Avoid taking your phones in the bathroom, as it can expose you to radiation and increase your chances of haemorrhoids.

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

    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?

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

    Overall, we rate New Delhi Television Limited (NDTV) Right-Center Biased and questionable due to the promotion of propaganda, poor sourcing techniques, a lack of transparency and several failed fact checks.

    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?

    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.

    They sit anyway, whether on this throne or that.

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