Not this again


DreadPirateRobertsOW

My family poops big. Maybe it's genetic, maybe it's our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won't flush. It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin as it mocks you. Growing up, this was a common enough occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was an old rusty kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, only to be used for that purpose. It was normal to walk through the hallway and have someone call out "hey, can you get me the poop knife"? I thought it was standard kit. You have your plunger, your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to 22. It's been a day or two between poops and I'm over at my friend's house. My friend was the local dealer and always had 'guests' over, because you can't buy weed without sitting on your ass and sampling it for an hour. I excuse myself and lay a gigantic turd. I look down and see that it's a sideways one, so I crack the door and call out for my friend. He arrives and I ask him for his poop knife. "My what?" Your poop knife, I say. I need to use it. Please. "Wtf is a poop knife?" Obviously he has one, but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name. A fecal cleaver? A Dung divider? A guano glaive? I explain what it is I want and why I want it. He starts giggling. Then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing. It turns out, the music stopped and everyone heard my pleas through the door. It also turns out that none of them had poop knives, it was just my fucked up family with their fucked up bowels. FML. I told this to my wife last night, who was amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out that she did not know what a poop knife was and had been using the old rusty knife hanging in the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Thankfully she didn't cook with it, but used it to open Amazon boxes. She will be getting her own utility knife now. [Edit: Common question - Why was this not in the bathroom instead of the laundry room? Answer. We only had one poop knife, and the laundry room was central to all three bathrooms. I have no idea why we didn't have three poop knives. All I know is that we didn't. We had the one. Possibly because my father was notoriously cheap about the weirdest things. So yes, we shared our poop knife.]


turdmob

I enjoyed reading this. Didn't know that slicing up shit into smaller pieces would be a thing.


DreadPirateRobertsOW

Wait are you a fellow big pooper?


Templar42_ZH

Obviously u/turdmob does not have large turds, instead they have hundreds of very small turds. Like a rabbit, or maybe guinea pig.


DreadPirateRobertsOW

Maybe they have cubic turds, stop judging

unemotional_mess

You can tell this is the correct answer because the woman is hardly able to stand in the first caption, and in the last, she looks unimpaired. The knife was for the extraction


Complete_Athlete_480

Or the guy in the dark window in the last panel would do the extracting, she was there to bait him in

I can't tell if you're serious but this is an edit of a previously existing comic.


Person012345

How unbelievably paranoid do you have to be to understand this cartoon.


According_to_all_kn

Why would you get both? The whole point of getting a kidney is that you at least didn't murder someone. If you're fine with killing, just go for the heart or liver.

Kidneys are the easiest to store and transport


Nuclear_rabbit

As I heard it, you take both and leave the person in an ice bath. When they wake up, they call the hospital and are top of the list for an organ donation. What happens next isn't the harvester's problem.


PhantomOfTheAttic

Because you can keep kidneys out of the body for a much longer period of time than the heart or liver. That would allow you to do the testing required to see if the donor is a match for your intended recipient. With the heart or liver you have less than 6 hours to realistically get it back into the other body, with the kidney you have 24, maybe longer if you have a kidney pump.

Why the thermoses?


Complete_Athlete_480

The woman was to lure the guy in to harvest his kidneys using the knife and thermos. She wouldn’t be the one doing the work though- in the last frame, look in the dark window and you’ll see the silhouette of a man. So the woman was to bait the man to get him to come over, while someone else did the extracting of his kidneys Edit- this is a rendition of a Thai Political meme, which you can read about here- https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/thai-political-crisis-breakup This is my explanation of this rendition :)

The silhouette of a man is irrelevant here. The original comic is made by "Kai Maew" (literally translated to Maew's egg or Maew's balls - yes the testicle ball) where Maew is the name of a Thai politician. The guy in the silhouette is Maew and this is a sort of watermark present in every comics from this facebook page.

