Why does sh!t stink? I'm serious.

[Jhill]

I have been wondering why your sh!t stinks so bad? I was thinking that if I mixed up everything I ate and drank for 2 days in a big bowl and let it sit there for 12-18 hours it still wouldn't smell that bad. How does it get that awful smell?

Man, you just made my day. Thanks for 10 minutes of a good laugh. I don't know why it stinks. But it sure does!

Maybe because its the one thing we DONT want in our body? We let it out for a reason. If it smelled delicious, we'd probably eat it right back up.

Usually I have a few beers and I think about dumb things. Tonight I was sober and I had a moment of clarity.

Why does poop stink?
Poop stinks as a result of the products of bacterial action. Bacteria produce smelly, sulfur-rich organic compounds such as indole, skatole, and mercaptans, and the inorganic gas hydrogen sulfide. These are the same compounds that give farts their odor.

I asked jeeves.

It's not so much that it intrinsically smells bad. It's just that we have been naturally selcted to be repulsed by it. All the sh!t eaters died off way back and we're what's left.
