Link to article

The article title is a little misleading - the tadpoles of this frog don't poop because they're only in a small amount of water and they'd quickly foul it if they pooped frequently like other animals. Instead, they wait until they start to become frogs, then they safely poop outside of their spawning pools.

Now we need a link to the year-old Lemmy post of the guy who didn't want to poop over a long weekend

So, what you're saying is that everyone does, indeed, poop? Fascinating.

In the video game Black & White if you punished your creature every time it went to the bathroom it would eventually stop doing it completely. Until they patched it, anyway.

I forgot about that game!

The Lemmy no poop challenge memes were when I realized this was where I belonged.

Haha look at that person that doesn't know how an apple poops. Probably also eats the Apples bumhole.

Is this something I can teach myself? Also, I'd like further research about how these frogs are teaching at all.

If you consume nothing, you'll have your final elimination of waste in not too long.
