"Well, it smells disgusting, feels mushy and gross, looks nasty, and I'm traumatized for life after hearing the portapotties at the burrito festival. OK, just one more sense to test....

Sounds like an unpleasant shower... I'm sorry

Humans have about 21 senses.

Pain and touch are 2 different ones, balance is an other, hunger, suffocation, gag reflex, temperature, ... it goes on and on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense

My favorite sense to describe is proprioception, being able to tell the position your body is in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

That’s the only one I ever remember except for temperature

Offensive to most people. MOST PEOPLE!

a while ago I was trying to find a funny story I read about someone taking a dump in a home depot display toilet, so I could read it to my friend. but I guess my search was too ambiguous and it lead me right to the "coprophilia" subreddit, directly to a post that included the most rancid story I've ever read. I won't repeat the details, but my friend and I decided to end our search there because we had enough "shit talk"

So is vomit, and I'd say that it's worse because shitting feels good while vomiting doesn't and hearing someone having a shit isn't as bad as hearing someone vomit.

Vomiting feels way better than needing to and not being able to though

The funniest fucking thing happened to me today. I was taking a good shit, and I was like fuck, I better check on it. I look to see how things are coming out, and a giant shit falls out. As soon as it hit the water it disappeared. The offensive part is that I still don't have any answers for the Spookie Dookie

Sound? I associate the sound with ppl; once it's out, it's pretty quiet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think association counts if the sounds associated with it are consistently repulsive. For example, the sound of flies swarming around a pile of crap.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Which reminds me:

Two flies sitting on piece of poo. One of them farts, says the other,

'Do you mind! I'm eating!'

What?

It feels great! At least, when coming of me. You don't like shitting? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

I love shitting. I just had a really big coffee and am preparing for first shit of my work shift.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Jokes on you, I’m into that shit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

If you take away the sight and smell, it probably feels alright.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Guarantee it would be a widely used substance if it wasn't for the smell... People would be making scriptures out of it and fixing up cracks in their homes. It would be considered innocent and fun, and some would alter their diets to get a particular consistency.

Incredibly gross to us, and probably still unhygienic. Maybe that's why it smells, to keep us away from it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

People will make scriptures out of any old shit, as long as it agrees with what they already believe.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

fixing up cracks in their homes

They used to although they generally used animal dung.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

If you take away sight and smell, you could probably get some cool synth/bass/rhythm type sounds out of it, too, if you sampled it.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

You've never dropped an impressively large deuce before, looked at it and gone "wow, all that was inside me?"

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"If my ass can open wide enough for that, surely a dick wouldn't hurt..." - Every dude at some point.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ive thought that about your dad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

I can play that part, yes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Horse shit is alright
