Why Do We Poop? (Yes, We’re Going There)
Everybody does it, but why? In this hilariously factual episode of Explain It Like I’m 5, we break down the science of poop, from how your digestive system works to why it smells, what it’s made of, and what happens if you don’t go.
We’ll cover:
The full (and funny) journey from burrito to bathroom
What poop is actually made of (hint: it’s not just food waste)
How fiber, hydration, and diet affect your bathroom schedule
Weird and wonderful animal poop facts—like dung beetles, bird splats, and elephant soccer-ball dumps
The Bristol Stool Chart and what “perfect poop” really looks like
If you’ve ever been curious about the biology behind “going number two” (or just love a good mix of humor and science), this episode delivers the goods—pun intended.
🎧 New episodes every Monday and Wednesday: Perfect for curious minds, science fans, kids, and anyone who appreciates a little potty humor with their facts.
