I was all about Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader, a collection of facts a lot of which probably aren’t true but it was entertaining.
But this was absolutely the backup option.
“Oh, sulfates huh? Tell me more. Rinse and REPEAT?? The fuck outta here.”
I’ll forever be grateful to those thronal thespians of the page, who told me exactly whence the phrase, “Close, but no cigar,” came from.
magazines
This honestly. Lots and lots of magazines in a basket on the wall.
'member Reader’s Digest?
Gotta be careful reading those dr bronners, you might get sucked in to the cult
Dude wtf is that… I bought some spearmint toothpaste off Amazon didn’t pay attention to anything, just wanted spearmint. Package came in and it was Bronners. The box scared the shit out of me so much I immediately through it in a closet because I was too scared to open it.
Haha that’s fair. Honestly though they make legitimately good products and while some of the stuff they have written on there is a bit cuckoo, it seems well meaning and some of the ideas they present (e.g. taking care of the earth and each other) are actually good
“Wait. ALL this shit. On every bottle?”

That Castile soap is great, especially for oil/grease.
Not only that but they are a fantastic company and treat their employees really, really well.
When as a kid you sit in the bathroom and start reading bottles of shampoo and then cutting off the first letter each time.
“Shampoo” “Hampoo” “Ampoo” “mpoo” “poo” “oo” “o” “”
And for reason poop was like “Get me the fuck out of this body right nooowww!!!” after you read something.
It was okay before the dude died and his family took over and put all that cult stuff on it.
After escaping from a mental institution in 1945, he went into business
That explains the bottles.
Seriously though, glad he got out. His ramblings were coming from a good heart and his soap is legendary.

The first bottle I got had some wonderful shit about helping PTSD patients and research on psychedelics.
The one I have now reads like the psychotic ramblings of a cult leader…
Love the soap but holy crap the labels are wild.
He ate all the psychedelics

What is even the point of bringing up mastodon in the title? This meme is old as dirt.
Life before smartphones, I’d bring a laptop to the bathroom, before that, I’d bring newspapers/books, and before that, theres radios.
Edit: Yea I don’t know when radios were invented, I always assumed they were like ancient. Too depressed to think lol.

Wait a second…
Crystal set with one wire in the water?
Oh I’m not that old lol, just saying that’s what I’d do if I lived in that era.
What I was more confused on was how there were radios before newspapers and books.
Idk my depressed brain can’t think for the moment. I was always told that radios are old af and since I’ve seen newspapers and tv existing at the same time but rarely used radios, my dumbass brain automatically assumed that radio is the predecessor of both newspapers and tv.
Lol it’s all good.
