Earlier quoted context omitted.

> be done in max 6mins this has a very "tell me you haven't had kids yet without telling me" energy to it, in opinion at least.

You want to train kids from a young age not to spend a long time on the toilet, which reading encourages. It consistently leads to hemorrhoids. That's just a fact.

i think they meant they are purposely sandbagging while on the toilet to get some alone time

Obvious, and yet will be ignored

Also, it's nasty. Check out how dirty your phone already is, then add fecal matter to that (you really think when you poop it just lands neatly in the bowl and nothing goes into the air?)

Flip side: more sitting on the toilet ensures a more complete emptying and less rushing/straining.

Flip side: sitting too long on the toilet increases hemorrhoid risk. [0]

Not having a distraction doesn’t mean a person needs to strain.
