Been pooping today and my poop was black which had me worried. Normally it's never black unless I'm drinking. So in a panic I googled it and of course you get all the same looking medical sites that alert you that you have severe stomach bleeding and are going to die at any second.

So I do what everyone is forced to do, add "reddit" to the end of my search term, and what do you know? It's the same shit on reddit. Someone has black stool and some redditor called "fartboxpuncher" tells them they're dying.

You have to dig through like 60 something same replies until you find someone who actually did have black stool and who's partner is a nurse. They said wait it out 24 hours and see if it doesn't go away, or it might be something you're eating.

Sucks that people are forced to put up with the highest upvoted "answers" being copy pasted from medline2line247.online.biz and not from someone with like actual first-hand advice.

And that's not to even mention the AI results which probably would tell me I'm turning into a lizard and I should drink gasoline.

    CW: Abuse

    My now-wife was previously in an abusive relationship and asked on the relationshipadvice sub for, well, relationship advice about this and all the redditors told her it was in her head, her fault, she needs to learn to work with him, etc. So yeah fuck that website and everybody who frequents it.

      Had a similar experience

      CW Abuse

      I forget which subreddit it was, but I was talking about how I had finally made the decision to get out of an abusive relationship and break up with them. I was super anxious about it because I had been in the situation for over a year. Almost all the responses I got were saying I must have been the bad guy for being the one to break things off.

      redditors when a man gets into a minor disagreement with their partner: you need to dump her brooo, you deserve so much better!
