My elementary school teacher told us once that Americans only poop once a week. The climate is colder in North America, so their intestines pack the poop together very densely such that they only need to poop once a week. She said you’d be sent to the doctor if you poop daily in America.

Is this true?

    The climate is colder in North America

    Compared to where, exactly? Mogadishu? Hammerfest? Because North America can be hotter and colder than both of those. Also not sure how it affects pooping.

      Bro, the one time I went to Mogadishu I was pooping left and right, several times a day.

      Someone gave me a funny look and there I went again, pooping like I was getting paid for it!!

      Yeah that bit alone shows that teacher lacks basic reasoning skills. Are we talking about Arizona or Alaska? C’mon.
