i unironically shit like once a week, maybe two times a week max. so i don't understand what the fuss is all about
Despite what the other comments say, this can be perfectly acceptable if this is has always been usual for you.
Yep, normal range is 3x a day to every 3 days. More or less is possible but that should be checked by a doctor. If it was always once every 5-7 days it's probably nothing and normal for you. If something changes about the rhythm then go see a doctor and that can mean you're one of the once every 3 days people and now you poop daily. Even if it's inside the range, go see a doctor!
And one myth: if your body is the slow type like every 2-3 days or even 3-5 days fibre and stuff won't help, it's just a heavier poop (in weight) after 5 days than usual.
