In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or “aft”, part of the superstructure of a ship

My understanding is you poop at the front of the boat.
Yup. The term ‘head’ as naval lingo for a bathroom derives from this as on old sailing ships the head of the ship above the bow is where the toilets are, so they could overhang the water.
Also any splatter would be washed off while sailing.
Physicists shaking their heads…
If you poop at the rear, the third law of motion indicates that you will help push the boat forward. If you poop at the front it is counterproductive.
Well yes, but only insomuch as it’s more efficient to push vs pull, but if they orient their asses towards the rear they’ve effectively created front poop drive
