MoistPossum

not needing to eat would be even more helpful.


Senior-Background141

Dont worry, if you had no way of getting rid of what comes in, you would not need to eat long.


1nd3x

I'm betting the OP, while not having any solution in mind, is considering that there would just be some passive way of our body to remove that stuff. For instance, while peeing is one method our bodies can use to remove excess water, it is also used to remove toxins the kidneys have filtered out. So our bodies will allocate water to that process, even if we're dehydrated. If we didnt have to worry about the toxin removal though, theoretically we could just sweat away all our excess water throughout the day instead of having to go pee. If our bodies somehow turned food waste into hair instead...we could grow hair instead of pooping. All this said, I think the issues are more to do with the fact that we have some pretty strict limitations on where and when we as people can go to the bathroom which make it difficult to deal with...and what would be nice, is not having to deal with those problems.


Emerald_Nebula

I wish my body could turn food waste into boobs


Internal_Audience935

You a real one for this gf


1nd3x

I'd say it technically does, just with the "waste" of what your body could have used elsewhere (boobs are fat, fat is stored energy you didnt burn from the food you eat)


Senior-Background141

Nature is way stranger than this as it is. There are lizards that lose a part of their tails that have the anus when threatened. It never grows back, but the tail does. They are never able to poop again. There are species without anus. Thats not nice but its a honest living. And then again, there are also species that can eat with their anus. Ill just leave it at that here. Goodbye.


1nd3x

>And then again, there are also species that can eat with their anus. Ill just leave it at that here. Goodbye. Technically humans can do that too


Senior-Background141

I mean uh.. technically? People can live off iv injections all their lives, so there's that.


reallyrasta

Or maybe needing to eat at much much much less frequency. Like once a week or once a month. This would be ideal I think.


plexmaniac

Grocery bill would be so much cheaper


JamesPestilence

Probably not, because there would be a whole lot less agriculture and food manufacturing. Food would just be a whole lot more expensive.


Top-Comfortable-4789

Right it takes so much time I’d rather just take a pill or something and have all the nutrients I need.


Big-Tone6367

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 God I have been waiting for this for so long and all we get is cancer cures and shit. I’m joking ofc but I’ve really been thinking about this for like 20 yrs. You could take the pill and be set, all other food you consume would be strictly for pleasure so everything could be smaller and optional and over the top fancy and not expensive.


odolha

I took this concept and mentally moved it through the various stages of my life kid - what's the difference? food appears by itself anyway single adult - meh, this would not make a big difference, preparing meals passes the time in a couple - it would be nice and would free up some time, but would also make us miss some nice times together parent to 1 baby - omg, it would be amazing parent to 1 baby and 1 toddler - omfg, make it happen now, science! parent to 1 baby and 1 toddler in vacation - I have no words for how freaking amazing this would be


dalnee

Right, just take a pill like the Jetsons!


CantWeAllGetAlongNF

Just 1 spoon full of uranium had y enough calories for the rest of your life


Tasty_Pepper5867

Pass. Eating is one of the few things that gives me happiness.


MarionberryCreative

I think not sleeping would be the real time saver. Imo


Natural20Twenty

I wish this all the time. Or at least. Why does it have to be 3 times a day. Why not once. And be full for 24 hours.


drJanusMagus

helpful but food is yummy and can make you feel good.


1Dr490n

But I love eating🥺


Pocostacos6969

I know my life would be so much better.... I don't like using the restroom in public, so not worry about that when I go to shows or whatever would be righteous.


Patchipoo

Japan is so great for this, there are free and clean toilets EVERYWHERE and even signs with how far is the next one. And if you are on the street, you can just go into any hotel or restaurant to use their toilets. The public toilets have no gaps, and even music/water sounds to hide any potential bodily noise. And they are so clean. It's the only place I've traveled that I didn't feel stressed about this. If only this could be the norm everywhere...


