You obviously weren’t here for the guy who didn’t want to poop for days. There were a LOT of replies on that one.
Like 6 good ones and a bunch of the same tired comments about poop knives, broken arms, same, this.
Here, at least most of the answers are real human beings trying to contribute to a conversation.
Reminds me of the scene in 300 when he asks how many warriors they brought. We brought real comments.

Legitimately who cares though? You‘re not in it for the money with Reddit either.
