Because the undigested corn kernel husks are filled with poop.

TIL I'm corn because I'm full of shit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago

If that's true, I'm an entire cob.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Well, you're certainly not a logician

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (4 children)

But like why did they fill up all plump and not just be like a deflated balloon.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Farts blow open the empty kernels like a plastic bag in the wind, then the poop gets in them

Finally someone with a science based explanation

"Scoop some poop,.... for science!"

Most people dont chew more than 2-3 times so its kinda expected that stuff goes down unchewed

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I compulsively chew at least 11 times in a vain attempt to diminish my obesity. My lack of a sizable beer gut(versus most of my peers) shows promise, nevermind that I basically don't drink, but I assure you, the corn does not care.

Disclaimer, I have dysphagia, so this isn't meant to be the average person's experience, but... I was eating when I read this and counted how many times I chewed when I took a bite until I felt comfortable swallowing and it was 47. You're telling me normal people can chew as low as 2 times? Astounding.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I'm in the zero to ten camp for most foods, but right there with you at 47 for fatty meat of any kind. It feels disgusting in my mouth and to swallow it without gagging I need to basically cut it up with my incisors into smaller and smaller pieces until the texture disappears.

"Corn? When did I eats corn?"

[–] spankinspinach 11 points 5 months ago

This is the most alarming experience. Especially in the middle of winter when fewer things have corn readily included

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (2 children)

At least find an uncensored version. Jesus. So dumb.

Seems like an extreme reaction to a reasonable request

[–] [email protected] 50 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have a flair for the dramatic

Cornshells are tough AF and we're shit at chewing.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 5 months ago (2 children)

If you really want to discover something crazy, swallow some raisins whole.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do they come out as grapes

[–] [email protected] 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

God I hope they re-hydrate and come out plump and poo water filled

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Pop 'em right back in your mouth for a juicy treat!

[–] sangriaferret 7 points 5 months ago

I don't particularly care for raisins but I might have to go get some to satisfy my curiosity.

The T-1000 variant

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I'm allergic to corn, so I don't know if this is true, but if I pooped a food that was still whole I'd consider not eating it again.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago

The outside of the kernel is very fibrous, so when chewing it's less about breaking down the outside and more like popping the insides out of its skin. We need all kinds of fiber in our diets, so the outside of the corn kernels passing through is just fine.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What happens if you eat corn? Can you eat tortilla chips?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

you're supposed to chew 30 times, but who has time for that

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

You need my one neat trick.
