TIL I'm corn because I'm full of shit
If that's true, I'm an entire cob.
Well, you're certainly not a logician
But like why did they fill up all plump and not just be like a deflated balloon.
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
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.
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.
I mean it depends on what you eat ofcourse. Its just a linear change between soup(0) and crackers(idk maybe 10).
Like a mouthful Spaghetti doesnt need too much like maybe 4-5 times for me, but i have seen plenty of people who almost swallow pasta unchewed. Something like meat or carrots or whatever needs some more to get it to a small enough size to swallow and it just keeps going up with size, hardness and dryness.

At least find an uncensored version. Jesus. So dumb.
Seems like an extreme reaction to a reasonable request
I have a flair for the dramatic
Magikarp used splash
"Jesus. So dumb."
What were these books called?
This one appears to be called "I Guess I'll Just Go Fuck Myself: Thanks for Nothing, Dickbag McShitstain." Hope this helps!
little critter. i had a video game of one of the books i used to play the shit out of as a kid.
Just Grandma and Me where they go to the beach? I had that one and now my kid plays the shit out of it too.

"Just Go to Bed" by Mercer Mayer
Cornshells are tough AF and we're shit at chewing.
If you really want to discover something crazy, swallow some raisins whole.
Do they come out as grapes
God I hope they re-hydrate and come out plump and poo water filled
Pop 'em right back in your mouth for a juicy treat!
I don't particularly care for raisins but I might have to go get some to satisfy my curiosity.
The T-1000 variant
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.
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.
What happens if you eat corn? Can you eat tortilla chips?
Not who you asked, but I'm allergic to corn. Tortilla chips, cornbread, anything made with corn starch, cornmeal (including pizza because people use that on the bottom of pizza), some gluten free and some vegan foods have triggered allergic reactions for me.
It's extra fun trying to find food I can eat that I haven't made myself, because I'm also allergic to wheat and eggs.
You actually make me feel better about my recent celiac diagnosis. I'm sorry you've got to deal with all that though, that sounds terrible.
Are you allergic to wheat or are you also celiac?
Celiac is so difficult! I'm sorry you have to deal with that. You'll get into a routine eventually, especially when it comes to checking food labels. You'll still have to deal with trusting people when it comes to eating at restaurants or friends. I ordered food last week for the first time in ages and asked if their soup has corn. I forgot to add "or corn starch", totally gave myself a terrible allergic reaction lol
As far as I can tell, gluten does not trigger my allergies. I don't know which protein I'm allergic to, the allergist couldn't tell me

You need my one neat trick.
