Why does poop steam?
Ever noticed on a chilly day how your breath fogs up in the air? Same science, different... ahem, subject. When you poop, especially if it's really warm compared to the surrounding air, it releases warmth and moisture. This moisture condenses when it hits the cooler air, creating that steamy spectacle. So next time you see your poop performing its own little smoke show, just remember: it's all about temperature differences!

It's all about the heat. Poop comes out warm because, well, your body is warm! And when something warm hits cooler air, you get steam. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I think it's kinda like asking why hot food steams. Your body's like an oven, cooking up that meal until it's done and ready to leave the kitchen. Then, voil脿, steamy presentation.
Honestly, it's not that complicated. Warm poop + cold air = steam. It's just physics doing its thing.
