I mean we don't here what happens behind the scense

Is this a real post?

They aren't stuck in their armour. They can and do remove it when they are not on the battle field.

Space marines don't poop because they don't eat, because they're not actually human.

They're just spiritually-infused suits of armor.

I don't know much about Marines but I could see a butt-flap like the ones on footy-pajamas.

The armour has a built-in waste recycler, which transforms body waste into nutrients pumped right back into their bodies to keep 'em going.

At least that's how it worked in the old material - I'm not sure if GW maybe has or has not changed it in the meantime. Also, I don't know what happens to the remains. Realistically, such a process would not have a 100% efficiency; there would still be something left that requires disposal.

You'd be surprised how often I see this one pop up. It's an all-time favourite, together with "can Marines have sex" and "how do Space Marines climb stairs".

you mean you havent seen this?

Well, that explains it.

While wearing their armor, waste is recycled to remove the need for the marine to eat while in a combat operation. Mostly intended in the event of an extended operation that goes way over schedule.

When not wearing their armor they will be like a normal human. They still eat and have normal bodily functions.

Well, the answer depends entirely on whether the marines in question worship Slaanesh or not...

No, this is the sex thread. At least if you're a Slaanesh cultist.

Burned!

And They Shall Know No Bathroom

They eat their own crap. Literally.

SPACE MARIIIIIIIIIIIIIINES!

So cinematic.

And in regards to the "sex" topic: it's a massive sausagefest.

Pretty sure those drop pods have another use after battle.
