You may not remember this, for reasons described in the article, but Lemmy used to champion the 3-days-no-pooping lifestyle. Hopefully it's not too late for a full recovery.

I poop like 3x a day. I am very intelligent.

Isn't constipation being unable to poop, not not needing to poop though?

AttackBunny@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y

Yea, the thingy I use to scan for the title seems to malfunction with this article. Sorry 'bout that.
