    I mean in the olden days shitting was that time when you could really engage with the ingredients of that shampoo bottle. Or, you know, books and newspapers. Reading while shitting is probably common since both exist.

      here in sweden almost everything has translations in the other nordic languages, and school toilets have heating elements, so before phones it was universal that all students ended up learning “ei sa peitää” which means “do not cover” in finnish

    If I may quote something in response…

    Ahem

    YOUR GOD IS DEAD AND NO ONE CARES

    IF THERE IS A HELL I’LL SEE YOU THERE

    … That is all.

    I like to have a podcast on while I’m vomiting. I might as well use that time to learn more about WWII.

      I do sometimes but I usually carry my phone. Sometimes for music, sometimes just got emergencies.

      There’s not a lot of good walking weather in my area though. So it isn’t common for me. Spring and Fall are fairly short now, and summer/winter is usually too hot.

      IDK. I used to do it more often.

        What kind of climate do you live in? I’m curious what area you’re in where the outdoors is too unforgiving. I love walking on doors in any kind of weather, although I understand if it’s prohibitively hot and cold someone wouldn’t want to walk in that kind of weather. I often keep my phone on me too, but I find myself so distracted by nature and the change of scenery in general that I don’t even think to look at it. It’s pretty easy for me to disconnect for hours at a time, if not just to make sure that my family hasn’t messaged me for something important.

    You can tell they’re normal because they don’t know what gooning is.

    I’m sorry for anyone that has eyes right now.

    “Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink because he’s probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They’re the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They’re usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they’re a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can’t trust a man who’s afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It’s damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he’s heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl.“ - James Crumley

      Son, never trust a man who doesn’t drink when he drives; he’s afraid he’ll crash, and a fearful driver is a dangerous driver.

    Oh they apparently didn’t experience the real diarrhea shitting, it’s so Zen when your body wants to turn itself inside out for so long that you don’t feel anything anymore. And the feeling after it as if you were raped with a continent. So Zen.
