People also gotta shit. Should I do a Zoom call while on the toilet?
It's a matter of where is your attention. If you're eating you're not fully focused on the other participant you're interacting with and not being fully present for them is rude.
- hobr 3y agoIsn't this a false equivalence? I'll often eat with other people, but I wouldn't take a sh*t with them.

- klyrs 3y agoMeals are an excellent venue for conversation. People are fully capable of eating, listening and responding. Being remote doesn't change that. Conversations on the can are less universally accepted. But do you ever see people go off-camera for a minute or ten? Some fraction of them must be listening from the loo.
