context: That's the only time I get to myself, I'm doing what I want. If I wanna play some zen mobile game while I sit on the throne, I'm gonna. >
  
  heading to the bathroom with my phone right now to be overstimulated, excuse me >
  
  lmao >
  
  
  constant stimulation to your brain will hold you back.
  
  Citation needed. >
  
  I’m guessing he was probably referring to the negatives phones and computers can do to attention spans. It was funny that he didn’t provide a source when asked even though he said he didn’t mind though. >
  
  I’m actually trying to leave my phone outside the bathroom, it’s easier when I need to take a shower, but taking a dump is 100% me time and I usually take it. Working on it though. >
  
  I’m not judging, but can I just ask… why? Are you getting too much screen time or just think it’s gross or why is it a goal? 
  I take my phone into the bathroom because it’s frowned upon at my workplace to be looking at your phone. It’s the only time I get during the work week to check texts, etc. 
  I will say I also do take it in the bathroom when I’m not working. 
  Again, not judging. Just trying to understand what your end goal is and why you’re working on it >
  
  I find myself spending a lot of time on my phone. And I work from home, so it’s not like I need it for practical purposes either. I sometimes find myself with 2 hours screen time on Instagram alone, and a significant chunk of it is spent in the bathroom.
  I consider myself addicted to my phone, so I’m trying to get a bit detached from it. Not totally, as I still need it and like spending time on it, but just trying to cut down some screen time where I can.
  I can understand your use case though, and am not judging people who aren’t abstaining from it. It’s just something I want to do. >
  
  Totally! I try to do something like read or watch a movie with my phone in the other room. 
  It’s a wild thing man. Like that check I your phone constantly is so common. 
  For Xmas eve yesterday, I was actively trying to not look. Doing this allowed me to observe more and see how often others WERE on their phones. It’s a lot haha >
  
  Delete your Reddit app along with all other social media apps. You’re over stimulated and it’s rotting your brain. Go on now, you know I’m right. There’s no middle level when it comes to this. >
  
  You say this but I remember a time before phones and stuff.
  Holy fuck I recall being bored all the time.
  Daydreaming isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, trust me. >
  
  yeah i don't get it. imagine the germs >
  
  That's what my momma's always saying. I just never actually believed her. /s >
  
  Not to mention it’s unsanitary >
  
  I would argue that for many people, using the phone in the bathroom is their only break and only time of relaxing >
  
  What about those of us that are in the just chill until retirement and you can claim all your retirement funds phase? >
  
  Who else is reading this on the toilet…. >
  
  Well I am doing that right now and there is nothing you can do about it. >
  
  I’m shitting right now son >
  
  Have never brought a phone whenever I’m in the bathroom. Whatever it is, it can wait till I’m done with my business. >
  
  My brother in christ, you are in Reddit. 
  Being used in the bathroom is almost a selling point for this thing. >
  
  what else do i wipe with then? >
  
  I see your "no phones in the bathroom" and I raise you "I don't even own a smartphone." >
  
  I can't settle my mind or zone out >
  
  I’m pooping right now. >
  
  I agree, studies show that it's good to be bored sometimes. >
  
  I do question why it takes some people long enough that they'll be bored and start using their phone. Maybe eat more fiber... >
  
  Pre-phones, I got so bored going to the bathroom that I taught myself how to move my toes individually. I have monkey feet, now. Please let me take my phone with me before I teach myself to play piano with my toes.
