Number 2 on the App Store: a social network for pooping

Look, we know you’ve taken your iPhone into the bathroom with you for number two. Everyone has. That doesn’t mean you should tell people about it. But a new app, charmingly called Pooductive, is for just that. It’s dedicated to facilitating meaningful, anonymous conversation on the toilet about… you can guess the topic.

Pooductive is the brainchild (turdchild?) of developer Ricardo Gruber: a social network for people who are pooping at exactly the same time. You can either group chat with a universe of poopers, or else be matched one-on-one with other toilet-users locally or globally. If you choose local chat, you can specify how ‘local’ you want to get: next stall, or between 0 and 250 kilometers.

Here’s how the Pooductive website describes the app:

A place of magic and wonder where people from all 7 kingdoms can meet to seek refuge and enjoy their time of zen, peace and quite together, by conversing, philosophising and sharing ideas with each other…whilst sitting on their iron thrones

The ‘best’ little touch? Outside of chatting, Pooductive will ask you to find a song that describes the quality and consistency of your poop, and broadcast it. I recommend Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot” or Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” personally.

Pooductive has had a labored delivery. Originally, the app looked for crowdsourcing help on Kickstarter, where it hoped to raise a staggering $16,000 to fund the app. At the end of the day, they got only three donations, but the app came to the App Store anyway, where it’s a free download.
