We read the ingredients on shampoo bottles and we liked it!

Kids today don’t even know what’s in their shampoo anymore

[-] wjrii@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I know, right?

Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

Laureth. Lauryl. Laureth. Lauryl.

What? Is? The DEAL?

Better go to the library to look it up in an encyclopedia!

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Eh, it's fine. I trust the suave company. I'm sure they make a perfectly fine product of salon quality that won't dry out or otherwise damage my hair or skin.

Um, it’s Sodium Yanny Sulfate

And it gave you your daily dose of crazy in the pre-Internet age.

Yes! I still have a number of these around here somewhere. They’re old, and many of the articles are out of date, but they’re still enjoyable reads!

Huh, this vegan dog shampoo has not been tested on animals.

I feel like that's the one product they should test on animals so that my dog doesn't have to be the guinea pig.

Our bathroom door has a built-in magazine rack dating back to the 70s. It holds phones pretty well too.

We used to have words printed on paper (the pressed corpses of trees) called books, magazines, and newspapers. They'd bring one of those.

Magazines, books, reading the backs of products, and sometimes people would even use a mirror or two to watch TV on the shitter.

[-] dan1101@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

I used to find some neat patterns in the wood grain on the back of the bathroom door.

We'd look through the bathroom window, there was always something funny going on. Such as packs of velociraptors fighting each other, or a mastodon causing wreck on the neighbour's garden.

Spanish people stopped learning greek after smartphones where invented.

Tap for spoilerWe used to read shampoo bottles that where usually shipped in Spain with labels in four languages: Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Greek. So it was always funny to try to see how things were written in greek while pooping.

Video game instruction manuals

[-] griefreeze@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

We didn't have to poop back then. The act of pooping was invented by Larry Smartphone, who also happened to invent the smartphone. They were released together originally as a bundle but everyone has both nowadays anyways and you can mix and match.

[-] bandwidthcrisis@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Teletype with an acoustic coupler. You place the handset into the rubber cups that block out the sound, so that the modem noises were clear through the phone line.

The perforations in modern toilet paper are an homage to the holes in the punched tape used to feed the teletype pre-recorded instructions.

Well, before phones made social media conveniently available, people largely had to deposit their shit via telephone, written word, or in person.

[-] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 8 points 2 months ago

Magazines and we read the ingredient list of bottles, like bleech.

[-] SparrowHawk@feddit.it 8 points 2 months ago

In recent times, by reading. Before that, i think most people pooped faster than we do due to better digestable foods

[-] zloubida@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

And before that, pooping was a social function .
