When that door is closed, you're forced to stare at yourself on the toilet.

Practicing my war face

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

You say "forced to", he says "able to" 🤷

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh that’s very true and just weird.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Helps increase the pleasure.

Bathroom design advice: don’t hang mirrors facing toilets.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Unless you're into that shit, pun intended..

As someone currently rolling a nut log, this has come full circle. If only Nintendo could see me stream their games to my phone while I churn some fresh colon sausage.

[–] SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I generally nut ropes, but mad props to a man who can nut logs

I mean, the Switch is already designed to take it to the shitter with you.

This just unlocked a memory of running a PS2 controller extension cable to use on the toilet 🤦🏻‍♂️😆

My absolute favourite controller of all time. No contest.

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve bought a kickstarter gamecube controller that’s supposed to be shipped by February. It’s basically a modern GameCube controller, usb-C, wireless, cables to put it directly into GCN/N64… the price is a little hefty but for a good controller (that hopefully lasts longer than my ps5 stick…) I’m willing to pay that.

Here’s the link for anyone interested, but I think you can’t get any more: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nicemitch/gc-ultimate-controller-kit/

For those that don't care about being able to plug it into the GameCube or N64 there is also the Nyxi Wizard

Man. I remember both using the controller and seeing that add. One of those GameInformer magazines way back when it was still around.

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These were the best damn controllers.

[–] theRealBassist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I still have mine lol absolutely love it

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Disagree. It didn't have rumble. That reason alone is why I always stuck with the wired controllers.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Never much fan of that feedback. Also, battery life!

Carpet in the bathroom? Bold choice

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You've never heard of bathmats? They're fairly common worldwide.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Any carpet in the bathroom ends up smelling like urine, especially with little boys in the house. Heck big boys too. At least with a rug you can through it in the washing machine. Carpet not so much. My grandmother had carpet in her bathroom. And those weird soft toilet seats that eventually cracked and would pinch your backside when you sat down. Wouldn’t recommend at all.

[–] dandu3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The house I'm in right now has 3 bathrooms and they all have carpet. It's carpet everywhere actually.

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And I'm talking about a bath mat/rug. As clearly shown in the picture. I'm not a 100%, but I don't think they use the kind of glued on whole floor carpet anywhere outside the US because it's just crazy. Carpet elsewhere is just normal carpets/rugs, like sane people use.

[–] sag@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Worldwide? Never seen in my life even in media.

[–] johnthebeboptist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes? And how prominently do bathroom floors feature in the media you consume? It's not like this is some outlandish concept lmao
