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.
Dr. Bronner’s magic soap label
I’m middle aged and I’m still only half way through that saga
Magazine racks. Every home had a small one next to 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.
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.
Wash, rinse, repeat. List of ingredients. Wash rinse repeat
Mad magazine, Nat Geo, or if all else fails, back of the shampoo bottle.
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.
Take a book with you…or start reading the backs of the cleaning products under the sink
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.
LOL. Playboy magazine. 70% was real articles. When you weren’t pooping you wood use the other 15%.
I mostly watch pornhub for the storyline and character development dynamics trust me bro.
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.
Kids these days dont even know about disassociating lmao
Nah they do. You see it in lecture halls and speaking events.
Video game instruction manuals
Well, before phones made social media conveniently available, people largely had to deposit their shit via telephone, written word, or in person.
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.
