I enjoy being in a pool or a lake or the ocean because of that floaty feel but you don't get that if you're sitting on the floor in a tub (basically sitting on the floor doesn't seem especially comfortable to me). Not trying to be edgy or start a circlejerk, just don't understand.

for some people, reading on the john is the only place where they'll have a bit of privacy, especially to read trash.

have been to some aristocratic manors in Europe, and all the best houses had floor-to-ceiling stacks of books in their admittedly primitive shitters.

no doubt you want a Jap-style automatic cyborg jacks that will sing you the fucking book too while you're at it.
