Ok while today's post is a tad bit different from my usual reflective posts, it is nevertheless still an observation. It is something that I've been wondering for years but have never been able to find an answer for.
Why does shit float at certain times while sink at other times?I don't get it. I mean what do we eat that is less dense than water? Considering that shit is essentially what we eat, shouldn't all shit sink? Why does it float sometimes? Weird.

Why does some poop float?
(Question submitted by High Rise)
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. Poop with a high fat content will also float.
