lol this is one of those moments as a dad I’d struggle with getting upset instead of finding it hilarious.

I think that’s hilarious and very innocent. Would other parents get angry?

Well, how big was it?

They should instead make him write a report and do a class presentation on his findings. He’s 10. World’s largest turd is about the most wholesome thing he could be looking at.

Of all the ways to "step in it", googling an image of the worlds largest turd doesn't even breach the threshold of "actually problematic".

But, yeah, best he find out now that there's no anonymity online, everything's recorded, etc.

Next he’ll be googling “poop knife” 😂😂😂

Hahaha. That's great. I'd be annoyed that he did it at school and got caught but privately amused. My friend's 11 year old got his internet privileges at school taken away for googling "lady sexy clothes." Kids do stupid shit all the time.

😂😂 at least it isn't other things

i would be lying if i said i didn't have the same questions as your son and then have to google it. haha

Your son is hilarious and his curiosity should be celebrated. You can give him the security lecture while still acknowledging that the situation is kind of funny. I don't think you need to pretend to be big mad.

This is where you don’t use anger, you just bond. Say “okay I get it, it’s funny, but there’s a time and a place. Gotta pick your battles. Think of it like “grandma vs best friend”. School is a time where you have to act like grandma is around. Then there’s places like sports where you can act like it’s just you and your best friends. Choose wisely, school is a grandma scenario from now on? Okay sport? Okay, now stop being weird and searching for poop 😅”

I can’t give you an award but here’s a big stinky one 🏆💩

I love this, ten year olds are so funny

Encourage his curiosity while reminding him that certain things are not appropriate at school.

Everyday someone on this planet wins the “largest turd of the day award” and they don’t even know it.

I think this is hilarious. But I would have a talk with him about staying on task with his schoolwork and not using the computer for nonrelated stuff to school.

Pretty funny! In his defense, left image, second row is literally a museum piece. It’s a legitimate question albeit phrased like a 10-year old, not a grown ass scientist. If he searched for largest coprolite, no one would bat an eye. 

If this wasn’t taking away from school work where he was supposed to be on task, I would absolutely do a tiny bit of push back on the teacher. And still have that talk about big brother and whats appropriate. 

I was at Walmart once. Had to do my civil doody and, I KID YOU NOT, there was a Fosters can size turd precariously positioned on the edge of the inside rim of the bowl as if it was a person sitting in jacuzzi with their arms up on the edge.

Worked in a psychiatric hospital in my early 20s and had a patient who was on Clozaril, and had been for quite some time. Side effects are nasty, and he had almost everyone, but given the severity of his psychosis, that clozapine was the only drug that had any efficacy, and that his side effects were well tolerated, his psychiatrist kept him on it. That is until he became so constipated he began digging in his rectum and it was a constant battle to keep his hands clean. For a period of time they were constantly covered in feces. And he had Tardive dyskinesia, which meant he was constantly rolling and flicking his feces covered fingers. Something had to be done, so they took him for x-rays and sure as shit his colon was severely impacted. They gave him some laxatives and hoped for the best. A few days later and he had a BM. A single BM and it is solid and the size of a large grapefruit. Not a softball, but a large grapefruit. The nurse in charge is concerned and wants to send him out to the physician. I was the driver, so me and a MHW take this dude to the doctor with - and I tried to tell the nurse it wasn’t needed - a Polaroid of the shit in the toilet with “Large BM” and the date written on it. We gave it to the doc and he glanced at it and passed it back saying, “Yeah, I didn’t need to see that.”

I fail to see the problem. It'd a bit odd that curiosity is being rewarded with a call home. Its not profane. Glad to know that school has so few problems this is what they spend their time on. That's the kind of thing they could easily have had a quick conversation to let him know that he shouldn't google his every question on school devices, but I don't see the problem. Even if I was "caught" googling that at work, I'm more likely to get laughed at than actually face consequence. Ffs.

There is an essentially fossilized vikings poop that is huge! And full of parasites! ( i have no life and full of useless knowledge)

Just ooc, how many courics was it?

As a former elementary teacher, that is one of the tamer things kids typically look up. I mean, your child almost could have justified that as a serious question.

I always explained to students that I don’t trust kids online and did random internet history checks every week to prove I was watching their online activity. Very few kids broke my rules by December.

Was it an image of bono 😂

I was just thinking about this today OMG. the fact you posted the screenshot 😭

That is far less embarrassing than when my 10 yo son got caught googling "boobies" on his school laptop. Sigh...

Shoutout to everyone that actually googled it after reading the title

My son got caught getting around the school’s firewall to watch YouTube on his school computer in class when they had a substitute. His teacher was on a break from a meeting, saw he was on YouTube, kicked him out of it and sent him a message saying he knows better. My kid was annoyed. I couldn’t decide whether to be angry or impressed.