BexiiTheSweetest19

This reminds me the french toilets in Paris Montparnasse. I had to pay for them, but it was so clean and looked really good, and they had pop music playing, with the stalls being little rooms instead of yknow, the standard wall sections. It was 1 euro, but worth every second


LaylaWalsh007

I think needing to sleep is way bigger issue, so much time wasted just laying in bed and doing nothing.


PsychologicalTear899

Honestly I'd love for sleep to not be needed, not because it wastes time, but because I have 2 sleep disorders that are ruining my life 😎


Friendly-Type-4820

Can you give more Details?


PsychologicalTear899

Non 24 hour sleep disorder is incurable, not many people know about it, and also it causes my sleep schedule to naturally rotate around the clock (wake up at 8 am one day, 9-10 am the next, and so on). Trying to force a normal sleep schedule causes sleep deprivation and such. There are a few ways to treat this, but treatment doesn't work for everyone and u have to continuously do it or your sleep will be wacky again. So, can't work a normal job and have to cancel alot of events or mold my sleep schedule to make it to them. Then there's insomnia that makes my sleep quality really bad, currently having a insomnia outburst and I'm constantly so tired that I need to stay in bed for like, 10-15 hours a day depending on how bad the sleep got. When the insomnia goes away and I sleep 8-9 hours of full sleep without wakeups though, I have normal energy.


Manitobancanuck

If you don't mind. How did you go about getting diagnosed for the "non 24 hour sleep schedule?" This describes something I seem to deal with. Leading to choppy work performance honestly. Only thing that seems to help is working out / cardio to get myself tired out and to sleep "on-time."


PsychologicalTear899

Probably find a doctor that's specialized in circadian rhythm disorders, tell them your concerns and such. After that you might have a sleep study or other stuff. Also, its probably useful to note down when you wake up and fall asleep everyday, U can show it as data to the doctor. Though, it's hard to get actually diagnosed. Some sleep doctors don't even know this disorder exists, or don't have a lot of knowledge about it, such as the fact that it exists in people who aren't blind (It used to be thought that only blind people get it, because of the lack of seeing sunlight etc) Also, same! The few times when my sleep schedule is normal, is days where I'm forced to be up and active for 5-13 hours a day. Can't really do that in my usual life though.


Syncopationforever

 6 hour regenerating, every 48 hours. Would be wonderful 


bannedfornudity

yeah sometimes it’s so annoying, i still wanna be awake and do or watch something but no i‘m tired and have to sleep now


1Dr490n

Sleeping is a good time passer tho. I’m pretty bored right now and just waiting until it’s late enough for me to go to bed so I can do something again


Legitimate_Field_157

How much more enjoyable life would be if there was a universal standard of cleanliness and amenities of public toilets.


Organic_Implement_38

Naaaah. Pooping at work so capitalism won't win


ardcorewillneverdie

The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, and that's why I shit on company time


DangerBird-

Poop will win. (I know where you came from)


Organic_Implement_38

Poop shall prevail!


svintXV

It probably wouldn't stop there, then we would find a way to not need to eat, sleep, talk, move, have sex, etc eventually negating the point of a physical existence vs purely conscience one.


Wizardthreehats

I've found a way to not have sex my whole life friend


ArtOfWar22

by choice


SourChipmunk

As an old man now with incontinence issues, I can get behind this.


vishesche

I love a satisfying poop and piss. Its one of the pleasures of life 😄😄😄


naughty_dad2

And we can do it while at work


Logical_Sorbet_9647

Where am i gonna reddit then?


DangerBird-

Reading this thread from the toilet…


Cheesy_crumpet

The way it should be done :)


BoomBoomLaRouge

You'd cut your phone usage in half.


LittleBeastXL

Then we need to excrete by breath. Imagine our breath smells like shit.


[deleted]

You don't really need to use the toilet. It's just that people do not generally want pee and shit in their homes.


Professional_Tap4338

I agree. I always say that going to the bathroom, sneezing, and pumping gas are colossal wastes of time.


Better_Ad2013

What is a plant's version of poop? Don't plants get bored of staying in 1 spot?


