    Americans have NOT forgotten how to build and maintain toilets.

    Americans have forgotten how to shit.

    Quite frankly it blows my mind how often I see fairly young American men talk on the internet about shitting themselves regularly or semi-regularly. Not always with alcohol involved.

    I don’t think its always been like this and I’m afraid that perhaps there’s a bystander effect thing going on where nobody has told the Americans that they are normalizing something that is probably a symptom of a larger issue.

    Not to get all Freud about this but… arrested development perhaps?

      even with alcohol, that shit isn’t normal
      i have gotten drunk to the point of completely blacking out multiple times in my life and have never once regained consciousness having shit myself

    • I shit myself overnight once when i had food poisoning*

      *doctors had no idea why i was diarrheaing so much i had to have an IV due to dehydration so they kinda just went “eh.” And sent me home and told me to get electrolyte solution

      I also have frequent bowel issues in general so yeah