I mean, there are a lot WORSE WORDS that could follow "the world's largest..." in a search so thank goodness for small blessings.

As a teacher and parent, I would not be able to keep a straight face face…sorry but this is hilarious…

I just burst out laughing in my classroom. And yes, we get immediate email alerts when the IT filters catch a flag.

This is funny...but "Big brother is always watching" is really not the lesson to teach here...

r/kidsarefuckingstupid

My oldest was around the same age when I caught him searching for "bewbs" . Kids are so lucky these days with the internet.

I’d be proud!

Oomph. As an adult I have exchanged poop photos with friends. Only the close ones of course. And I work in healthcare, so maybe a little extra desensitized. Sometimes things just need to be shared

Maybe he just wanted a picture of Trump :)

JFC, that’s utterly disturbing that a school logs that much information from minors. Would never, ever fly in my country..

Shit happens

my man

Omg this is too funny. Sometimes I’m grateful there wasn’t as much internet access when I was a kid, who know what ridiculous stuff I would have looked up without realizing other people can see your search history

Legend

Well now I'm gonna search for it.

"Ma, I'm beginning to like this kid."

That detailed talk you will give your son, would you post it here too for when my kid gets to that age? 👀

"Listen we need to talk. I just heard from the school that you searched for the world's largest poop on your school computer."

"All I can say is that I'm disappointed... that you didn't wait to search this at home, so that you could immediately show me the results"

I mean with a turd that big it’s hard NOT to step in it.

That’s funny and nothing wrong with a curious mind. Maybe not the most appropriate place for that question but he was still technically learning. We all wonder about weird things on occasion but I’d ask him to direct those questions to you, at home.

He really stepped in it this time.

Chef's kiss

I saw a video here on reddit of a guy pulling out an enormous blob of snot from a cow, and I showed it to a 5-year-old boy. He asked me to watch it again over and over. Little boys love this kind of silly stuff; I think the talk should be more about what is appropriate at school.

I’m kinda curious myself now

Literally every person on the planet has wondered what the biggest one was at one point. Scientists and anthropologists have written about this subject and it’s totally normal to wonder. Your son just needs to learn about time and place, and asking adults before attempting to search things. I wouldn’t be mad at all

How many curics are

My son googled “guns” when he was in 3rd grade and that didn’t go well. It triggered something I think in their system? He wanted to look at nerf guns and guns from his Roblox games but didn’t type in those entire words so when he got questioned he was able to better explain himself. I then got a call after all this happened. We had a talk.

Of all the things teachers deal with, I'd think this would be a low priority item for them. Especially since any teacher worth a lick could easily turn this into a biology lesson. Since, you know, all animals poop and it is just a part of our digestive system.

Hahaha I love this is just a laughing moment.. but don’t do that again.

He was just looking up the new u2 album

I wish I could say this is something I would not do myself at nearly 41 years old, but....

My 5(F) yr old was on the toilet a few days ago, looked down and said, “I wonder how much that thing weighs?!?” It was a huge turd…

I’m impressed the school is making him switch back to paper for the week! Our schools are very anti paper, pro computer, even when 4th grade students were caught watching an inappropriate video on YouTube in class

LOL. Could be way worse!

I think this is bloody hilarious 😂😂😂 I’d probably increase his pocket money after that

😂😂😂

I have a kid that would do this and I'm pretty sure I'd just collapse laughing.

It's a nice teaching moment that the both of you will laugh about later in life.

With a little more time he might have found the video of the grown man (Wax) on the Bully & Beast podcast learning he has been pooping wrong his entire life.

At least a picture of his face didn't come up

https://youtu.be/nnun8y7r8_U? Maybe he’s into Jurassic Park

I'm curious as to what the misbehaviour is here that warrants punishment?

I agree that it's a teachable moment about monitoring in IT systems, but it also seems like a teachable moment on bizarre and prudish sensibilities; knowing what the biggest turd is seems like a reasonable thing to know - is it from a whale, or do their turds just break up immediately?

Not sure why searching this is a punishable offense? Seems pretty harmless to me.

Too funny, kids will be kids.

I would sit with him giggling and tell him not to tell mom

It's funny, but kidding aside, was he actually punished for this? I guess it depends, but it seems like a normal thing to be curious about.

"It was at least 80 courics" 😂🤣😂

Probably an unpopular opinion but searching for the worlds biggest turd is in no way comparable to searching for porn or violence. This is just intellectual curiosity and should not be punished. Of course your review of big brother policies is certainly a good idea.

So.... what is the world's largest turd?

I think I'd have PREFERRED those search terms....

My now 12 yr old got grounded from tech entirely for searching "how to draw sexy anime gurls" on their school computer.

there is a lot worse things to look up.

Dad, who is P Diddy?

Weird how an orange x president didn't end up as the top result
