not a nice topic Pande lol
That sounds plausible, and most likely lines up with the answer I had in mind. But do tell me, where does the iron comes from, before being added to a turd in a nice autumn brown color?
My topics aren't supposed to be nice, they exist to make it's viewers learn about the world in the grossest manner possible dev
About right.
The human digestive system is quite effective, finding some purpose for just about anything you eat, making a relative small amount of your food turn out to become mere poo. A turd consists for a great deal out of dead red blood cells, which have a fairly short lifespan within our bodies and need to be 'exiled' trough the backdoor ASAP since they are totally useless when dead. Which leads us to T.M.'s true bilirubin explanation: bloodcells contain a fair amount of iron, causing them to turn brown as they come in contact with the bilirubin in your intestine, giving that poo it's legendary look.

Very correct! Spices like garlic, pepper, and drinks like beer add the special odours to the crap. Meat is the worst one of them all, apparently a vegetarians poo and farts smell a whole less bad!
Sadly I'm a true predator, a day without meat is a day that just sucks!
