Comglaturstion! We’re both going to die.

Not to be too dark, but some people probably start in the die state and never even get to have any sort of poop. :(

I suppose that's still technically no diarrhoea.

We havent seen the weights. In a general sense - yes; in a weighted sense - slow yes

I wonder what kind of conditions might allow that state chart to have a transition from Death back to Diarrhea.

post mortem spasms might cause defecation

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

The worst is diarrhea and cough

I want the transition probabilities, fam. That's where the fun's at!

Are you implying that all of these are actually different representations of the same thing?

The son gets into some shit
The father does not give a shit

I mean everyone gets to experience their last trip to the toilet before dying, so I guess its not wrong.

Is it a fart? Do I roll the dice? Yeah, I should be goo.... ::sigh:: Cleanup, aisle 12.

All this chart says is death is the absorbing state and we all converge there regardless of excrement consistency.
