Everyone here is complaining about the nature of the proposed natural experiment and I’m just here thinking “where are the pockets on OP’s clothes?”

Phones are stored primarily in front pockets that are nowhere near the colon in terms of biology (almost everyone has relatively dense meaty quads and femurs between the thigh and colon) or the inverse square law.

> relatively dense meaty quads and femurs between the thigh and colon

While it in now way changes the conclusion, quads are on the front of the leg; many people carry it in their back pocket.

People sit on their phones?

To be fair, I use my hoodie pockets pretty often.

To be fair, that's even further away from the colon...

No, the ascending and descending parts are exactly where my hoodie pockets are.

The large intestine is fairly deep in the abdomen, there’s a lot of tissue and mass between a hoodie pocket and the colon.

One side of it will be shielded by approximately double the mass, when compared to the one closer to the pocket where the phone is usually stored.
