[QUOTE]The Bank of Japan just lit a fire under the already-hot dollar-yen trade.
A surprise move Friday to supercharge the central bank's quantitative easing program sent the yen tumbling as much as 2.5 percent to a six-year low of 111.89 against the dollar.
That's on top of an 11 percent fall in the last year, driven by easy policy in Japan implemented to fight deflation and a sluggish economy, setback even further by a planned increase in the nation's consumption tax.[/QUOTE]

Is 1 yen the smallest you can go? If so, is comparing yen to the dollar accurate? Or would comparing yen to pennies be more accurate?
yen to pennies is probably a more accurate comparison, but the yen is smaller than a penny so idk
[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_yen_note"]The 1000 yen note (¥1000) is currently the lowest value yen banknote[/URL]
Each 1000 yen note is worth $8.94 USD. I usually triple-fold my toilet paper, making each wipe cost $26.82. I need to wipe an average of four times per poop, meaning one poop would cost $107.28 USD. I poop an average of once every 1.5 days, which makes it 4.66 times a week. That is $493.488 USD a week.

You need more fibre in your diet
Maybe you should wipe your ass with cheaper paper and eat more fibre instead.
Now, this is just on an average, with no excess chocolate consumption (which I am allergic to but still eat, causing excess bowel movement) or major alcohol consumption (which increases my net. poopage for one day to three to four times normal levels). If we factor in these, we can safely say that I either eat chocolate or get drunk once every other week, adding an average of 3 poop-sessions on a bi-weekly basis, or 1.5 poops a week. This means we can add an additional $160.92 to my weekly yen-wipe budget, when we count non-bowel-health-optimized diet.
haha compared to the old German marks...

you average 4 wipes a poop? do you shit vaseline?
[QUOTE=Ryz0;46401000]you average 4 wipes a poop? do you shit vaseline?[/QUOTE]
Three wipes to get it clean, and then a fourth 'control-wipe' which really isn't needed for anything since it returns a clean sheet.

You know you can wipe more than once with a sheet, right? First the middle, then every corner. You obviously can't do a big wiping motion (unless you want to get shit on your hands), but five smaller strokes save paper and it's quicker as well. I shit a lot so obviously I want to be efficient.
Edit:
I would like to clear up that the corners are clean before each individual wipe. It's hard to explain, but trust me - I wouldn't do this if I used shit to wipe shit off.

You can use this to wipe your nose.
[QUOTE=Ryz0;46401000]you average 4 wipes a poop? do you shit vaseline?[/QUOTE]
I average around five or six. The last two are contingency wipes to clear out the very last remnants and to give me confidence that I won't get track marks. Haven't had track marks in decades.

1 up, 1 down, 1 to polish.
[QUOTE=Rubs10;46400753]Is 1 yen the smallest you can go? If so, is comparing yen to the dollar accurate? Or would comparing yen to pennies be more accurate?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, comparing yen to pennies is more accurate. Everything in Japan is priced accordingly, as well. Instead of saying "ten dollars" they say "one thousand pennies," essentially. They just don't have an equivalent word for "dollar" like we do. 100 pennies turns in to one dollar for us, but for them 100 yen just stays 100 yen. It's kinda weird, and I sometimes wonder why they haven't adopted an equivalent system.
1 dollar = 111 yen is a damn fine exchange rate for figure-buying weebs like me, by the way. :v:
[QUOTE=QwertySecond;46401073]1 up, 1 down, 1 to polish.[/QUOTE]
Excatly. One scooping upwards-motion, one wiping downwards, followed by one wiping upwards and a final control-wipe which should, if all goes well, return blank.
Holy shit their money is worth less than ours

Wait... once every 1.5 days is not often enough?
I go like once a week... Should I be concerned?

Problem. You can't divide a seven-day week by 1.5, you'll have to hold it in so we can get a more accurate reading.

how are you alive? it seems ridiculous that there are people that shit just once a week. how do you even live that way?

I once didn't shit for two and a half week. Solid rock came out, I tell you.

Once a week is fucked up.
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;46401316]You should be doing it 3 times over the course of a day assuming you have a regular diet.[/QUOTE]
really? I could see once, with the occasional double poop day, but three times each day?
I like how a throwaway comment about the Yen being like toilet paper has turned into a discussion on bowel movements and buttocks hygiene. :v:
[QUOTE=LoLWaT?;46401316]You should be doing it 3 times over the course of a day assuming you have a regular diet.
If you eat regularly and seriously go only once a week your digestive tract and colon are probably seriously screwed up.
Go see a doctor and sit out a couple of days with a diet filled with natural laxatives.[/QUOTE]
3 times a day is a little much. Once a day is normal, with an additional two number ones.
This thread is fucking going places indeed.
Okay I don't know how the fuck we turned Yen into poop chat central but here we go.
If your bowel movements feel fine, and the waste material itself is fine (not liquid, not rockhard, standard brown color) then you are fine. Everyone's diets are different and we metabolize in different ways, it is strange that you don't go more than once a week, but if you're fine, you're fine. If you really need to look into it, go to a doctor.
This has been another poop chat central podcast, flushing down for the night.

SH in a nutshell.
As long as we are shitposting I like to point out that it's quite likely you go to bathroom far more often than once a week and you just don't remember or take not of it because of how mundane and common activity it is.
Kinda like speculation with currencies.
i poop 3 times a day: 2 times for necessity and 1 time for sport
this thread has shitposting in its truest form
