According to these rules, males should use restrooms as quickly as possible, maximize physical separation from each other when using urinals, flush urinals when they contain concentrated urine, avoid stalls with unflushed toilets, and avoid eye contact and communication with others.
1 poop per day at 12 minutes each would be 4,380 minutes per year, or 73 hours per year. The average life expectancy is 79 years old, so multiply 73 hours by 79 years to get 5,767 hours. Then convert that number to days and you get around 240 days. You heard it here, folks.
