Dr. Bronner’s magic soap label
Magazines, books, reading the backs of products, and sometimes people would even use a mirror or two to watch TV on the shitter.
There used to be racks/baskets dedicated to hold magazines in the toilet…
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.
We used to have words printed on paper (the pressed corpses of trees) called books, magazines, and newspapers. They’d bring one of those.
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.
Our bathroom door has a built-in magazine rack dating back to the 70s. It holds phones pretty well too.
“Door”!? I live in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment, but even I can’t reach a door from the toilet…
In my house the bathroom door’s swing takes up about 1/3rd of the bathroom and the door slams into the toilet when it opens. So if someone (like a cat) swings the door open suddenly while one it pooping, they’re going to walk with a limp for a while.
Farmers Almanac. Used to come with a pre-drilled hole for hanging on a hook in the outhouse.
Kids these days dont even know about disassociating lmao
Nah they do. You see it in lecture halls and speaking events.
series of mirrors displaying the tv in the living room
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.
In our pants. Toilets came out around the same time as smartphones, so it’s been a pretty revolutionary couple of decades around here.
I still have my OG gameboy w/ Tetris near the toilet
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
There used to be a basket full of old National Geographic, Newsweek, and GQ magazines in the bathroom for you and any guests to enjoy.
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.
