I was worried that lemmy wouldn't reach the pinnacle of quality to match reddit, and then this post came along to soothe those fears. Good luck on your no poop quest.

I was concerned of the amount of users not being enough to generate content, but so far I have been proven wrong. And the quality of the content is much better. At least for now.
enjoy your sex trip and I wish you happy bottoming! if you're not going to be doing too much physical labor during this time I recommend going full bottom mode: the week ahead of it start eating very lightly, initially a high fiber diet with added psyllium husk or metamucil. your body might be different but mine would say no dairy during this time. for the day before or even two, switch to a meatless and somewhat low fiber diet - ramen noodles is a classic, cookies, soup, other carbs. before you leave for the trip, clean out with an enema bulb (or store bought enemas if your ass is bougie or inexperienced). the combination of low fiber and low food throughput should keep you from having to poop and whatever poop is still in your tract will get largely removed by the enema.
while you're out at your fuck-tent, consume most of your calories from simple carbs as much as your body will handle so as to give your microbiome less to work with - applesauce is kinda nice, fruit snacks, white bread. eat like a twink!
remember to stay hydrated!! I know you're not trying to pee either but it's important to hydrate even if it means suffering whatever penalty your dom is giving you when you ask to be let out to pee
This guy kinks
while you're out at your fuck-tent
I'm dead holy shit π€£
In 10 years, people are going to say "I joined Lemmy before the 3 days without pooping post"
OP doesn't want his crush knowing that he poops. Simple as.
Are you by chance trapped in a submarine near the Titanic?

