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.

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.

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.
