The chemicals maybe, I don’t know which ones. I’m not a poop or perm expert.
Search ammonia and sulfur smells in bowel movements, and see if any typical causes match your current dietary habits or medical status/medications including supplements. If they don’t, see a doctor, then get to a gastroenterologist, if you can. Maybe just do that, anyway. Regular checks, and digestive health are extremely important, regardless of weird poo and especially because of weird poo, no matter how uncomfortable, it’s more comfortable than the alternative.

Sometimes my dog takes a shit that smells exactly like Nair.
Now that you mention it, I did have some kibble last night…
Just kibble? Who eats JUST kibble, but not the bits??? That’s like eating lucky charms without the marshmellows.
N… No?
No.
No, I’m pretty sure I haven’t.I worked at a paper mill shutdown one time. I ended up sleeping in my truck for four days in the parking lot because all the local places were full. It was a short shutdown so I took the first layoff and drove to a the next job. After I got a shower and something to eat my first shit smelled like a paper mill. The prompts that take me back to the ‘good old days’.
Paper Mill Shit should be a Yankee Candle.

So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn’t return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.
The idea that you should rush to a doctor if your poop smells different amuses me
If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, so yeah that’s definitely a red flag.
The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.
I mean no doubt, the bar to visit a doctor for me is just higher than that. It would take a while for me to visit a doctor over a different smell. But I have the bar pretty high, admittedly.
Yeah fair enough. I couldn’t even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically ‘if I die I die’, so I definitely get it.
But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

Sadly, John McAfee has passed.
Unsure if you mean the guy named John McAfee, or if you decided to name your turd and that’s what you landed on. There’s a solid case to be made for either!
Calling it solid is being generous.
I picked the wrong week to stop huffing hairspray.
Yes. But only after eating cut hair with perm chemicals.
I’ve noticed that it sometimes smells like epoxy glue. I wonder if we’re thinking of the same scent.
Perms and hair removal products both contain chemicals that smell like sulfur, often described as “like rotten eggs” (my experience with rotten eggs is miniscule so I can’t confirm). Cruciferous vegetables contain sulfur, as do eggs of course. Thinking back on what you ate, remember it could be more than 24 hours ago, or it could be gas from tonight getting ahead of the poop.
Some diseases can also make poop smell different so it’s worth trying to come up with a more accurate description before searching the Internet. Also take into account how you feel in general.
Now we’re shitposting
I’ve had poops that smelled bad enough to give perms to anyone in range. Does that count?
i’ve been to a hair salon that smelled like shit, does that count?
