Still future yes, but is usually used to indicate intention rather than decisions. “I will shit soon” and “I am going to shit” both mean basically the same thing but the connotations of those sentences are slightly different.

Ah, but shit isn’t always a verb, it’s also a noun… 💩
So is run and jump.
Nouns don’t need tenses.
Shit in the future and shit in the past.
Very true, but still…

Doesn’t matter anyways, I’m just talking crap LOL!
Future shit will not stink.
