This is why I tell my gym bros that they should quit all that Celsius garbage and stick to the basics. You should measure your gut health by the quality of your feces (consistency, texture, colour, shape), and then your muscles and rest of your body will thank you. This research is evidence of that. The science is still catching up.

What do you mean by celcius garbage?

Fun fact: in Germany most toilets have a built in 'inspection plate' so you can look at your shit before you flush it. In other places I often found it hard to judge the quality because you can't even see it well or it gets flushed instantly

I meant Celsius, a popular energy drink in the US, but more generally that and the processed foods people take in for some supposed performance gains.
It’s gross sugar water. I accidentally bought some once and years later I found out people are intentionally drinking it.
It's not sugar, they use synthetic sweeteners. I started getting gout symptoms after picking up a Celsius habit, then quit that without making any other changes, and the symptoms went away.
You’re right. I misplaced sweet for sugar.

Yes. Overly sweetened with chemicals.

It's literally in the bowl you were just sitting in. I'm not sure where the inspection plate goes. Is this an AI saying this? Is the rest of the thread AIs? Is this all made up. What's happening!?

I thought learning about bidets was a new experience, now inspection plates?!

I thought I understood this part of my life.

scared and confused

It's just different shapes of toilets. There's a part without water directly under you, and then when you flush it's flooded.
Just do a quick search for German toilet and you'll see.
There are no AIs here, only gains.
I always wondered if the "inspection plate" was really for inspection or some side-effect of plumbing or something
One explanation I heard is “helps save water when flushing”
I assume they existed to prevent backsplash.
it also helps avoid Neptune's kiss
It is so wonderful to hear someone else say this. My spouse and friends think In so weird for emphasizing optimizing your diet for things that digest well, macro dense and give you good shits. I am quietly pleased when my own looks completely normal and uninteresting.
Celsius?
Corrected, thank you.
