They’ve been very cagey about their reasons, so naturally the comments are split between making the worst/most hilarious assumptions, making jokes, and actual helpful advice.

    I love dark humor and I have to - regretfully!! - confess that I do not get it. What?? How is someone wanting to not poop for days related to the submarine? Is it just that they didn’t have a bathroom on board because they didn’t anticipate being gone that long?

    I am genuinely so sorry to ask! I know explaining kills the joke, and I don’t mind if you don’t answer because you don’t want to kill it, I’m okay with not getting it.

      I mean, it was dark humour, but as I read it, the comment was about those people trying to survive on that tiny sub for several days before they could be rescued, with no extra food, no toilet and no space.

        They did have a toilet behind a small curtain and they would play music while it was being used. They were encouraged to use it as little as possible. So, yeah, OP could be making a joke about that.
        Or it’s someone going on a camping trip who doesn’t want/can’t use public toilets.
