Video game instruction manuals
Magazines, books, reading the backs of products, and sometimes people would even use a mirror or two to watch TV on the shitter.
Wash, rinse, repeat. List of ingredients. Wash rinse repeat
There used to be racks/baskets dedicated to hold magazines in the toilet…
I used to find some neat patterns in the wood grain on the back of the bathroom door.
Classic. There’s the pattern in some ceiling finishes too.
Mad magazine, Nat Geo, or if all else fails, back of the shampoo bottle.
Shampoo bottle label, obviously.
Dr. Bronner’s magic soap label
I’m middle aged and I’m still only half way through that saga
LOL. Playboy magazine. 70% was real articles. When you weren’t pooping you wood use the other 15%.

Magazines and newspapers.
Plus catalogs.
The Sears catalog was multipurpose
Yes! I still have a number of these around here somewhere. They’re old, and many of the articles are out of date, but they’re still enjoyable reads!
We read the ingredients on shampoo bottles and we liked it!
Bathroom readers, magazines, and Readers digest.
chicken soup for the soul
Ah so that’s why they’re going bankrupt now!
Methylchloroisothiazolonone
Oops got stuck in another lather, rinse, repeat loop
Kids today don’t even know what’s in their shampoo anymore
I know, right?
Sodium Laureth Sulfate.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Laureth. Lauryl. Laureth. Lauryl.
What? Is? The DEAL?
Better go to the library to look it up in an encyclopedia!
Eh, it’s fine. I trust the suave company. I’m sure they make a perfectly fine product of salon quality that won’t dry out or otherwise damage my hair or skin.
My skin doesn’t like it and it’s fucking everywhere.
If you want to wash anything without it you have to go in two buy your soap from one of those shops where people smell funny and dress bit too casual.
Um, it’s Sodium Yanny Sulfate

And it gave you your daily dose of crazy in the pre-Internet age.
I wiped with a CD instead.
Scraaaaaaaaaaape. Ahhhhh.
Almost as good as the 3 seashells.
i was thinking vertically
Oh, like a poop knife.
Spanish people stopped learning greek after smartphones where invented.
Tap for spoiler
We used to read shampoo bottles that where usually shipped in Spain with labels in four languages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Greek. So it was always funny to try to see how things were written in greek while pooping.
I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn’t manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.
We had a little basket thingy with books and magazines. Stuff like Calvin & Hobbes, I Spy books, Popular Science magazines, etc.
Every year for Christmas our father would get new content for the toilet library. Usually from Walter Moers’ Little Asshole series. Good times.
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.