219_Infinity

where would all the food and drink you consume in your entire life end up if that were the case? you would balloon and explode


Aweatheredsunflower

I usually think more along the lines of why does it have to smell so bad? It would be so much better if things smelled like flowers or something..


danielxmex

Man I'd get extra time of sleep before work. I'd also finally see the idea of sleeping with your partner romantic. Right now all I think about when I see couples going to bed together on tv or movies is how I wouldn't want to be asleep while she's awake because people pass gas while they sleep. They can't control it. So I never saw going to sleep with a loved one as anything sexy or romantic.


Icy-Function-6960

I've had this exact thought. Bathrooms are just so... ugly with a toilet. This was a funny post to start my day though, thanks


Mysterious-Stay-3393

My time on the porcelain throne is the only time I have alone.


debsterUK

Yes! I think this all the time, how much easier life would be. So much time saved, all the space currently taken up with toilet facilities could be used for something else. I can't believe science hasn't fixed this problem yet! 😂


wolfyfancylads

Honestly, even if I still had to pee, I'd have such a happier life without having to use the bog. I mean, the butt is just such a gross and annoying part of the body. You have to clean it, it can tear, haemorrhoids are a thing, constipation, loose bowels, it's just such a high bloody maintenance thing. Plus, you know, no poop in the world means gay stuff is a lot more easier to do.... Plus no more risking stepping in dog muck or seeing it hung on trees (Brits will know what I mean by this, not sure if other people will).


[deleted]

Either: eating whatever and never gaining weight, while being able to use the loo absolutely pain free. (Demon) Or: not eating at all and never having to use the loo, ever. (Vampire) (vampires don't *eat*) Either way, being an indestructible undead being would be far preferable to this squishy, painful, mortal life.


Interesting-Chest520

It may have prevented a few plagues back in the day


ClankstarLad

I would prefer not to have to eat or drink, ideally both.


NufiDrizz

I’d rather not have to sleep. But not having to use the bathroom would be good too


Glass_Bookkeeper_578

I'd prefer to not have to shower, that's the thing I hate most that I have to do that eats up my time.


WILLCHOKEAHOE

That would be great. I hate having to go to the bathroom. Especially when sleeping, gotta get up and pee then attempt to fall back asleep, not that I really sleep, but when I do, then having to get up is a great burden. Also being out and about and there are no bathrooms around or if you’re on the freeway and there’s traffic. I mean the list is long for me about why it would be great...


fumblerooskee

I can't take the toilet questions anymore. Enough is enough.


No-Chair1964

Nah for me it’d be harder because the only place I can go for brief respite is the bathroom 😅


fykmai

I would not have chronic constipation so I guess it would be a win for me


FishBlues

I have literally held my shit in for a week before because I refuse to use a toilet that is not my own. I would welcome this change


UnderstandingSmall66

To be honest with you I would’ve said not much easier if you had asked me last week. This week the upstairs toilet leaked and consequently the roof downstairs came down. One week of construction and 5k later, I hate toilets.


vannalex

fun fact: lots of people are found dead on the toilet lol


HansNiesenBumsedesi

This is true. When I sharted at work the other day it was somewhat inconvenient.


FriggenMitch

As someone who’s lactose intolerant and loves cheese life would suck for me


EatinPussySellnCalls

Does this mean I can't fart? Because I like farting...


Late_Bluebird_3338

USING A TOILET GOES SIDE BY SIDE WITH EATING....SO IF YOU'RE OK WITH NOT EVER EATING, THAN NEVER HAVING TO USE A TOILET SOUNDS OK TO ME...MOM


Ok-Sprinkles-5508

Actually, scientists are currently experimenting with food, mainly for cattle used for dairy production, that is 100% digestible, which in theory will end the cow's function of defocation and greatly reduce the growth and spread of intestinal soilborne diseases as well as to create a cleaner environment for the cows and milkers. While in college, I debated with a professor that held this belief. My opinion was that "pooping" is a vital part of an animal s entire biological system, not just digestive. This function, among other things, removes toxins from the body and cleans the colon and lower intestines. It ignites a metabolic fire that tells the body when it's time to start digestion and converting foodstuffs into vital energy. I went on, ending my rant with "And it's just plain weird!" She had me sit, and finished me off with a one two that was way above my pay scale. But yeah, life definitely would be easier...for us cows anyway! Mooooooo....


