At the end of the Smell-o-Vision ride. 10|10 awesome museum.

Is 1200 years long enough it would be sterile? Like, no original bacteria or parasites?
This is my bread and butter. Peat is anoxic. It’s great for preservation and you get tonnes of stuff that doesn’t preserve elsewhere. Google “Must Farm, UK” I’m an archaeologist that does environmental work in these kinds of environments. Peat preserves eyelashes on bog bodies, it’s nuts. Dissolves other stuff though due to the acids. I’ve got a diagram somewhere give me a bit.
Bog bodies are dope as hell.
Well the human gut is anoxic too, so that shouldn’t be a problem for the gut-bacteria in that log and in the bog mummies. I think it way more likely that the sphagnan and the other tannins in peat-bog-water conserved this as well as the bog bodies.
It’s the eggs you count for parasites. I do this for a living, my friend. I posted a diagram. Soft bodied insects don’t preserve well.
That is extremely cool and I don’t doubt your expertise in the slightest. Was only commenting about that anoxic conditions alone wouldn’t necessarily preserve the bog mummies, but that the acidic conditions and tannins are likely more important.
I wonder if the reason it was so well preserved is the viking was proud and wanted to show it off.
Elaaaaaiiiinnne! You have to come see the poopay!!!
That can’t be the record for the largest poop
I imagine it was probably larger before it was… Dried out.
Also, 8 inches by 2 inches is pretty fucking large. I say this as someone who has had 8 inches back there.
So like do you use ruler markings to measure that or do you just measure after taking it to the hilt?
Generally, you should use a cloth tape measure to measure dick. There are instructions online if you look.
Also, 8 inches to the hilt is often not pleasant, so work with your partner and learn how deep your sigmoid colon is, and take it slow. Big ol’ dick slamming into a wall is not fun unless you are very particularly into it.
New Olympic sport: Coprolite Extrusion.
I’m not kidding, I’ve seen it!
I feel like I’ve taken bigger poops than that.
If that is the record I need a shirt like that but it says “Women want me plumbers fear me” and a toilet instead of a fish.
This reminds me of the South Park episode about this
Hahaha that bottom line
I touched it during a primary school trip there.
Don’t forget the parasite infestation!
I don’t know who would pay thousands of dollars for an old shit, but I’m quite certain they ain’t my kind of people
Damn that shit is expensive!
Someone had fun on the Wikipedia article
The layers that covered the coprolite were moist and peaty.
I need more context regarding the poop viking’s illness

p. 39, parasitic infections. I actually have that report they reference (print book, it’s considered a staple text for doing insect work but it’s old). I’ll have to dig it out tomorrow.
I’ve shat bigger than that, and i didn’t go saving it for posteriorarity
Yeah that one pic with the nurse carrying the bed pan was like 4x this size
I’m trying to figure out if you regret this or are proud of it.
Yes
I wonder how many courics that is.
Hey Sharon!
the word “Coprolite” simply meaning fossilized dung.
I think I just found my new label for describing our ruling class.
We live in a coprocracy, run by coprolites.
Listen, at least coprolites are really useful for science.
Oh there’s plenty of good science I can think of!
How many coprolites can be cut in two by a single motion of a guillotine blade?
Does a coprolite puree make a viable fertilizer?
How do coprolites hold up against extremes in temperature, pressure, or acceleration? Exposure to acids, bases, enzymatics, radiation?
So much valuable data!
But was it as big as Klee Irwin’s description on his infamous TV infomercial for dual cleanse? I ask you…. I watched this infomercial in absolute awe and confusion once back in 2005/2006 eating lunch at home sick. I had to look this up again seeing this post.
Link to transcript description “I’ll never forget the first time I saw my four-year-old daughter’s bowel movement in the toilet. It literally scared me. She wasn’t more than 45 pounds, but her bowel movement was about as thick as my wrist and about as long as her arm. And I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I got scared. I was going to call my wife. I thought, ‘How could something that big come of something—a little child—that small. And I thought, I’m six feet tall and I weigh 190 pounds and by proportion to my size compared to hers my bowel movements were very inadequate to say the least.”

Did a shit
A bank grew out of it
Sounds about right
