We need more detailed explanations of each.
The pictures are too vague.

What should my stools look like?
The type of stool or faeces depends on the time it spends in the colon. After you pass faeces, what you see in the toilet bowl is basically the result of your diet, fluids, medications and lifestyle. You can use the Bristol Stool Chart to check what your stools are telling you.

The Bristol Stool Chart shows seven categories of stool. Every person will have different bowel habits, but the important thing is that your stools are soft and easy to pass – like types 3 and 4 below.

Type 1–2 indicate constipation
Type 3–4 are ideal stools as they are easier to pass, and
Type 5–7 may indicate diarrhoea and urgency.

Can't remember the last time my Number 2 was a Number 4.

This morning's movement looks like it will be a short showing of Type 2, followed by intermittent type 5 through most of the day. Later in the afternoon there is a likelihood of a torrential downpour of Type 7 , when you least expect it.
Its going to be a messy day, folks. So remember to wear those adult diapers, and don't trust those farts.
