you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

if you have any interesting climbing content please make forthwith

Posting and posting again might be discouraged but one thread and then another thread is ok.

Not like there is an abstract concept that could connect quantity across disparate substrates like that or anything.

Everest climbers will have to take their poop away with them, as Nepal tries to address growing waste problem

Oxygen? Check. Crampons? Check. Poop bags?… Check.

Those hoping to climb Everest this year will have to make some slight adjustments to their packing list, as new rules now mandate that climbers bring their excrement down with them from the world’s highest peak, in a bid to tackle pollution.

Most people who attempt to climb the 8,849-meter (29,032-foot) Mount Everest do so via Nepal, paying $11,000 apiece just for the climbing permit.

With gear, food, supplemental oxygen, Sherpa guides and more, it costs upward of $35,000 to take on the mountain.

But the world’s highest peak has a poop problem, driven by the number of visitors, and the harsh conditions on the mountain, which interfere with the degradation process.

“The problem of human waste on Everest was very bad,” Diwas Pokhrel, first vice president of Everest Summiteers Association, told CNN, adding that at the mountain’s highest points, it was “polluting the mountain environment.”

This photograph taken on May 31, 2021 shows mountaineers lined up as they climb a slope during their ascend to summit Mount Everest.

Without the new rules, the poo problem was highly likely to get worse: Last year, Nepal gave out a record 478 climbing permits to climb the peak. Twelve climbers were confirmed to have died on the mountain, while another five remain officially missing.

Jinesh Sindurakar of the Nepal Mountaineering Association told CNN that an estimated 1,200 people will be on Everest this season.

“Each person produces 250 grams (8.8 ounces) of excrement a day and they will spend 2 weeks on the higher camps for the summit push,” Sindurakar explained, adding that each climber will be given two poop bags, which can each be used six times.

The bags contain chemicals to solidify the human waste and make it odorless, Sindurakar said, and Nepal’s Khumbu Pasanglhamu Rural Municipality will issue some 8,000 bags this season.

I’m not buying 9 oz of poop in a day. Aren’t you eating a whole lot more than 9 oz of food if you’re doing something like climbing Mount Everest?

Your body is going to squeeze out every last bit of nutrition from food.

When I was eating a ton of absolute poo poo when thru hiking I would routinely have normal sized dumps that didn't seem to match the amount I was consuming. Also constipation

poop chat

most of your poop is water, like as much as 75%, and you absorb more water when you're dehydrated, making denser, dryer poops. The remaining 25% is insoluble fiber, dead (and live) bacteria, undigested fats (sometimes), and there can also be some amount of undigested protein, carbs, etc. but that varies a lot.

tl;dr a marked reduction in poop volume is likely mostly sucking more water out because you're in super dry air.

Your guts and other non-essential parts of your body also start to shutdown as you climb higher and higher meaning you'll poop less overall also.
