There were the German Sturgeons

I remember a bit of Bean Jean overlap, and I've seen a bean lamp recently, but no jean lamp yet.

And Ed Sheeran memes.

Don’t forget Van week!

Not pooping for 3 days followed by pooping for 3 days straight

And you still won't explain why!

It's been a while, so I must have exaggerated it in my mind. Three days certainly sounds more plausible.

It was more the lack of an explanation that hooked people, rather than just the not pooping - IIRC, we never ended up getting any real explanation for why this guy needed to not poop for a week.

It was honestly pretty great, people came up with everything from "he's smuggling himself internationally in a shipping container" to "he's determined to be the winner in a really weird Mr Beast video" to "he's giving up on society to live with the sloths" before it started to turn into kind of a circle-jerk.

And of course, suggestions for stopping the poop included butt plugs, eating only cheese, butt plugs, a liquid diet, and more butt plugs.

Nope, the poop thing was only entertaining as long as the one poster who started it kept it alive. The beans and jeans thing were both funny for a couple of weeks.

This moth thing is better than all of those combined. So many clever moth based memes expanding beyond the starting moth loves lamps starting point.

i'm pretty sure beans will never die

My guess was cave exploration. He said he was going to a remote area where pooping was an option, but he didn't want to, which makes sense when you know you've gotta carry that shit out with you in your cave pack. There are only a handful of scientific cave expeditions that go into caves for three days, so I figured that if he said so, he would unequivocally dox himself.

Haj was a great guess too

What if the concern wasn't that he would have to use a disgusting bathroom, but rather that he takes horrible shits and didn't want someone to know?

I mean, I'd certainly be embarrassed to have to tell the internet something like "I'm visiting my in-laws for a few days, and I really want them to like me. The problem is that I shit like a farm animal, and they only have one bathroom."

He deleted it! The post is still around, but all the associated comments are gone. Does anybody know if it was all archived?

Same comrade, same.
