Physicists confirm accuracy of poop emoji

To quote from one report:

The poop emoji has long been the butt of countless jokes, but it turns out the little swirl isn’t a load of crap. According to physicists, the smiling pile is surprisingly faithful to the way gravity shapes the real thing.

A new study published in Nature Communications has found that the iconic soft-serve shape of the emoji closely matches how feces naturally coil when expelled under gravity. Researchers from the University of Amsterdam, Wageningen University & Research, and CNRS concluded that the familiar tapered mound is governed not by biology alone, but by a physical principle known as elastic rope-coiling theory.
