The random unflushed turd floating in a public bathroom might have bacteria in it that would improve your health or cure your depression.

Or it could kill you

Excited DIYers running out before doing research: please note that in a medical setting something like half of potential donor poops wind up rejected because of unsuitable bacteria living in the gut that could make you sick.

"What do you do for a living?"

"My poops are the right kind of poops. So doctors pay me to take my poops so others can eat them."

The IRL holy grail is a toilet.

Drink from the wrong one and you forfeit your life in the most horrid of ways.

"They're the best poops. Really, I don't know anyone who has poops as good as me. And all the people, all the doctors, the committees, everyone agrees, everyone knows, my poops are the best. The best for me, the best for America."

Fecal transplants have actually surprising potential.

But yeah there's a lot of dangerous pathogens as well.
