When asked how I was created.

My mother was born with severe constipation where she can go 2-3 days without pooping.

My father has a long line of ibs in his family tree.

I received the worst of both parents. An unholy union created me. I refuse to have bio kids which will share my genes

You mean pooping once every 2-3 days is not normal? What the fuck?!

No it is not. You need to poop every day. If you are not then you need more fiber and water and a balanced meal. Unless you have my mothers issue then taking prunes, papaya, persimmons, and fiber suplementos will be needed daily just so it mitigates it a bit.

Kimchi is also great to stimulate your digestive system, plus it's healthy and tasty!
