I never realized the post was making a joke about the OceanGate sub until just now reading another thread.
At the time, June 2023, they were searching for the missing sub and thought they could have 3 days to survive. So OP was probably making a dark humor joke about how to avoid shitting in the sub.
But they were so vague that it had everyone - myself included - speculating on why someone wouldn’t want to shit for that long.
Oh sorry, you may not know. By “they” I mean the guy who posted about needing to not poop for 3 days. There was a post a few years back where a guy asked for advice on not pooping for a few days and he would not tell anybody why he needed to not poop.
As for conviction the greentext makes it clear this is not a comfortable situation. Anyone wanting to do this in order to not poop, for whatever reason, would know what comes for them if they follow this method
Oh so the “don’t poop for three days” guy from two years back just needed a few fiber bars and strong conviction
Why is it good to not shit for 3 days?
The original post seems to be gone, but you can read about it in this cross post: https://lemmy.world/post/455290
They never told us so we’ll never know

Why would you need a strong conviction to keep your bodily function at bay for no positive effect?
And why do you talk in third person about yourself?
