A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

You're pushing too hard. You should breathe through it, don't hold your breath. Look into getting a step for your feet. We're designed to squat, not sit, and getting your feet higher can get things to line up better internally

Also, pushing too hard (and shitting for too long) are great ways to get hemorrhoids.
I just squat on the toilet seat straight up, if I'm at home. It helps, it really does, I swear by squatting
At work they had to put signs up to tell all the Indian workers who came to the UK not to do this as they were always breaking the loo seats! Better to get a step for your feet and get those angles better aligned.
Interesting, I've done it my whole life and have never broken anything, but I also weigh about 115 pounds, so my method is not for everyone, haha.
