Dr. Bronner’s magic soap label
I’m middle aged and I’m still only half way through that saga
Take a book with you…or start reading the backs of the cleaning products under the sink
I still have my OG gameboy w/ Tetris near the toilet
My grandparents had like a basket full of magazines, comic books, etc beside the toilet. It was pretty good. They often buy weekly reader’s digest and stuff like that. So it was usually new every time we visit.
you stare at a wall.
Try it next time.
Just rawdogging reality.
yeah, pretty sure that’s how human life works.
Not if you do it right
Not me. Im on copious amounts of drugs that blur reality.
We didn’t have to poop back then. The act of pooping was invented by Larry Smartphone, who also happened to invent the smartphone. They were released together originally as a bundle but everyone has both nowadays anyways and you can mix and match.
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.
Kids these days dont even know about disassociating lmao
Nah they do. You see it in lecture halls and speaking events.
We read the backs of shampoo bottles.
I fully educated myself about tampon insertion and toxic shock syndrome during trips to the bathroom.
I got a degree in chemical engineering at Poop U.
We read a book or sat in silence with our thoughts. Most great ideas were created on the toilet.
Ewww, reading words from a dead tree? Gross.
I had a basket full of comics in the bathroom. I would get stuck there for hours sometimes
Magazine racks. Every home had a small one next to the toilet
We used to have words printed on paper (the pressed corpses of trees) called books, magazines, and newspapers. They’d bring one of those.
I’m curious how old OP is. I still keep a book in the bathroom. It’s where I do most of my reading.
Bathroom books are absolutely a thing. My boomer aunt has dozens of Andy Capp booklets.
The hot fries guy?
Farmers Almanac. Used to come with a pre-drilled hole for hanging on a hook in the outhouse.
I was lucky enough to grow up through the gameboy–>DS era so I’ve always been covered
