[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Take a book with you....or start reading the backs of the cleaning products under the sink

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

yeah, pretty sure that's how human life works.

[–] DokPsy@infosec.pub 2 points 5 hours ago

Not if you do it right

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

Not me. Im on copious amounts of drugs that blur reality.

[–] griefreeze@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Kids these days dont even know about disassociating lmao

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 7 hours ago

Nah they do. You see it in lecture halls and speaking events.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

What else were you supposed to do on the bus ride home?

[–] brb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

I had a basket full of comics in the bathroom. I would get stuck there for hours sometimes

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Magazines, books, reading the backs of products, and sometimes people would even use a mirror or two to watch TV on the shitter.

[–] dan1101@lemm.ee 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I used to find some neat patterns in the wood grain on the back of the bathroom door.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 hours ago

Classic. There's the pattern in some ceiling finishes too.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

Wash, rinse, repeat. List of ingredients. Wash rinse repeat

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Mad magazine, Nat Geo, or if all else fails, back of the shampoo bottle.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

We read a book or sat in silence with our thoughts. Most great ideas were created on the toilet.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 7 hours ago

Ewww, reading words from a dead tree? Gross.

maintain eye contact with yourself in the mirrored shower door.

[–] frigidaphelion@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

I was lucky enough to grow up through the gameboy-->DS era so I've always been covered

[–] TheHottub@lemmy.world 30 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

We read the backs of shampoo bottles.

[–] punkaccountant@lemm.ee 8 points 12 hours ago

I fully educated myself about tampon insertion and toxic shock syndrome during trips to the bathroom.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

I got a degree in chemical engineering at Poop U.

[–] BaldManGoomba@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

We were much more use to undistracted time

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Well, before phones made social media conveniently available, people largely had to deposit their shit via telephone, written word, or in person.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

We used to have words printed on paper (the pressed corpses of trees) called books, magazines, and newspapers. They'd bring one of those.

[–] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

I'm curious how old OP is. I still keep a book in the bathroom. It's where I do most of my reading.

[–] thawed_caveman@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Bathroom books are absolutely a thing. My boomer aunt has dozens of Andy Capp booklets.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

The hot fries guy?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago
[–] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 22 points 17 hours ago

Farmers Almanac. Used to come with a pre-drilled hole for hanging on a hook in the outhouse.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 29 points 18 hours ago

Magazine racks. Every home had a small one next to the toilet

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Presumably on a toilet.

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago

Video game instruction manuals

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Spanish people stopped learning greek after smartphones where invented.

Tap for spoilerWe 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.

[–] stelelor@lemmy.ca 5 points 16 hours ago

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.

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 128 points 1 day ago (14 children)

We read the ingredients on shampoo bottles and we liked it!

Huh, this vegan dog shampoo has not been tested on animals.

I feel like that's the one product they should test on animals so that my dog doesn't have to be the guinea pig.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 1 points 10 hours ago

I always thought "tested on animals" meant they would shampoo the dog.. which made sense because they have a lot of hair lol

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 8 points 19 hours ago

Magazines and we read the ingredient list of bottles, like bleech.
