Good shit/bad shit

what prompted you to start this one then?

I can't actually remember. I've been thinking about it for a while.

I'm not falling for this one.

i'm not touching this one

(har har)

I think birdshit is the least distressing, adult stranger's the worst.

we keep finding mouse poop on our kitchen unit tops :(

OK, I'll fall for it.

Human (adult stranger's)
Dog (brown)
Cat
Bird
Dog (white)
Mouse
Human (your own)

Never touched :
Sheep (pellets isn't it?)
Cow (have stepped in though)
Horse

SUCKER!!!

least distressing at the top

Horse
Cow (dry)
Sheep
Human (your own)
Cow (wet)
Mouse
Cat
Bird
Dog - TIE - Human (adult stranger's)

i think it's a combination of ickiness and smell

horseshit is fine cos it's not sloppy and doesn't stink
dogshit is the worst stench of any shits because they eat so much meat, also it is sticky in a way that eg sheep's poo just isn't

if i had touched horse, sheep or dry cow poo i would not have a problem eating a sandwich from that hand without washing it first. any of the others needs a wash first. i realise this is probably silly. but whatever.

Humans are revolting.

Key factors for me are moisture and the abnormality of being exposed to the type of shit. Human stranger is medium moisture (diet-providing) but high rarity. Bird places unusually low as despite being most moist, it's not overly uncommon to be hit by it. This is not an entirely scientific analysis I admit and requires a degree of Fingerspitzengefuhl when faced with the shit.

Assuming all specimens are fresh, ranked from mind to don't mind:

Human (adult stranger's)
Dog
Cat
Human (your own)
Bird
Mouse
Cow
Horse
Sheep

I meant to say, please assume all of this is fresh, not dried.

2 girls 1 cup. I sadly discovered this (thank/fuck you ILX!)

?

Keep it that way. You don't need a "!".

It's all "worst", but the more meat in the animals/persons diet, the worse it is. Dog is worst because of their practically all meat diet. Sheep is "best" because they are vegetarians. As someone mentioned upthread, sheep turds are pellets and are usually dry.

Yeah, I don't know why I put sheep pellets so high. I am regrading them to go below cow. Our dog used to eat them.

At first i thought it was "what's most distressing... to fall on your HEAD" and i thought anything but bird would be super distressing!

Human (adult stranger's)
Dog
Cow
Sheep
Horse
Cat
Mouse
Bird
Human (your own)

human (your own) = it's shit but it's my shit
cat/mouse/bird = size issue
horse i assume has best diet
sheep/cow dunno
dog = there is an expression "dogshit" so i don't want the irony of it on my hands
adult stranger = disgusting unless it's some hot blonde girl who wants me to smear it all over her?

Years ago my family had a bunny rabbit named Thumper (innovative, i know!). Whenever we let him roam outside his cage he would of course leave his little pellet poops everywhere. I called them "thumpets".

do you know rabbits are supposed to eat their own poo?

ha, so that's why Thumper always had that shit-eating grin

Well there are a few modifiers. Basically amount and consistency. Cow is worse than you would think because of how much there is and it's consistency, which is due to their multi stomach digestive system. The same goes for bird, there's not much but it's consistency means that it goes everywhere.

I got no problem with horse poo, it's mostly chewed up straw and it can smell quite sweet and fruity in a not-totally unpleasant way. Sheep shit is fairly benign, but the high chlorophyll content means it stains like a muthafucka. Bird poo is fine cos it's normally err, delivered in small quantities, but it's a bitch if you get it in your hair. Cat turds are awful and these furry fuckers should be extirpated immediately by royal decree, especially the one that poops by our front door all the frigging time. Human baby poo is alright sometimes, but when it's bad, it is truly the most vile of all concoctions.

There is no good shit.

you smoked it all didn't you:-/

Actually a friend of mine - who I lost contact with years ago - had the ambition of being a greyhound trainer. He had a job at a greyhound stables and started at the bottom rung of the ladder, so his job included cleaning out the stables, if he had a job title it would have literally been something like "shit shoveller"! Anyway, according to him greyhound shit is the worst. They have diarrhea all the time, and the food they feed them to keep them in racing condition just makes it even worse. He said he would come home from work and find shit in his hair [he was white but had shoulder length dreads], up his sleeves, in his ears, etc..

Dude needs some shovel training.

You need to mention badger shit which we have deposited on our front garden every couple of days. That is horrible shit. But not as bad as dog or human.

For some reason squirrel shit is indestructible, not even getting washed away by heavy rain.

Perhaps you could use it as mascara.

Yes - squirrel shit in the woods in autumn is ubernasty, cos after they've been feasting on blackberries, you get these rancid little dollops of PURPLE bum-gravy.

Sheep shit is like these dry pellets, very much like rabbit shit. I'd much rather touch it than any of the other options, because all of the others are runny and sticky.

Sheep shit is wet enough to leave a smear when it's first laid.

That sounds like a line of poetry.

Mind-boggling old-school ILE thread here!

nothing like a thread about fecal matters to bring home the old guard.

shit will bring us together

river deep, mountain high

Would anyone rather touch a stranger's than their own?

a stranger's just a friend you haven't met.

i mean NO.

is it similar to only liking your own farts?

To the exclusion of everything else?

Mice poops are easy to sweep up (no touching involved!) but they do have an aura of pestilence and disease that is decidedly unsavory.
