If you have irritable bowel syndrome, it's basically hard to treat, very common, and solved by a simple thing: availability of public restrooms.
It's not a shame to feel the sudden urge to take a shit. What's a shame is blaming people for feeling the urge.
> There is no world in which a healthy person must shit on the street.
Healthy people are not the only ones a city must be designed for. From Wikipedia: "About 10–15% of people in the developed world are believed to be affected by IBS."
And note IBS is not the only reason to feel the sudden urge to take a dump.

- nerdchum 3y agoAround 30% of people experience a strong laxative effect from coffee. It's actually really healthy as it keeps your digestive system and colon cleansed. It's only an issue if there's no public restrooms. I hope you learned something today. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2338272/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2338272/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2015/08/10/why-does-coffee-make-you-poop/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2...

- nerdchum 3y agoIf actual an scientific white paper from PubMed with research and data does not convince you that coffee has a strong laxative effect on around 30% of people, then there's not much else to say. There's still people who believe the world is flat despite all evidence to the contrary. It's very difficult to have a discussion with someone who prefers their own opinions over science.

- nerdchum 3y agoOver half the population of the world shits in the street. It's not a medical symptom. It's a symptom of poor access to restrooms. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-27775327.amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-ind...

- nerdchum 3y agoIts sad that so many people have flagged your opinions because they're so bad. This whole comment chain is just a bunch of dead posts of yours. I even vouched for you on all of them but numerous people kept flagging them. You should really look into taking a class on improving reasoning skills.
