Just for anyone who has this thought: your stool can have blood in it occasionally for trivial reasons, when you should be concerned is when your stool is pitch black, that means youre bleeding somewhere farther up your digestive tract and that is when it's a problem.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Unless it's black because you ingested Bismuth subsalicylate, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol. That will make poops black.
If you are consuming pepto you are relieved when you poop, regardless of the colour, if it is solid that is.
Or Pepto. It makes me shit tar 😂
Hence the phrase "if it's black, call your proctologist back."
Unless you drink a lot of Guinness 😂

It's always beets.
drinking a lot of green tea makes a poopy greeny.
that's how you know you have reached oneness with nature.
