Not just your phone. Don't read books or magazines or do other things.
Get in, take your dump, be done in max 6mins, get up. Don't strain.

6 mins? Maybe with a squatty potty and if I'm lucky. Otherwise it's almost always 15-25min for me, not sure why, it just takes time.
25 minutes on the toilet means you’re either sitting there doomscrolling or you need to do something about your digestion.
you need more fiber and/or water
Fiber is not always the solution. It can worsen sometimes.
thats where the water comes in!
it really is the solution in 99% of cases. The vast majority of people get nowhere near enough fiber
> 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.
Or, "tell me your family is bearable to be around without telling me."
evidently everyone assumes that kids mean you do the reading on the toilet whereas I meant 6 minutes is an eternity you will not be allowed to reach.
I assumed you meant parents and I was saying, "but also sometimes the kids!"
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.

Whoa, you can preach whatever you'd like, but let's not start inventing 'facts' to put down others.
I don't see 'time sitting on the stool' in our list of hemorrhoid risk factors. If, instead, you mean time straining at the stool, then yes: but the straining begets the reading activities, not the other way around.
i think they meant they are purposely sandbagging while on the toilet to get some alone time
then it is even worse than I feared! they are both worsening or increasing their own chances of hemorrhoids AND role modeling for their kids that spending a long time on the toilet is OK.
Right! If you spend enough time in there to be reading you didn't actually need a shit.