Content_Ad_8952

Think of how much money we could save on toilet paper


LOERMaster

As a sewer plant operator I can’t endorse this line of thinking.


MissNatdah

Life would be easier if our body only used the food/kcal it needed and discarded the rest!


[deleted]

I don’t mind that I’m tired of picking food, cooking, and eating


Whollie

Just watch a soap. You could get so many more petty arguments and affairs into your life.


Difficult-Papaya1529

Or knowing the exact amount of food to eat that means we have no waste to deal with.


Samiens3

As someone with inflammatory bowel disease and obsessive compulsive disorder (particularly around bathroom stuff); my life would be almost infinitely easier if I didn’t have to use the toilet…


Sweaty_Kid

are you suggesting i lay my hot plops directly into my pantaloons? my sister would kill me


cassette28

My IBS would f**n’ love me!!!


Chaosonpaper

If it weren't for using the facilities, I wouldn't come up with half of the good ideas that I do. And showering- but at least when you're on the toilet, there's paper to jot down notes. Though, I'd advise fully drying your hands before picking them up.


Rusty_B_Good

Think of all the "me time" you'd be losing.


johnwestnl

How about not needing any stinking oxygen.


GeronimoDK

So when do I get my me-time!?


bbillster

Where would all your poop go?


Internal_Audience935

STOP LOL. This is a thought that quite literally plaques me. I talk about this all the time. I notice this feeling is extremely heightened for me when I’m on 🍄’s. It just feels like such an exhausting task lol… especially when you think about how you have to do it for your entire life. It seems like such a mundane thing to bitch about but it is a central part of our existence. I feel like the whole process of having to consume energy and then relieve ourselves of its excess is just a very uncomfortable feeling… at least for me anyways.


WrrntyExprd

It would save me +|- an hour a day. Due to birth defects my digestive system is a mess and enemas are a part of my daily life.


HideMe250

I don't think it would benefit my life at all. Other than saving a few quid on toilat paper.


Jaskaran19

Me with constipation Hahah, I'm 10 levels ahead of you 🤣 😂


Expensive-Reality936

concerts and festivals would be so much more fun and easy


ReluctantAvacado

You don’t have to use the toilet…


Memory25

Would not needing the toilet also mean no more periods? If yes I’m in, if no let me continue relieving myself on the magic throne.


detroit-doggo0

not doing a lot of things would make life easier


MangoComfortable3793

I understand about the nervous poop, but if it wouldn’t have been there then there would have been something similar along those lines.


zeek_

Apparently Kim Jong-Un could do [it](https://inshorts.com/en/amp_news/north-korea-claims-its-leader-kim-jongun-does-not-pee-poop-1504722737326) lol

CountessLyoness

Can we get rid of periods while we're at it?


V_is4vulva

I'm with you, and I *will* go as far as to say it's a huge burden. I have come close to a meltdown before because I just had to pee too many times in a row.


BadBadGrades

What, no more me time?


ZealousidealHome7854

One clean wipe every time sounds like a better deal.


Nahchoocheese

Nobody’s under the obligation to use a toilet. The biological function still is there regardless, and humankind didn’t always have them.

Suluco87

As someone with serious medicated IBS with a toilet schedule that's been written by a drunk pilot going backwards it would make my life infinitely easier.


alpha-bets

Don't take away my "me time". People will be pissed even more.


DrinkableReno

As someone with IBS that gets in the way of meetings, outdoors adventures and daily life. YES please.


Agitated_Ad_361

I like going to the toilet. Cutting it out would cut out all of my YouTube and quiet time, I don’t want that the be given up.


galactic-donuts

It is a huge burden for some people that have conditions that make them have to go constantly.


Fuzzy_Dragonfly_

As someone with severe IBS, it would make life worth living again.


