Someone please explain this to me

So, say you're busy or occupied or for whatever reason can't get up, and you find yourself struck with the urgent sense that you must go to the bathroom immediately. Only, you can't. So you tough it out, miraculously not soiling yourself, and when you're finally free to get up and use the loo...you don't have to anymore. Um...where did it go? Just curious.

either

a) your body decided to ignore the stimulus

or

b) you peed your pants

But how is it TOTALLY EFFING IMPOSSIBLE for my body to ignore the stimulus in the first place but then it just changes its mind? I don't get that.

And B) why would I pee my pants from having to poop?

you mean you pooped you pants too?

there are a lot of factors that determine which signals and how strong a signal gets to the brains. i think you might get a stronger urge to go when you kidneys are dumping more stuff into your bladder; the stretching of your bladder might produce a stronger signal. if your bladder doesnt stretch any more for a while, your bladder might become desensitized.

yknow, if you wear depends around the office, you wouldnt have to worry about getting up to go. that's what the astronauts do.

It just gets recycled back into your system. Your body is now 1% poop.
