        More like a postshit than a shitpost.

        Unless the FMT goes thru the mail.

        The first time I heard about it I had the same reaction as damn near everyone, but it really makes a lot of sense

      I would be okay with fixing my gastrointestinal issues and some of my cognitive struggles if I kept my cognitive differences.

        Same, I have zero desire to think like a neurotypical. I don’t wanna be an NPC.
