    One figure I saw was that the average person produces “one ounce of poop for each 12 pounds of their body weight”, so the bigger you are, the more full of shit you are.

      Not really. Since you’re larger, your shit as a percentage of body weight doesn’t go up.

      Small people are just as full of shit as large people.

      I don’t buy it… maybe as an average

      I just started a cutting phase of dieting, 2k calories and I crap way less than when I’m doing a 3K bulk.

    Serious moment here: Due to the medical condition I’m dealing with, I have to weigh myself and record it at least three times a week and yeah, after I shit in the morning (which is basically right after I get up) I do it then. It’s also when my body is most empty, so I try to keep that condition consistent and wait until a little later if I need to.

    No, I don’t need this. I just use a regular bathroom scale. But this isn’t as utterly insane as it sounds.

      It is not very convenient though, cause you’d have to lift your feet off the ground and hold sit very still for a few seconds to get an accurate measurement. Putting your feet on the ground while sitting would mess up the measurement

    The people who can use this must not be able to reach the floor…

    I can’t even get my kitchen scale to read a consistent number when I pick up the thing I’m weighing and set it back down. The shifting weight here between seat and feet would kill any and all usefulness.

    Ooh! Maybe you are supposed to do a starfish before and after the dump! (Jazz hands optional)

    About damn time! Got tired of constantly weighing myself before and after on the bathroom scale.

    For some reason, I imagine this being used as part of a proof-of-work scheme for a cryptocurrency that rewards you for pooping.
