That'll teach you not to kneel on nests

I was kneeling next to my pond
attempting to save a drying clutch of hatching tadpoles. A few had already hatched and dried out, poor buggers. I flushed the rest into deeper water with a watering can.

Suck my tongue.
You should cut out toxicity like bigotry, puerile internet banter, etc., and cut out drugs, and cut out the AI stuff if you want to be a better Buddhist.

Or quit religious hypocrisy. Ostensibly it's a crutch to help you cope with the horrors of reality, but it only creates a false reality, a false sense of security, a false sense of community, it sets you unattainable goals, it's full of contradiction and logical inconsistencies, its hierarchical authority is feudal and corrupt and promotes conservative/toxic social norms, its most powerful figures are guilty of war crimes and, inevitably, the sexual abuse of children.

No problem.
By the way I just had a huge shit. It started awkwardly with dry pebbles but soon developed into a reassuringly soft, smooth and very long poo. 7.5/10 very satisfied with my faeces, would shit again.

The tradition I'm familiar with has a surprising amount to say about shit, brb.
It also has a story about someone going to an eminent teacher to get instruction on being a better buddhist, and being told, "forget all about that, for a start".
Perhaps unsurprisingly, your ideas about shit seem much more grounded in reality and experience than your ideas about buddhism.

To quote a great philosopher:
"You can pray into one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first."

I mean, it's true, you can do that.
