Daily Dump

Back in my youth (roughly 2 years ago) a few friends and I used to occasionally send each other pictures of our dumps. It was a once every two to four weeks thing and the key was to write a funny caption to go along with your dump. Textbook dumps aren’t that funny, so you needed a weird looking or impressive looking fecal creation and a funny or witty comment to go along with it.

A few examples that I remember:

“Who flushed the cat down the toilet? Meow!”

“I re-created the asteroid belt.”

During the midst of these exchanges my friend Tyler came up with an idea. He wanted to take a dump every day for an entire year, take a picture of it, and post it to a website called dailydump.com. He thought it would be fascinating to view the variation in one person’s plops throughout the course of a year. Let the record show that Ty’s dumps would be worth checking out for an entire year. Some of his execratory efforts were so impressive that I was convinced that they were fake.

Unfortunately this idea never gained too much traction, although I still think it’s very intriguing. If I had a month or two to fully devote myself to making this idea happen here’s what I’d do.

Obviously it wouldn’t be enough to just post the picture of the daily dump(s), but that would still be the focal point of the site. Every year (maybe month) there would be a different dumper, who would chronicle their daily bouts with the toilet. I’d want them to write about what they ate in-between trips to the restroom, when they first felt the urge to dump, where they dumped, if anyone else was in the bathroom, how the wipe went, what the dump smelled like, etc.

Along with the daily dumper’s pictures and posts I’d also have other bloggers contributing content to the site.

1.) Facturds (a terrible play on the word Factoids)- There’s plenty of remarkable poop related information out there. As you know I have a daily calendar called “What’s Your Poo Telling You?” that gives me poop/pee/fart related information every morning. I would characterize about 1 of every 5 days as legitimately interesting (as I’ve posted before) and that kind of information would be routinely posted on the site. For example, did you know that the average fart speed is 10 feet per second or 6.8 miles per hour?

2.) Flushing out the News- Poop related stories pop up in the news more often than you’d think. For example, a few years back then Yankees pitcher Chan Ho Park explained his bad performance by saying this…



3.) Reader interaction- This portion of the site would ask readers to vote/comment on various polls (over/under, wiping style, etc.) and to share their poop stories.


Monetizing a website is never easy, but if there truly was a niche for this kind of thing wouldn’t it only seem fitting for companies like Scott’s and Febreze to advertise on the site?
