    I’ve just thought of another consequence: if the waste is always teleported out, then the muscles of the bladder and the rectum are gonna become dystrophic, while the anal sphincter forgets how to loosen. In addition, the urinary tract might dry out for want of any moisture from the bladder.

    Now imagine that one day your trusty crap teleporter breaks down. You’re stuck with piss and shit filling the bladder and the rectum, while both outlets are plugged from years of disuse and you don’t know anymore how to push the stuff out.

        Indeed. Wait, did you forget that your ship is a minuscule trade boat, and the whole crew is you and another guy, with none of you being specialists in teleporter repair?

        Your bladder and rectum lost their elasticity and volume long ago due to never being filled more than a bit.

        You’re still a day away from your destination.
