Once on Reddit I read of someone who grew up in a house where they had a poop knife as part of their standard toilet tool set.

This person once found themselves asking for a poop knife elsewhere, casually, like anyone would ask for toilet paper.

I think a commenter called it "the Mashitty" in the replies, which I found hilarious. That story and comment will forever be remembered.

Hell yea the poop knife. His family had one because their shits would block toilets. He thought it was a normal thing to require and have a poop knife but after going to a friend's house and asking for it, he discovered that it was indeed (Samuel L. Jackson voice) not a normal thing to possess.

Imagine how shithouse their diet must be to warrant the need for a poop knife ๐Ÿคฎ drink more clear fluids and up the fiber intake jeeze

Disagree- as someone coming from a family with similar abilities, this is more related to volume and personal flexibility. Just because it's extra large doesn't mean you have been constipated or not eating enough fibre, sheesh.

Seems more like a bad sewer system or toilet installed.

Jeez! Terrifying. Sounds like something from It's Always Sunny!

This one never struck me as real enough to be exciting. Felt too obviously made up.

It's a real thing in the sense that someone ran with the hype, but I don't think the original story was true, myself.