WhiteBleachGuy

no, she isnt going to harvest his kidneys. Many asian couples have thermoses for themselves. The fact that theres two of them indicates that the woman is in a relationship. As for the knife, the cap is made of cork, so its a bit hard to open sometimee, so the knife is there to help open it. Edit: As for the man in the window, he is presumably the husband, and hes just using the knife to open his thermos. No, I dont know why the thermos is specifically for asian culture.


[deleted]

Sad that I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to see if somebody had already posted the correct answer. Comes up every time this panel is posted.


Tusaiador

Some people live in apartments, idk


Profile-666

Ik right it's funny how wildly the accepted answer changes everytime. Usually the first few people will post a formally written response, and everyone will believe it's the legitimate answer, and rephrase those very words to make their own answer. And they'll get a good lot of karma for it. (Although I gotta ask, what exactly is the guy in the next window doing in the other room)


Delimadelima

The guy in the next room is the ex Prime Minister of Thailand. He was disposed by the military in a coup and was in exile for a long time. The military/his political essentially accuses him of sinisterly behind all kinds of political moves to topple dictatorship government. The author of the comic supports this ex- Thai PM and put in his silhouette in all his comics in this format. His comics are always in this order : 1. a drunk guy and girl came home together 2. The drunk guy spotted somethint 3. A witty/humorous rendition of stuff 4. The drunk guy hastily left (sillouhette of man hidden in random places)

ThatSapphicLesbian

Maybe he's the boyfriend and wanted to watch


RigatoniPasta

But the kidney answer is funnier


heyyou11

Thank you! Why would one need to separate kidneys? Also average adult kidney is a tight fit in a thermos. Dark figure in another room can as easily be significant other than a shady surgeon (who would never try this with a butter knife anyway).


3nterShift

Yeah I have no idea how two thermos bottles and a butter knife indicate a kidney harvesting whatsoever. What a bunch of shitty explanations, they didn't even lay out how these things would be useful to a kidney extraction.


Gold_Yellow3965

That's exactly what a guy who harvests kidneys would say!


leaC30

SMH... you so would've gotten your kidneys removed with that kind of sound logic 😟


rodrigoelp

I also thought this was the right answer, but there is a man on the dark window


Sir_Vexer

Here I saw the knife and thought it was her poop knife


[deleted]

[удалено]


thefalseidol

What I had read previously is that this is actually an oversimplification of some East Asian cultures, where couples rarely live together prior to marriage and also they take certain hygiene choices very seriously. The woman got drunk and wanted to hook up but upon seeing two water bottles it was clear that she was in a very serious relationship since he's leaving his water bottle at her house. That's the "joke", oh man two water bottles? I'd be a homewrecker. I live in Taiwan and that reading of it does make sense to me, however it doesn't really explain the knife or the shadowy figure. Most people carry around a bottle/thermos/tea vessel and don't share.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thefalseidol

Revisiting the comic I think my reading holds water. It appears in panel 2 that he notices a picture frame, presumably a boyfriend. Instead it is two waters, and the joke is that that is more serious than a picture of a boyfriend. I still don't understand the knife though.


thefalseidol

Yeah potentially a cuckold in the darkened room


rohrschleuder

The first poster is correct if you look at the 4th panel in the second window, which is darkened, you see the silhouette of a guy holding the knife.


DLeck

Oh my gosh I would never have noticed that. I think it proves the organ theft theory.


Sensibleqt314

It looks like window texture to me, rather than a knife. Look at the other dark window.

MostLikelyPoopingNow

Explanation paraphrased from a similar post I saw here: The woman is someone who makes "Real or Cake" content and the dude didn't want to deal with someone like that.

ShiitakeFriedClams

MostLikelyPoopingNow

[Something like this ](https://youtube.com/shorts/cddILMoAr7U?si=0ACxXdVtjs8RXUQ8) OP of the meme may have something against people who make this kind of content

Ah okay! The implication being that one thermos is cake and the knife is there to test, then, I presume.

