    Back in the 2000s I used to have an app on my PC where I could enter my salary or hourly wage, hit a button when I went for a poop, hit it again when I got back and it would tell me how much I’d earned on the can.

    Wonder if there’s anything like that for phones these days?

      If you want to set up a spreadsheet, the formulas are pretty simple:

      Salary / 52 = weekly pay (approx, there’s a few extra days in the year but my bi-weekly pay is salary / 26, which actually works out to a slightly higher pay than if they did it by extact days)

      Weekly pay / 40 = hourly equivalent (or 37.5 if you want to assume unpaid lunches, which effectively increases your hourly rate)

      Hourly equivalent / 60 = minute equivalent

      Time in minutes pooping * hourly equivalent = money earned pooping

      For hourly pay, just drop that in to the hourly equivalent variable above.

        Nice! I’m learning Python right now so I’m going to take this and make a script out of it.

          Yeah, that script should only take a few days, most of which spent on creating an ascii pooping animation while it’s waiting for you to return.
