I still have my OG gameboy w/ Tetris near the toilet
Magazines, books, reading the backs of products, and sometimes people would even use a mirror or two to watch TV on the shitter.
I used to find some neat patterns in the wood grain on the back of the bathroom door.
Classic. There’s the pattern in some ceiling finishes too.
Wash, rinse, repeat. List of ingredients. Wash rinse repeat
Mad magazine, Nat Geo, or if all else fails, back of the shampoo bottle.
you stare at a wall.
Try it next time.
Just rawdogging reality.
yeah, pretty sure that’s how human life works.
Not me. Im on copious amounts of drugs that blur reality.
Not if you do it right
I had a basket full of comics in the bathroom. I would get stuck there for hours sometimes
We read the ingredients on shampoo bottles and we liked it!
Dr. Bronners has enough stuff on it to read for 30 mins.
And it gave you your daily dose of crazy in the pre-Internet age.
Kids today don’t even know what’s in their shampoo anymore
I know, right?
Sodium Laureth Sulfate.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Laureth. Lauryl. Laureth. Lauryl.
What? Is? The DEAL?
Better go to the library to look it up in an encyclopedia!
Eh, it’s fine. I trust the suave company. I’m sure they make a perfectly fine product of salon quality that won’t dry out or otherwise damage my hair or skin.
Um, it’s Sodium Yanny Sulfate
Is this a Wake reference?
My skin doesn’t like it and it’s fucking everywhere.
If you want to wash anything without it you have to go in two buy your soap from one of those shops where people smell funny and dress bit too casual.
Bathroom readers, magazines, and Readers digest.
chicken soup for the soul
Ah so that’s why they’re going bankrupt now!
Methylchloroisothiazolonone
Oops got stuck in another lather, rinse, repeat loop
Spanish people stopped learning greek after smartphones where invented.
Tap for spoiler
We used to read shampoo bottles that where usually shipped in Spain with labels in four languages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Greek. So it was always funny to try to see how things were written in greek while pooping.
I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.
We had a little basket thingy with books and magazines. Stuff like Calvin & Hobbes, I Spy books, Popular Science magazines, etc.
Every year for Christmas our father would get new content for the toilet library. Usually from Walter Moers’ Little Asshole series. Good times.
Magazines and we read the ingredient list of bottles, like bleech.
We’d look through the bathroom window, there was always something funny going on. Such as packs of velociraptors fighting each other, or a mastodon causing wreck on the neighbour’s garden.
In our pants. Toilets came out around the same time as smartphones, so it’s been a pretty revolutionary couple of decades around here.
Good ole Reader’s Digest.
Pooping shouldn’t be a drawn-out process. You’re better off keeping your toilet time to less than 10 to 15 minutes, says Gregory Thorkelson, M.D., a psychiatrist in the department of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh.
In fact, you should only make your way to the bathroom when the urge hits.
If the urge to poop isn’t there, you might be tempted to push or strain to try to get the job done.
And all that straining could lead to the development of hemorrhoids—bulging blood vessels around your anus that can become swollen and painful or even bleed.

That seems, I’m not sure the word, but not correct. You can find a doctor (any professional) to say anything.
I bring my phone and keep a book in the bathroom because I’m NOT straining. I sit down, and while gravity is doing its thing to my guts, I read a chapter. I’m not rushing or pushing or popping hemorrhoids because I’m on my phone writing a stupid comment about pooping while pooping.
I don’t think Dr Greg knows how people are using their phones in the bathroom. People aren’t reading the back of shampoo bottles because they’re in a hurry.
That’s weird. I read comments in political posts because the straining from the rage really seems to help when i don’t have an urge at all.
series of mirrors displaying the tv in the living room
In recent times, by reading. Before that, i think most people pooped faster than we do due to better digestable foods
And before that, pooping was a social function .
They’re not going anymore, they’re sitting there arguing over who has to go get some toilet paper
No need for toilet paper 😅
Huh. It’s like a bidet, but worse
Shampoo bottle label, obviously.
