Radioactive decay has always confused me. If it’s a principle rule of the universe that matter cannot be created or destroyed, then where’s the other half of the material go?it has to go somewhere or else it would be ignoring a fundamental law

It turns into funny juice (the subatomic particles or photons are flung out to go do stuff I'm not smart enough to explain further)

Fun fact, when you lose weight, it leaves your body as CO2 gas

Not necessarily. You can also saw your feet off and lose weight that way

Most fecal matter is mostly water, undigested food, and a small amount of dead red blood cells and bacteria. Your digestive system mostly gains matter as a net calculation.

wiki essentially agrees:

Fresh feces contains around 75% water and the remaining solid fraction is 84–93% organic solids along with some insoluble phosphate salts. These organic solids consist of: 25–54% bacterial biomass, 2–25% protein or nitrogenous matter, 25% carbohydrate or undigested plant matter and 2–15% fat.
