I was taking a monster shit when all of the sudden my desktop slipped into the toilet. What the fuck do I do?

stick it up your bum

serious answer: dont turn it on, take out the parts if you know how to re-assemble it, so they dry faster and wait for at least 3 days leaving it in a dry environment

A desktop? You're just sorta fucked. Open it up, dry everything the best you can. You're going to likely need to replace the motherboard and the power supply, at a minimum. Your processor and RAM might also be trash.

Invest in a laptop or a phone to shit with. All the better if you have a designated shitting laptop/phone so all the shit particles on them don't get everywhere else.

Happens to us all. Grow some more fat so you have a shield when pooping while playing MMOs. You don't wanna waste any time getting away from your pc to use the bathroom, but you must be smarter.

Get a bigger computer, put it in a giant Zip-Loc bag. Or buy an iPad with a waterproof casing like a normal sped and never worry about it again

As long as it is nearly immediately powered down/has the battery removed, it is more recoverable than you might think. You basically need to use a solvent that is dielectric and will also flash off at room temperature. Use that to flush every nook and cranny of water. While there are better theoretical solvents, rubbing alcohol is cheap, readily available, and isn't essentially cancer in liquid form. 99% is preferred. If it's particularly mineralized water, low quality solvent, or you've done this a few times, mineral buildup might happen causing shorts/faults. In which case I recommend a USB microscope, some nice plastic/dielectric tools, and the hands of a surgeon. It's fucking tedious. However it's pretty straightforward. Look for the shitstains, saturate them in solvent, and gently scrape them away. Success with this process has been a matter of patience for me. I've never had one that got flushed/cleaned completely and didn't at least work long enough to back it up.