I came to Lemmy as a substitute for Reddit, and I'm impressed at how little time it took to reach the high-quality posts that Reddit was known for.
I've replied to quite a few people and I'm going to bed now.
I'll edit the posts with updates when my poopless journey ends. Either when the three-day poopless period is over (28th June) or when the whole thing is over (30 June/1 July).
Wish me luck.
This is the first post on lemmy I've bookmarked, congrats
OP, you misunderstand the "no shitposts on lemmy" guideline, that's not what it means
So you are going to wear some kind of pants that you canβt take off easily for 3 days. Maybe some kind of medieval armor, or a fursuit.
Gatorade has tons of calories because of the sugar, and it will leave nothing to poop out. It will give you the critical electrolytes (plants crave them) that youβre missing from food. Take a multivitamin too.
But it doesnβt have enough calories, and you need stuff to go in your stomach so you donβt suffer being empty on your temporary Gatorade diet. eat white bread. Your body metabolizes almost all of it, so thereβs almost nothing to poop out.
You will need to poop out all your poop before doing this, so good hydration and veggies beforehand will clean you out. No need for laxatives, just switch to your new and stupid diet 36 hours before you need to stop pooping.
Good luck on your medieval battle reΓ«nactment or orgy.
Taking bets:
- Participating in a competitive event where bathroom breaks are minimal or non-existent, such as a long-distance, multi-day gaming or eSports tournament.
- Attending a religious or spiritual retreat where fasting or avoiding certain bodily functions is part of the practices or rituals.
- Engaging in a survival challenge or a bet where the person has to limit food intake and avoid defecating for a certain period of time.
- Undergoing a specific medical procedure or test that requires limiting food intake and avoiding bowel movements for a few days.
- Participating in a scientific experiment or study where they have to control their diet and bowel movements.
- Partaking in a performance art piece or protest where he's limiting his bodily functions as part of the statement.
- Attending an event (like a music festival or convention) where bathroom facilities are notoriously unclean or inconvenient, and they want to avoid using them as much as possible.
- Embarking on a long journey where bathroom facilities may not be readily available or convenient, such as a cross-country road trip or sailing expedition.
- Participating in a reality TV show or film production where bathroom breaks are limited or inconvenient.
- Engaging in a personal challenge or self-imposed discipline practice related to endurance or minimalism.
Okay I'll give in a tiny bit only because this barely narrows it down: one of them is ridiculously close to what is actually the case. Like, I'm actually doing the thing you mentioned in the point, just your reasoning is wrong.
P.S.: The actual reasoning is borderline impossible for anyone to guess so just stop trying guys.
This is the kind of post we need around here :)
I suggest you do poop, your plan atm sounds cartoonishly stupid and likely to blow up in your face.
Do keep us posted though!
I don't know the answer, but now I can say I was here during the infamous 'Poop post' on Lemmy 10 years from now.
We finally got shitposting on Lemmy, lessfgo!
NASA has a paper on how to not poop for days. It's on the Internet. Before space toilets there was only a space bag with finger scissor/scoop holes. It didn't work, poop got everywhere. The paper goes into detail about fecal matter being everywhere after early multi-day missions.
So they figured it out. Their system works -- I've also had my own reasons.
- I am not going on a hiking trip or mailing myself anywhere.
Sure sounds like something someone who's going to mail himself somewhere would say.
This thread is going to haunt me. One day, years from now while lying in bed and slowly drifting off to sleep, I'll suddenly sit bolt upright and exclaim, "Why couldn't that dude poop!?"
first day on lemmy, and this is the shit i see right off the bat. I found my reddit replacement.
Happy i switched over to lemmy in time to whitness this
The transformation is complete we are officially better than reddit.
I love that this is the flagship viral post for the new popular Lemmy. At this point, OP's reason for not pooping is tertiary to the entertainment! Also, I'm pretty sure it's just social anxiety.
Your last three posts are a roller coaster in wondering "What's this guy up to?". Thanks for the laughs
so this is where Lemmys lore began
I have the solution because I too have been in this exact situation, but you can't eat much or you'll be extremely uncomfortable.
The day before you go, drink a full bottle of magnesium citrate. This will cause liquid diarrhea and completely empty you out. This is used before Colonoscopies to give the doctor a clear view.
Then for the next 3 days eat very little while taking 3 immodium each day.
You're welcome.
Dude the submersible's gone, there isn't gonna be another trip down there. Get your $250,000 back and do something meaningful with your life.
Update because I still get one or two comments in my inbox daily asking me about this thing.
Yes, I did succeed.
No, I'm not telling anyone what all of this was about.
I got constipated after the thing was over and made a post asking for help.
The promised picture of my porcelain throne:
Use anti diarrhea medication, for example Loperamide, it's available in every normal pharmacy (found it in France and Germany, no idea where you are). It will basically numb all your muscles in your gut and it will become impossible to poop.
For three days that should be fine, but you should reduce your food volume a bit.
This is unhealthy and stupid!!! But it works and is not crazy dangerous for your body.
P.S.:I guess you should just overcome your social fears and poop like a normal person.
This is unhealthy and stupid!!
So long as we're giving this kind of advice, I don't know why we're stopping at loperamide
OP, heroin and other psychotropic opioids do the exact same thing. They're much cheaper and more fun.
You could also superglue your anus shut. Fun imho but many will disagree
Jesus wtf lol, this is one of those posts that's going to become a copypasta
I have done two seven-day fasts and four three-day fasts. You'll want to prep with fasting practice and then watch your water intake to make sure you're not dehydrated.
I would pay $50 to know why the fuck you're doing this.
My guess: Airsoft or paintball MilSim (Military-Simulation) operation. OP is a sniper. There is an ambush. Long-shot: re-enactment of The killing of Osama Bin Laden. OP's crush is there. OP's butthole is sore, so they want a few days of no toilets to allow their bottom to heal.
If I had to guess, given the timing of this, he's probably on the Hajj. Around this time 1.5 million Muslims make a pilgrimage to fulfill one of the main tenants of the religion, to make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Makkah. This is tied to Eid that's coming in a few days.
Where I suspect this ties in is, one of the steps in this journey is to stay in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside of Makkah. The bathroom facilities are lacking at best, specially if you are used to clean western style sitting toilets. It's not uncommon for people to walk back to their hotels and take care of business and walk back to their tents. Depending on where the hotel is and where your tent is, this could be a half hour to an hour walk. Let's just say if someone is very particular about the throne and is situated far from the hotel, fasting and going without food to reduce poop frequency seems like a very attractive option.
In my experience, the bathrooms for the American and Canadian tents weren't too bad to use in a pinch. And I was blessed that my hotel was only a 15 mins walk, so my wife and I would walk over every morning, take a nice shower and freshen up and walk back (there is a recommended time requirement on how much of each day you can spend outside the boundary of the city). The food there was too tempting for me to go with the no poop route this brave soul is embarking on. (For context, they would have fresh squeezed juices, lamb and rice dishes as big as small cars, teas, coffees, and the sweets were amazing.... And it was all free!).

This is the content I was waiting for! Iβve read this while sitting on my throne ππππ©
Without context. This is such a hilarious situation, it's like, when a sitcom character whos role is to be the goof of the bunch, asks his friends this question and he's serious and frantic.
Nothing screams comedy quite like a man refusing to shit for three days.
