We read the backs of shampoo bottles.
Farmers Almanac. Used to come with a pre-drilled hole for hanging on a hook in the outhouse.
Video game instruction manuals
We used to have words printed on paper (the pressed corpses of trees) called books, magazines, and newspapers. They’d bring one of those.
Magazine racks. Every home had a small one next to the toilet
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.
In our pants. Toilets came out around the same time as smartphones, so it’s been a pretty revolutionary couple of decades around here.
Magazines and we read the ingredient list of bottles, like bleech.
Pooping shouldn’t be a drawn-out process. You’re better off keeping your toilet time to less than 10 to 15 minutes, says Gregory Thorkelson, M.D., a psychiatrist in the department of gastroenterology, hepatology, and nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh.
In fact, you should only make your way to the bathroom when the urge hits.
If the urge to poop isn’t there, you might be tempted to push or strain to try to get the job done.
And all that straining could lead to the development of hemorrhoids—bulging blood vessels around your anus that can become swollen and painful or even bleed.

I had to poop really bad the other day. I had to make a run for it and didn’t have time to grab my phone first. I was in and out in like 2 minutes!
We fell asleep on the toilet a lot.
I would stare out windows a lot while I was in the bathroom. If you stare at leaves in a tree and let your eyes unfocus you can see patterns and shapes. Sort of like looking for shapes in clouds.
For bathrooms without windows I think I would just use my imagination. I’ve got a fairly vivid one and just think about random stuff a lot.
It’s hard to remember though. I have heard about people reading the ingredients of chemicals while they go, but I’ve never personally done that.

Y’all take more than a minute to poop?
Hopefully through their buttholes, not through their fingers and mouths.
