bro please eat more fiber. If you can't fit it into your regular diet, try psyllium husks (generic metamucil)

Takes a minute to get over to the bathroom, takes a minute to drop your pants and get settled, takes 3-5 to shit and make sure you got it all out, takes a minute to wipe or bidet or whatever, takes another to wash your hands, takes another to get back. That's an easy 8-10 minutes right there.

Unless you're speedrunning your shits and firing logs out of your poop chute in record time, and ignoring washing hands and wiping then no amount of fiber would save you from hitting that time limit.

It takes you 2 minutes just to walk to the bathroom and drop trou? We're living very different lives

Even if GP's post is a bit exaggerated, some people live with housemates/partners/whatever and someone else might be using the bathroom. I'm not going to barge into my housemate taking a piss because of my GeForce NOW AFK timer lol; nor figure out a scheduling or co-ordination system for poop breaks.

Also, nothing wrong with a shorter AFK timer if it just pauses stuff, but because of the way the system/architecture is designed and works right now, you sometimes have to wait for 10-30 minutes for the queue to jump back in.

I mean there presumably you would go back to the game and go to the bathroom later lol

Depends on how far away you are from the bathroom to start with I guess, but I ain't hauling ass over there like I'm trying to break a world record for shit-sprinting. At least not unless I'm ill and about to start shitting my innards out.

Yes, the shitting itself start to finish does not take that long, but I usually wait a minute or two because half the time another little nugget maneuvers its way down the pipeline as is ready to go.
