We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime.
12 seconds to shit?
Not near enough time.
Either you learn how to shit in 12 seconds, or AI will take shitting away from you. Sorry, that analology got away from me at the end.
I wonder if they’ll try to get away with bathroom cameras using AI because it’s not a person watching you
Given my numbers, the median must be like 0.12 seconds. If your legs aren't asleep by the time you finish, did you even poop?

Tonight's news, Amazon limit on bathroom break for 12 seconds based on this study.
they don't have to wipe
They don't have doom to scroll
Why wipe? Shitting yourself is the new path to power in 2026.
The President does it, after all

I need more fiber in my diet :\
Be careful with that shit, it's powerful magic.
Nah, go hog wild on it. Eat an entire box of high fiber cereal and then go do naked jumping jacks.
Two to four words: sugarfree gummibears
There was a very unholy good review website about 15 years ago. The author had a lengthy and vivid description of their experiences after eating way too many of these. It was so disturbing, I never actually ate sugarfree gummies myself
Fiber regulates, sugar free... lets things free.

Don't you dare tell my boss that. Don't take my time away from me!!
I make a nickel Boss makes a dime I go poo poo On the company’s time
Is it longer if there is a dog staring at them the whole time?
My name is Constipation Georg and I live in a cave and take 12 hours to poop per day and I am an outlier and should not be counted in the averaged data
My name is Low Sleep Stress Coffee Cream Cheese Shit Hubert, and I live in a cave, and take 12 seconds to poop and 11 hours 59 minutes 48 seconds to wipe per working day and I am an outlier and should not be counted in the averaged data.
My name is Diarrhea Vaclav and i live in a cave. I eat nothing but haribo candles. I take half a second to poop but the next wave starts immediately so if i move from the toilet, i leave a slime trail. I spend 23 hours, 17 minutes a day pooping (the remaining 43 minutes are Vaclav's time) and don't know when it began or ended anymore. My only hope for relief is that i am counted as an outlier and released from the study.
Yogi is not your average bear.
i'm just putting this out there, if you take too long to poop the toilet alligator gonna eat you
Oh, shit!
I always told my teachers that I'm way above average but they never believed me....
VINDICATION!!

TIL I am an extreme outlier.
Pooping itself might take 12 seconds, but if you consider that you have to go to the toilet in the first place, wipe the lid clean, sit down, relax enough to actually be able to poop, then poop, wipe, wipe again, wipe again, then wash hands ... it takes more like 5-15 minutes depending on what you ate yesterday.
For me it takes upwards of an hour, because I think I'm done then 20 minutes later I'll have to go again for round 2. So I rather just sit and wait until it's all out rather than go running back to the toilet several times over. Yes I've already tried increasing my fiber intake.
Buddy ur gonna get hemorrhoids or a prolapsed anus watch ur time on the shitter </3
Have you tried decreasing your coffee intake?
Tell that to the dog named Oliver who lives with me...I swear that guy will take like 5 to 7 minutes some days...sheesh
Today I learned that I am well above average.
Tell that to Ron from Accounting
ITT: Commode users who forgot the rest of the world is used to squat toilets lol
12 seconds? I struggle to finish in 12 minutes.
Damn IBS.

I feel sorry for the person(s) that had to watch in order to know this.
Scientists get to choose what they study.
There are worse jobs in the world than watching wildlife poop
