How come some poo floats? While other poo sinks?

Question

I left 3 nice sized "floaters" so I named them the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.....

Then my Mom left one big "sinker" so naturally....we called it the Titanic.

What decides if it floats or sinks?

Answer 1

The majority of these people are wrong. Poo will either sink or float depending on how many fats you have digested. If your poo is loaded with fats, it will sink because fatty substances are less dense than non-fatty substances. If you eat small amounts of fat, your poo will sink. Haven't you ever seen really fat people floating with ease in a pool, while skinny people sink right to the bottom? Same concept.

Answer 2

omfg that is frigin disgusting.Y would u even ask that? u must b having a competition or sum thing eww

Answer 3

Because some poo is hollow where as some is actually filled. The hollow ones float because it has air in it, and the filled ones sink because the water can't support the weight.

Answer 4

This is such a crappy question.

Answer 5

i think the reason is, it will depends on what you ate, if you only ate vege, fish, bread or you had light meal, your poo will float, but if you ate all kinds of meat foods, your poo will sink..

Answer 6

It probably had to do with the density of the poo.  For example it you ate more greens then your poo might be less dense and be more prone to floating, just like an apple floats.

But if you eat alot of meat and stuff like that then you poo might sink just like chicken b*****s sink.
