Eating pooping?

Isn’t it a bit too much?

There’s something sticking out of you while you’re in private. It’s poop! You can’t just poop in public, that’s illegal and gross in this day and age. So the next time something starts to come out of you when you’re in private, think, “Ah yes, it’s poop.”

There is something small in some poop. You lean in, carefully pull it out, and realize it’s a thread. Why is there some thread in this small poop? Because it’s cat poop. And cats love to eat thread when you aren’t looking. And floss and hoodie strings and mouse tails. But this poop just has thread in it.

You have some thread… what’s the first thing you do with it? You take it and put it in your mouth, and start sucking it down like spaghetti. You have decided to eat (いと) the thread.

I’m with you on this, OP. Poop jokes stopped being funny when I was about twelve.

Honestly different mnemonics work for everyone, the ones you think are dumb you can just try to think of a different one. Rename the radical in your head, make it a synonym, then use that to remember the kanji. I’ve found the more vulgar ones stick in my brain really well though.

For me it was around 13. Ever since then they’ve stopped being funny and are now down outright hilarious. I listen to poop joke compilations every night before bed in Japanese for immersion

Well, it’s only logical that you have such a Vanilla sense of humour.
