World's biggest turd!

Today's shit post (literally) is sponsored by @cmmemes

So..if we are talking about human feces then the record for world's biggest turd goes to a coprolite (essentially a fossilized turd) known as "Lloyds Bank coprolite".

Apparently, it's notable enough to even have a wikipedia page dedicated to it!

Now, that's one big turd! Getting something that big from your ass is the closest thing to a real life herculean feat if you ask me. I'd probably die half way from rectal bleeding 😂

The mighty specimen was excavated in 1972 beneath the site of what was to become the branch of Lloyds Bank on Pavement in York, hence the name.

The Lloyds Bank coprolite is a large coprolite, or fossilised specimen of human faeces, recovered by the York Archaeological Trust while excavating the Viking settlement of Jórvík (present-day York) in northern England

It measures 20 centimetres (8 in) long and 5 centimetres (2 in) wide.

In case you wonder what's the recipe behind producing almighty turds appears to be a diet of meat and bread. And intestinal worms:

Analysis of the stool has indicated that its producer subsisted largely on meat and bread whilst the presence of several hundred parasitic eggs suggests they were riddled with intestinal worms.

Biggest Animal Turd

But what about the biggest animal turd in the animal kingdom?

Well, naturally someone would think of the blue whale, which is the biggest animal to have ever existed. Well, they do poop the most but it's more of a shit show cloud instead of one coherent piece:

The animal with the biggest poop, belongs to the biggest animal that we know of here on earth. And that is the blue whale. So the blue whale creates a giant cloud of poop that is about two hundred liters of waste every time they go. source

Here's a great video about blue whale poop if you wonder how it actually looks like:

Although I couldn't find a definitive answer, the answer for the biggest turd may go to "Barnum", a T-Rex coprolite 🦖 💩

The piece is owned by George Frandsen who owns a huge collection of coprolites, over 1200! Imagine if we brought him to hive. He has enough original material to shit post for years 😂😂🤪🤪🤪

Here's a video of him talking about Barnum and some other pieces from his collection

Ok, I think that's enough shit for today!
