The answer is no, but the other way round: If your regular poop stays inside long enough, it produces diarrhea again. Google paradoxical diarrhea. And don't try it at home.

Nurse here. I've wiped a cumulative mile or two of stranger ass crack, so... I know a thing or two about poop.
The answer is:
If everything's working normally, your bowels will reabsorb water until it becomes solid. They're really good at reabsorbing water.
If everything's working normally.
If you've got the Hershe's squirts, things are not working normally. So... you'll probably just shit your pants.
*snaps glove*
Now spread em.
I remember being told at one point, "you can hold your pee until your bladder bursts, but in the end, you will always shit your pants".
Yes if it's not the oily gross toxic diarrhea like you've been poisoned. If it's like, nerves or something causing your intestines to liquify, yes it'll reabsorb the liquid (and then your blood will be full of liquid that was just diarrhea, coursing through your eyeballs and tongue and brain).
Quick how do I unlearn a thing!
You don't have to unlearn it, nothing on the internet is real
Wait what?
Is that bad for you? Dis my liver just deal with it? Literally “full of shit”?!?!
This information is a lot of knowledge that I don’t know got to deal with
No, your body does stuff like this all the time. It's an osmotic process, if I remember right. Just water or mucous passing through the membrane of your intestines. Unless there's something seriously wrong with you, you're totally fine. I'd give a link, but I'm not searching Google for "poop reabsorption" with an ear infection right now. 🤢
I reckon you can taste it sometimes
Technically you always taste the contents of your bowels, you just aren't conscious of it.
Your digestive system has tastebuds all up and down it, just like your tongue. Unlike your tongue, they very thankfully aren't hooked into sensory processing parts of the brain. Instead, they are used to help determine everything’s good. If they detect something is off, bacteria byproducts, spoilage, etc, they cause the purges to happen (vomiting or diarrhea depending where in the digestive process it is, sometimes both!!)
But thats basically why you can sometimes feel very spicy food move through and burn along the way.
Upvoting so more people will suffer like I did.
Thanks, I hate it
Trick question, you shit your pants
Unfortunately the... let's call it an "orifice" is only capable of restraining so much pressure before a catastrophic system failure.
I mean, this is basically how loperamide works isn't it? It stops your bowels' peristaltic movement giving more time to absorb the excess liquid and belatedly coming out as regular poop.
Yes, if by "normal poop" you mean "firehouse of the most horrific liquid imaginable"
Yeah that's a pretty accurate representation of my normal shits tbh
Diamonds form under pressure, so yes
The reason for diaheraherhae is largely caused by some sort of enterotoxin (bacteria poop) or physically by a microorganism (I forget the name, but there is a bacteria that uses its flagella to create a sort of hill out of your intestinal tract so it has better access to nutrients) and your body is using all of it's water to flush it out. So you shouldn't, and if you did somehow you would eventually get sepsis i guess. Better to just spend a few days in a hospital shitting in a bucket and chugging electrolytes, it's what --
No. You can have the flying shits, then you clean up and think you're done, go walk back to the living room, only to realize you gotta go again, but next time is a 3 foot long solid log you wish you could have evacuated a month ago.
That was a glorious day! 💩
yeah that kind of constipation is awful
The longer you hold it in the worse it gets so good luck trying to hold it in.
Solid question.
With a painful explosive liquid answer.
I prefer using over the counter diarrhea medication, instead of trying to will my body into submission.
Let them cook.
No. It just becomes more horrible.
I'm sure nothing bad will happen when keeping dirty water in your intestines at a comfortable 37ºC for a day or so.
Off work late?
Runny shits but too tired to poop?
Hold in three colons full of shitwater.
No corks no tampons
just hold in three colons full of shitwater
and then just go to bed
you certainly will not regret holding in three colons full of shitwater.
(╬ಠ益ಠ)
I think about this more often than I should.
