magical
The guy who wanted to not poop for 3 days.
How haven't i heard of this till now?
You shoulda joined us a year earlier.
I think some of the great ones people are mentioning here can be found on [email protected]
Edit: yeah there is an awesome index of the poop challenge + memes in this post: https://sopuli.xyz/post/915164
Edit 2: damnit the poop posts were deleted... But the memes are there
the shitposting on Reddit is almost entirely alt-right now
There was the "How can I hold my poop for three days" post. That one got pretty big
Idk go to reddit its still up somehow
There will never be another shitpost, on any platform, on the same level as the poop knife.
