    Always a good idea to stash some light reading in the bathroom for this reason. I recommend das kapital

    When I was a kid, there was nothing but the shampoo bottles and soap labels.

    I knew words like “jojoba” and “finesse” long before I ever learned how to pronounce them.

    Eventually, my brother stashed some Mad magazines in there, and I was grateful.

    If you didn’t mind reading this, you’ve done this before.

      Nothing like a list of ingredients to get the bowels going.

    It helps to always have a podcast in the background as a secondary source of stimulation

    what is wrong with you all that you’re attention span is so short you can’t just sit for 5 minutes also don’t take your phone in the bathroom it’s disgusting if you have to do something have a dedicated toilet book I guess that never leaves there but don’t take your phone it’s filthy

      What’s so filthy about taking your phone, it’s not like I’m using it after I wipe my ass

      I can’t go if I’m not physically reading something, it’s like an instant laxative. I don’t know why but It’s not an attention span thing since I’m never in there for more than a minute(since reading makes me go so fast). I don’t even get to the end of the shampoo label.

      This feels awfully intimate to be sharing on Lemmy, I kind of feel closer to you guys now. I also read this while in there too which feels kind of poignant in its own way.

    • 5 minutes?! Even if I’m about to shit myself (which isn’t too uncommon because I’m lactose intolerant and always forget xP) it always takes me at least half an hour

      But I only bring my phone if I’m doing something on it and don’t want to wait half an hour doing nothing, normally I just let my mind entertain itself x3

      Also that would only be filthy if you don’t wash your hands in which case everything you do will be filthy inside and outside the bathroom

      I don’t even have time to do anything while shitting. When I get to the toilet it will just come out.

      the attention span part isn’t even true, also try punctuation.

      also also, literally everything is filthy. your phone probably has the worst germs on it, even if you didn’t take it to the toilet.