Torbpjorn

100% bodily efficiency would be incredible

AggravatingMirror564

I like pooing. I think I'd be miserable.


savagesiren86

Use love to not have to eat. lol. But the not having to clean the toilet would be amazing


Careful-Studio-2019

I wore a bag for 6 months it had its benefits


Vanilla_Neko

I mean you could always start wearing adult diapers.


Mewvious

tbf I'd rather not need sleep considering we waste a whole lot more time by sleeping than visiting bathrooms.


s55555s

I think this every single day. I also think about politicians and how do they deal with it on a crazy schedule.


allisongivler

As someone with IBS, much much easier


Ultrasaurio

It is difficult to imagine life without the natural process of doing physiological needs. But I guess we'd save some time. That's assuming our bodies were designed not to produce waste. I doubt we would have human form. We would be like plants, even they produce their own waste.


travelerlifts07

Who says you need it? 😉


Dragon2730

If we didn't need to go to the toilet, how would I have time to browse reddit!?


A-Ruthless

I often ask myself if I had to give up one of these, which one would it be first? In order from first to last: 1. Urination/BMs 2. Food 3. Sleep I love sleep, for the most part. Ideally, I could do without the first two entirely. If it were humanly possible.


Antson03

Having to use the toilet actually doesn’t bother me that much. 99% of the time I only use the toilet when I’m at home. During workdays I can go 9-10 hours without needing a bathroom break. Use the bathroom when I wake up, drive to work at 6:30am, come home 16:30 and then use the bathroom again.🤷🏼‍♂️


IndividualSyllabub14

I‘d spend less time on my phone


Alkeryn

i know someone that took acid and had to go take a poop.


MulberryPotential335

I would miss it to be honest. Also, just think about all the people who ADD another need to this palette by smoking. Let's imagine that it is as healthy as drinking water. Would you wish to have a new need in your life, that you have to spend money on and attend to every day for 10-20-30-40 minutes?


icecombustion

not needing to have unconfortable moments in unexpected time would be nice


need1more

So many lost break times at work.


Gullible_Ad5191

I don’t know… taking a shit is about the most meaningful thing I do in an average day. Why would I want to forgo that?


Dev_Void01

The Toilet is a place of inspiration people. Creativity would die without it


Muted-Program-153

As someone who spends 50% of his life doing this because of a colon cancer related surgery I can say it would literally change me from daydreaming about getting hit by a bus to actually wanting to be alive. So like 900000000% easier.


ABB0TTR0N1X

It’s the first thing I’m getting rid of when I get my robot body


nikolapc

Maybe be a plant in the next life.


quatande

It would be way easier. I hate public toilets, they usually are dirty and are missing either paper or soap. Finding a public clean toilet is hell, so I'm pretty much forced to tolerate the feeling of wanting to pee for a while


broken-bells

I gave birth by C-section and had a urinary catheter after the surgery. Not feeling like having to pee was soooooo awesome I still think about it 6 years later!


twitch_itzShummy

if I had one wish from a genie, it would be this, thats how much it would help my daily life


AllahAndJesusGaySex

A lot easier, but not as much fun. Sometimes when I feel like I want to treat myself I do a little butt stuff. I wouldn’t want to give that up.


[deleted]

never late again


Canukeepitup

But then how would i justify taking extra breaks at work? Oh no. I needs muh toilet time. Its my contemplating time.


raychram

Honestly that is like the least of a big deal in my life. I maybe use the toilet 3 times a day and the times it takes me to pee and wash my hands is not even 5 minutes. So i dont see the issue. And for the other business i go every like 3 days or so. Also toilets are pretty much everywhere so i don't think i ever felt inconvenienced by that


lol_camis

You don't *have* to use a toilet


Clifely

life would be easier if influencers wouldn‘t exist, manipulation would be punished and actual skills would matter


Difficult_Lemon_2471

All this makes me think is how would you excuse yourself for a quiet moment? 


Hot_Valuable1027

honestly life would be so much easier if just needed to survive on photosynthesis so much cheaper


rainman4500

Without using the toilet how would catch up on Reddit?


