Edit- I clearly meant growing up but my phone sucks. Still a good funny comment I guess
I've been frowning up too. Also down. In fact, I've been frowning in various directions for some time now.
Hahahaha. I love it. Thank for pointing out the mobile edit issue.
How is sitting on a toilet physiologically different than sitting on a chair?
Most chairs are not a hard ring with an open space in the middle that we associate with pooping and the physical movements out body makes to expel waste.

As another person mentioned, the ring in the middle of a toilet lid strains the muscles differently. That said, prolonged sitting in chairs/etc as part of a sedentary lifestyle also carries an increased risk of hemorrhoids. Sitting down for too long is not great on the body.
Don't tell me what to do. Maybe I'm into rectum prolapse?
