I still have my OG gameboy w/ Tetris near the toilet
What else were you supposed to do on the bus ride home?
you stare at a wall.
Try it next time.
Just rawdogging reality.
yeah, pretty sure that’s how human life works.
maintain eye contact with yourself in the mirrored shower door.
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.
I had a basket full of comics in the bathroom. I would get stuck there for hours sometimes
Kids these days dont even know about disassociating lmao

I was lucky enough to grow up through the gameboy–>DS era so I’ve always been covered
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.
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.
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.
We were much more use to undistracted time
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.
Well, before phones made social media conveniently available, people largely had to deposit their shit via telephone, written word, or in person.
Books.