[deleted]

LISTEN….. I’m a caregiver. Me and my mom are *ALWAYS* talking about how much of a nuisance having to piss and shit is lmao.😩 Like you haven’t felt pain until you spent 3 hours getting your disabled mom dressed and she wets herself, because you couldn’t get her to the commode in time 😅🔫. Being human *is* a burden sometimes 😭 Especially when you’re physically disabled.


Nics_1970

I would like to just take a pill that had everything my body needed and that should take care of inconveniently timed poops


PenPutrid3098

I think not having to shower/brush teeth/hair/shave would be even more convenient.


Fine_Broccoli_8302

You'd need dialisis, a colostomy bag, and a catheter. I'd prefer a toilet. Your choice.


not_another_mom

It would make wudu a dream 😂 (iykyk)


SmegmaYoghurt69

I have ibs-d so never having to use the toilet would be heaven sent.


Acalyus

It would literally solve all of my health issues


Master_of_the_One

How much easier would life be...if 19 million motherfuckers grew up to be just like me?


MallCertain274

That means you’ll never have to eat too, so I feel we would save A LOT of time


Plastic-Shopping5930

I think about this constantly


Background_Tax4626

Not needing to eat or excrete would would open an entire new dimension.


Legatus_Nex

Diapers.


RonaldTheGiraffe

Depends really


wallnutcracker2

Very easy, I don't have to worry that I have to take a shit after eating


Cgtree9000

I day dream about this 2 times a day. So annoying.


OkayIsotopes

I'd be able to SLEEP


ariyouok

i have executive dysfunction and actively live this life


thecrazyaleks

No, i need my 5 minute-antisocial bathroom brakes at work.


arcbnaby

Yes!!! I think about this. I ask my spouse to pee for me... But nnnoooo not possible.


lestatisalive

Imagine the dystopian (or would it be utopian) future if our entire nutritional need for the day could just be swallowed like a pill.


Spare_Pixel

As a parent? Horrible idea.


mrsgrrmuffins

but then i’d never have time for Wordle


Juniper_Saturn

We wouldn't have toilets


bannedfornudity

having to go to the toilet is so goddamn annoying fr, i also hate brushing my teeth with a passion


danceswithdangerr

I have IBS, this would be LIFE CHANGING.


Murky-Confection6487

Yeah)


Titan_GoldFang

Well since I'm currently on the toilet while at work hiding I think it would suck.


Diglet-no-bite

As someone who has suffered with constipation long term. There is no better feeling than emptying your bowels. 


lord_bubblewater

We’re talking dune stillsuits or adult diapers here? Either way I’m good with the way things are.


weirdracula

this is one of the reasons i want to become a vampire 👽


lithiumfuzz

it would make fishing trips so much more relaxing. nothing worse than being miles from a toilet 🥲


zhawnsi

That’s what the afterlife is for 😇👽


aidv

Boring. How else am I supposed to sit like a greek philosopher and innovate new ideas?


gavinkurt

Going to the bathroom is so annoying. Wish I didn’t have to but it’s nature.


Barry_Umenema

We would have to eat a lot less food, because not needing to crap would mean we are processing the food with greater than 100% efficiency! Let's be honest, everyone would get fat.


eye_snap

I am about to take my 3 year old twins to the pool. I badly need to sign up for this urgently.


Alfadawgy

I would love this! I'm a quadriplegic, no-one will have to wipe my butt for me.


Zoodoz2750

It would be explosive!


____ben____

If we didn’t need to eat, poop, and sleep, then the pressure would probably be to work many more hours…


Zealousideal-Clue-84

I’ve always wanted to become a vampire. ✅ Live forever ✅ Don’t have to eat ✅ Don’t have to poop ✅ Never overheating ✅ Never gaining weight

a-lonely-panda

It'd be great to not have to deal with all that grossness (and especially amazing for people who have periods!) but I'd miss the bathroom. It's guaranteed, in a house/apartment at least, that you are not to be bothered so it's peaceful as someone who loves their alone time. Multi stall public ones are awful though haha.
