Am I supposed to be digging through my poop? Or are they obvious like the alien singing "Hello my baby" from Spaceballs?

You don’t just look back into the toilet bowl to admire your shit mountain, sticking above the waterline, and determine if it needs a poop knife before flushing?

I once did one the size of a cucumber.

I mean, I usually have a look in case there's blood or worms floating out or something lol

This is why the German toilet is useful

[u/Pi-ratten → u/N8CCRG]

do you think we germans have these toilets only for the exquisite odor distribution?

I was asked recentl, at a new patient GI appointment, if I had any mucus, blood, or other unusual findings in my stool. Asked about how my bowel movements looked. I told the nurse, I know you work in GI, but surely you know that 99.99999% of have no fucking idea what our bowl movements look like because no one looks at their shit.

Pretty much verbatim.

idk, i think most adults check the toilet before flushing. more than <1% anyway

[u/TJJ97 → u/reallynoladarling]

I do. Just a quick glance to make sure it’s not looking scary or anything.

[u/Themaskedbowtie353 → u/MohandasBlondie]

Nah its pretty common health knowledge to take a look to make sure nothing seems out of the ordinary

[u/thefuckevengoingonan → u/MohandasBlondie]
