A shocking new study proves what many Americans already suspected about our phone-obsessed culture. Researchers at a Boston medical center found that people who scroll on their phones while sitting on the toilet have a 46 percent higher risk of getting hemorrhoids. This is what happens when we let technology control every moment of our lives.
The study looked at 125 adults getting colonoscopies and found some disturbing trends. Two-thirds of these people admitted they use their phones in the bathroom like it’s some kind of entertainment center. These phone users spent way more time sitting on the toilet than normal people, with many wasting over five minutes per visit just scrolling through social media.
Here’s the simple truth that liberals don’t want to hear. When you sit too long on the toilet because you’re distracted by your phone, you put dangerous pressure on the blood vessels in your rear end. This causes painful swelling and bleeding that could have been easily prevented with some basic self-control and common sense.
The most popular bathroom phone activities were reading news and checking social media. Imagine being so addicted to your device that you can’t even use the bathroom without it. This is exactly the kind of weak behavior that’s destroying American values and personal responsibility.
Our grandparents didn’t need phones to go to the bathroom and they lived just fine. They understood that some things in life require focus and respect for your own body. They knew the difference between necessary time and wasted time.
The solution is simple but requires the kind of discipline that made America great. Leave your phone outside the bathroom where it belongs. Spend only a few minutes doing what you need to do and then get back to productive activities.
This study should be a wake-up call for every patriotic American who values health over endless scrolling. We’re literally hurting ourselves because we can’t put down our phones for five minutes. This is what happens when instant gratification becomes more important than taking care of yourself.
It’s time to take back control from Big Tech and social media companies that designed these apps to steal your attention. Your bathroom time should be private and efficient, not another opportunity for Silicon Valley to manipulate your brain and damage your health.
