It's just the universe's way of maintaining balance. Kind of like when humanity invented Olestra and the universe said "ok that's fine, but if you eat a bag of Doritos your ass is going to leak."

I remember there being a comedy site back when olestra was a thing where some dude decided to test how much he'd have to eat before basically shitting himself inside out. He essentially journaled gradually increasing amounts for like a week and a half. If memory serves, it was roughly one whole bag of chips in a day before symptoms began and 2 bags before he hit full on ass leakage.

How many bags before he can submit himself to NASA as a means of interstellar propulsion?

the funny thing is he continued to eat after symptoms started showing
