Man fuck reddit and it's "advice" and fuck the anglo internet for gatekeeping actual answers to questions behind that nazi hellsite.
Been pooping today and my poop was black which had me worried. Normally it's never black unless I'm drinking. So in a panic I googled it and of course you get all the same looking medical sites that alert you that you have severe stomach bleeding and are going to die at any second.
So I do what everyone is forced to do, add "reddit" to the end of my search term, and what do you know? It's the same shit on reddit. Someone has black stool and some redditor called "fartboxpuncher" tells them they're dying.
You have to dig through like 60 something same replies until you find someone who actually did have black stool and who's partner is a nurse. They said wait it out 24 hours and see if it doesn't go away, or it might be something you're eating.
Sucks that people are forced to put up with the highest upvoted "answers" being copy pasted from medline2line247.online.biz and not from someone with like actual first-hand advice.
And that's not to even mention the AI results which probably would tell me I'm turning into a lizard and I should drink gasoline.
!Something hilarious when I tried to OD they had me drink charcoal. It actually didn't taste too bad. It soaks up all the substances in your system so they don't have to pump your stomach. What surprised me was when I took a shit and it looked like crushed charcoal dust in water. Didn't smell but I freaked the fuck out when I saw it before I remembered EMTs gave me a few charcoal shakes.!<
Was a fun experience for the most part, really felt refreshed. Just wish it didn't come with hospitalization and bad thoughts.
It fucking sucks how unusable the internet has become for that sort of thing. Reddit swept up all the old forums, monopolized that kind of community discussion-based information and then completely enshittified it. Maybe I shouldn't say "completely" because they're still in the process of making it worse.
I hope you were able to eventually find information that satisfied you, but in case you didn't already see this elsewhere, it's not color alone that should necessarily be cause for concern, it's also consistency (and by that I mean texture, not regularity). If it's black but normal shape and texture for you, like many others here have said, it's reasonably likely just a matter of something you ate (like the chips you mentioned). However, if the consistency is also abnormal for you, especially if it's really tarry (black tar) then that may warrant telling a med professional irl about it.
Not really related but I ate this pint of ice cream called chocolate galaxy or something all in one go that musta had a ton of black dye in it. I shit green for 4 days.
My now-wife was previously in an abusive relationship and asked on the relationshipadvice sub for, well, relationship advice about this and all the redditors told her it was in her head, her fault, she needs to learn to work with him, etc. So yeah fuck that website and everybody who frequents it.
I forget which subreddit it was, but I was talking about how I had finally made the decision to get out of an abusive relationship and break up with them. I was super anxious about it because I had been in the situation for over a year. Almost all the responses I got were saying I must have been the bad guy for being the one to break things off.
It could be from iron supplementation, if you recently took nutritional iron. Mostly these things are idiopathic. If you have a secondary symptom or it lasts, go to urgent care asap.
has layers of advice hell, and one of the deepest is /r/getmotivated. It's just a place for rage filled nerds to LARP as Tyler Durden while Tyler Durden is LARPing as a drill sergeant.
Used to use it for CTH and magic the gathering... I now almost exclusively use it for porn now... TMI I know but I think it's hilarious. I peruse the suggested subreddits and some are hella toxic... Like the rate me stuff. Perfectly fine looking men and women subjecting themselves to Internet brain worms and soured fee fees for karma... And the women get rated much harsher than the men, based off of things like weight and tattoos...
I missed out on both CTH and GenZedong era stuff actually. I was probably still a theory-less DemSoc pleb around the time all the drama happened. I mostly just skim my front page until my eyes can't roll anymore, delete a few subs that are now toxic or astroturfed, then go to either my current special interest or hop form hobby sub to hobby sub, then log off lol. Like, that's genuinely my browsing habit. But for the most part, right now it's mostly used for autism subs, web dev stuff, and X4
TMI I know but I think it's hilarious.
I've never seen any porn on reddit, like ever. Scout's honor.
It's actually funny because right now /r/itookapicture is seemingly imploding because it's become a dump spot for low effort quasi-porn nudes.