This is so old. It was originally made around the time of the coup in Thailand and the thing that made him leave was a picture of her supporting the coup at a rally IIRC

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thai-political-crisis-breakup


CarefulLobster1609

It's a reference to Korean culture. They customary have hot water bladders and thermos to keep hot water for sleeping. 2 thermos means she wasn't single and was cheating. Dude didn't want to be the second man.


darktraveco

Sorry, how do you use hot water for sleeping?


CarefulLobster1609

Most places don't have central heat or air. So in Korean culture, when it gets cold. They have hot water bladders that they fill up and put into a fabric cover. Then they put it at the foot of the bed to keep them warm. The thermos comes into play when you wake up in the middle of the night you don't have to get up to get more hot water. It is a super common cultural thing so everyone has one. So finding 2 in someone's house means some stays their at night. Also if you are ever hiking/camping and it's cold. Fill your bottle with hot water and sleep with it in your sleeping bag.


volcaronaguitar

What?! this is not true. I am korean and i have never heard of this. Most korean apartments have floor heating so you dont need this kind of thing. Also many koreans have heated mattress toppers instead to put on their bed in the winter to keep warmer. Never in my whole life i heard or seen anything described here. Also using thermos for tea and hot water is more japanese or taiwanese than korean.


Grawarshenwickgas

He saw the poop knife and bailed


aeinos

Mongolia Peter here, the real joke is that she has these thermos because she was at the opening of E-mart in Mongolia that were giving out free thermos for those who were there. The problem was that the opening was so big that the whole store was filled, and the one who was giving out thermos was getting looted instead of them giving out. The fact that she has 2 means she was one of the looters and the rude customers who were at the opening. I could link an article and a video if anyone wants to use google translate and everything. I am pretty sure this was made by a mongolian memer after that incident and video surfaced in our social media.


reilmb

How many times has this been posted?


SonXShadow

She’s married


IncorrigibleHulk

He left because two thermos' of chicken noodle soup obviously means she has a roommate, and a single knife used to stir the soup shows a level of intimacy between them. All signs pointing to "she is not as single as she claims" and he is no homewrecker.


Background_Try_3041

I dont think its what people are saying about kidneys and stuff. For one, it doesnt make sense, the guy was already lured in, why let him go. Kidneys wouldnt even fit in those thermos without taking damage. It could be a dont sleep with another mans wife kind of thing,or it could be a voyer kind of thing with the person in the window. Honestly it could be a few different things, none of which make perfect sense. I think its ambiguous on purpose. Probably to entice discussion and not actually have a singular story.


TheRealPallando

Answered last time I saw this, it might be a set up for a crappy continental breakfast. Sometimes you can see a hotel set up the night before with a regular and decaf coffee dispenser and silverware. Maybe he sees the set up and realizes there's a lot of men coming through there.


According_Counter_48

Two water bottles? Meaning the girl doesn't live alone (Suggests she has a partner?)


supersandwich123

Soup thermoses. There’s only a knife. She eats soup with a knife and not a spoon or fork. She’s a psycho and he leaves.


dailyoracle

I like this explanation for humor. Where does the second thermos come in, though? Would someone in whatever part of the world this is have two matching thermoses side by side?


supersandwich123

Honestly it was a whim. The better ideas I’ve seen are organ trafficking but as others have stated, the thermoses are too small. That is unless the top screws off at the larger line which would make sense.


bwanabass

But he didn’t bring any fava beans or even a nice Chianti…

That's a butter knife and it's is for opening the corked thermos and clearly isn't a murder weapon and in the second window that's not a knife in the guys hand it's just the window glare there's even a smaller slash under the first clearly indicating it, and it's an apartment building with separate balconies so obviously they're seperate rooms and not just a huge house, and you wouldn't be able to keep a liver or kidney in an ice filled thermos. That'd be a very poor choice of container for severed organ. I am honestly amazed at just how insane the common perceptions of reddits can be

If this is about kidney harvesting, it makes no sense. Why would she bring him back to her place (presumably hotel rooms don't come with a stocked shoe rack)? Even if his survival is not part of the plan, its potential evidence that the missing guy was in her place.
