    In recent times, by reading. Before that, i think most people pooped faster than we do due to better digestable foods

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

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

    Teletype with an acoustic coupler. You place the handset into the rubber cups that block out the sound, so that the modem noises were clear through the phone line.

    The perforations in modern toilet paper are an homage to the holes in the punched tape used to feed the teletype pre-recorded instructions.

    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.

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

    We’d look through the bathroom window, there was always something funny going on. Such as packs of velociraptors fighting each other, or a mastodon causing wreck on the neighbour’s garden.

      Every year for Christmas our father would get new content for the toilet library. Usually from Walter Moers’ Little Asshole series. Good times.
