25 Comments on Smartphone use on the toilet associated with a 46% higher risk of hemorrhoids

  1. Nowhere in the article, or, I’m assuming in the study, is there any discussion of redesigning toilet seats to reduce or eliminate the effect mentioned. I suggest asking the Japanese to investigate this so they can raise the price of their $2,000 smart toilets to $3,000.

  2. My son likes to talk to his sister in Kentucky while he’s taking a dump just to annoy her. I have an old-fashioned flip phone because smart phones and I don’t get along. And I don’t text either, if they can’t talk to me in person I don’t respond and neither does my next brother.

  3. Lordy, I can’t recall how many time I pounded on the bathroom door and yelled “pinch it off!” to my dumbass sons. I hope they don’t linger too long, now that they’re off on their own.

  4. Is that picture of Carol Burnett the one where her husband played by Harvey Korman barricades himself in the bathroom with his old-fashioned rotary dial phone and a long phone cord and refuses to come out since it’s the only bathroom in the house. I laughed my ass off years ago when I first saw that and in reruns later.

  5. Kidding aside, it is time on throne that increases the risk, not cell phone use in particular (clickbait headliners gonna clickbait). Reading, daydreaming, whatever. Git ‘er done, but don’t push too hard. The average ruminant takes 12 seconds – if you can’t make it happen in 5 minutes, it ain’t happening. Try another time. If you are already a sufferer, a bidet is incredibly helpful.

  6. the telecom industry forced our gov’t (lobbying, etc) into foisting this harmful product onto citizens, ever promoting them to the point that life is “easier” and business often transacted using one of these devices. They’ve always been harmful, should never be kept in your pocket, next to your bed, etc. Just watch, imagine what happens to your brain biology…
