But why does it
In his 1953 autobiography, Danish explorer Peter Freuchen claimed that in 1926, he became trapped in a blizzard while running a dog team and was forced to take shelter under his sled for 30 hours while snow built up and froze around him. When he tried to emerge, he found he was entombed in ice and unable to break free with his hands alone. Thinking quickly, he took a shit right there, shaped the turd into a chisel, and allowed it to freeze solid. He then claims he was able to use his newly made tool to chip his way free and make it back to camp. Peter was the only witness to his supposed escape. The study mentions it’s based on an Inuit ethnographic account, however. Maybe Peter, having spent much time in the Arctic with Inuit peoples simply took the story for himself. With the runners of the study finding that they were unable to replicate such a technique, it lends credibility to the claim that story may have been fabricated.

ah, but did they eat what he ate beforehand?
Bro ate copper, tin, and a smelting kit
Minecraft inventory crafting style
I actually wondered the same thing while I was writing lol. Further research is clearly warranted 🧑🔬🔬
How would you put ‘person who tested various diets and eating habits for the best possible shit to freeze and pick through ice with’ on a resume?
Scientist
Bro thought an inuit joke was real.
Because sometimes you just have to find out.
Sometimes you just got to know.
In conclusion, the results support the hypothesis that fecal knives are usually shitty knives
– the paper, probably
This is not the poop knife I was expecting
Years go by but the internet legend lives on.
Dunno about that science article, but I bought a poop knife a while ago and it works great!
Scissors are more practical in any case.
I should rewatch Mythbusters.
They’re on YouTube.
Ooh… what’s the catch?
Ads and tracking, same as always.
I would watch videos fact checking these knives, I think I saw a chocolate knife or cardboard knife

I have accidentally picked up a dried cat turd when younger, thinking it was rock. It was a bit fragile, easily break into dust. I realized it because it was not as heavy as an actual rock of the same size.
Based on that, my unscientific conclusion is that even if it’s frozen, it’ll be hard to shape and easily breaks because it behaves more like dust/sand instead of cream.
The alleged knife would be frozen, not dried. It would be much like the ice he was enclosed in
Use urine instead. Make an ice pee-k.
I make it into a iurine-ice-bullet… untraceable
That hypthesis turned out to be shit.
Gonna need a meta-analysis to be sure

I like that it took 7 researchers to do this study. It shows commitment to the cause.
I don’t think that this is the type of project you can go in “half-assed.” You need both cheeks for this.
Might as well get paid grant money for poop time.

They should try again using petrified coprolite…
Not enough fibre/fur
Or too much. Exactly my thought
Fiber maybe but no one is eating actual fur.
