Here is today’s stupid headline!

It’s so dumb that they do headlines like this. But they do it like this intentionally to get you to read it.

To save you from wasting your time reading this dumb story - it’s **not** the phone that is doing it, it’s spending too much time sitting on the toilet.

People who are scrolling around on their phone while sitting on the toilet generally spend more time sitting there. And that can lead to the hemorrhoids.

So it’s not the phone, it’s the amount of time sitting!

If I wrote news stories, they would be much shorter. But nobody would ever read them, because my headlines would be too boring. 🤷‍♂️

They also do that and make them “subscriber only” stories. I be way more apt to give them money if they did it like Wikipedia…..don’t trick me into giving you money.
