Their redesign combined with the incessant harassing app crap turned me from an hours-a-day-and-modding-some-decently-big-subs redditor to visiting for 15 minutes a couple times a week when on the dunny. Their entire site is so user hostile now it’s actually bordering on funny. They’ve become a parody of everything they set out to defeat.
- camillomiller 6y agoDo NOT have your phone with you on the dunny and don’t spend 15 minutes on it! Make it a one minute job. You’ll thank me when you won’t get piles ;)
- teekert 6y agoActually forcing the whole thing in 1 minute will get you piles, afaik?
- throwaway4220 6y agoBoth true! Don't force it, but also don't spend more than 10 minutes there. (Source: med school, personal experience :\ )
- mft_ 6y agoIf one isn’t actively forcing, what’s the difference between sitting on the loo and sitting on a chair? Is there evidence that lingering on the loo in a relaxed state causes problems?
- throwaway4220 6y agoI can't find a good article, but my (albeit anecdotal) understanding is that the hole pulls down your butt muscles while the ring compresses the veins responsible for blood return.
- andrew_ 6y agoFor anyone uninitiated to that particular term, apparently "piles" is another word for Hemorrhoids. Also, these concerns can be mitigated with a a squatty-potty [1] or a small footstool to get you into the proper position. We've lost the flexibility for that in Western Culture [2] [1] https://www.squattypotty.com/ https://www.squattypotty.com/ [2] https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/03/can-you-do-the-asian-squat/555716/ https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/03/can-you-d...
- RankingMember 6y agoGive a Squatty Potty a try and you'll only need that 1 minute with no forcing.
- tzs 6y agoFor those wondering what "Squatty Potty" is, the company that makes it has a video that explains it well, featuring a pooping unicorn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbYWhdLO43Q
- northwest65 6y agoThank you for making it worth getting out of bed today.
- camillomiller 6y agoif you can't make a 1-min poop, apart from other specific physiological reasons, it means you should check your diet, in my opinion. If you get the right amount of fiber and enough water, the whole thing shouldn't take more than that. This and a squatty potty have been life changing for me.
- fencepost 6y agoFor those in the US, piles=hemorrhoids.
- ronanyeah 6y agoThe original 'they' are long gone.
