Current Events > Your theory on how the 3 seashells work?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I like Epic Voice Guy's theory best.

Nobody knows how they work, in universe or out. That's why nobody dares touch each other, they all walking around with poop hands.

They're actually still-living, genetically engineered clams. You tap on the top of them, they eat the shit. You need three of them because they get full really quickly.

I think most people are envisioning 3 scallop or clam shells when he says 3 seashells but technically he didn't specify.

It makes more sense when you realize these are the shells he was talking about.

Disgusting. Big red flag from tc.

I just assumed they were buttons and not physical things you pick up, that functioned like a multi-cycle bidet with a dryer.

I liked his 4th theory that every reataurant is Taco Bell so everyone just pees out of their butt.

I think the writers revealed how they work, and it was stupid. If I remember correctly

You use two like castanets and grab the poop and pull it out, then the third is for scraping things clean. I cant remember what you do with them after that.

They already explained it

This. Must. End!

No that was a fan mockup. The official explanation from the writers is that there is no explanation.

It's a bidet

They adjust water direction, strength, and temperature

How they work was once revealed by Stallone in a 2006 interview, explaining that a writer told him '...you hold two seashells like chopsticks, pull gently and scrape whats left with the third.' It's hard to say if such a technique would actually work in reality, which is to say nothing of how the shells themselves would be cleaned after usage. On reflection, it's easy to see why it's not one of the world-building elements that received clarification as per the contactless high-five Demolition Man explained.

If you doubt Stallone remember in his own words

That's what Stallone said.

The actual explanation is the writer literally called his friend while he was taking a shit and asked about his bathroom and he said "uhh I've got a bag of seashells in here as decoration" and the rest was history.

There was never an explanation for how to use them.

Well he said one of the writers told him that so it is hard to say for sure. I mean just because the idea came from a bag of shells doesnt mean the writers never tried to think of ideas on how it could work. Sadly only the writers know for sure.
