Some poo floats and some don't, why is that?

Answer 1

If you are eating a healthy diet with plenty of roughage, it will float. If your diet is mainly pizza, curry and chips, it won't

Answer 2

WHY DOES SOME POOP FLOAT? Floaters are turds that have an unusually high gas content. Sometimes the gases produced by bacteria in our gut don't have a chance to collect into a large fart bubble, but remain dispersed in the feces. The poop then comes out foamy, and has a lower density than water.

Answer 3

Density is really the answer. If an object, ANY object including feces, is less dense than water, it will float. If it's more dense, it sinks.

Poop that has high fat content, is not packed all that tight, or has gas trapped inside, will float, while dense poops that are hard and packed tightly will sink.

Answer 4

poo is waste that is removed from our body. In our bodies we have gas. Gas is sometimes made with the poo (That is what makes it float) and the one that does not contains no gas

Answer 5

It depends how much fat you have eaten. Excess fats in food make poo float.

Answer 6

if you eat food with holes, you poo-poo floats...

you must have heard of the equation

cheese with holes+ Aero chocolate = floaty poo-poo?

Answer 7

Determined by the content of fibre the more there is then you'll float.

Answer 8

A good diet including plenty of fibre and vegetables produces healthy floaters while fat, commercial shortening and processed foods produce unhealthy high density faeces.

Answer 9

Well the correct answer is Fiber. If your diet has enough it floats, if you don't it doesn't. But ewwww.

Answer 10

The amount of fat in the food you ate. Fat floats.
