Emphasis mine, but seeing this made me immediately discount this site as a reputable source.

I went into my bathroom and it was full of electromagnetic radiation and 5G. Checkmate, atheists

That came out of nowhere after a bunch of already known but reasonable advice. Was it written by AI and not checked for misinformation, or is it just spreading the cell phone radiation misinfo in an organic, human way, I wonder?

I don't sense any human touch in the article's writing. I think the whole thing is generated.

It's AI slop
The random single mention of radiation tells me this is just another AI blurp

Piefed has a little red icon next to the source which recommends checking MBFC for its credibility.

Also apparently the phone doesn't radiate you while in your pocket, only on the can.

Hah! Before smart phones I used to sit on the toilet just as long as I do now reading magazines or books.
Never had haemorroids.

The bathroom was the only place my family would give me even a moments rest. I used to hide in there just so I could disengage my brain for 15 mins. Then my mom decided I was doing something nefarious in there and she'd fucking sit outside the bathroom blabbering incessantly to try to drive me out.

So now you have a fetish to incessant blathering, right?

A low chance times 1.46 is another low chance.

Another forbidden snack, DAMN you culture !
Psythik@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 134d
Exactly. It's going to take me 30 minutes to an hour to get it all out, regardless of whether or not I have reading material with me, so I rather have something to do than sit there bored.
Yes I've tried increasing my fiber intake. Doesn't work. Told my doctor and he wasn't interested.

Saw this while... you know.

They sit anyway, whether on this throne or that.

But only the toilet has an open hole in the middle for your butt to hang down through, and you're usually not spending any time trying to push out a turd on any seat that's not a toilet.

Just get a squatty potty. You'll be fine.
