What are some plants that can thrive in environments with little light (like the bathroom)? (sh.itjust.works)

I've got a pothos in mine and it doesn't seem to mind that there's less light. Certainly it doesn't grow as quickly as one in direct light, but it is still healthy and it's air roots get watered from the shower humidity so it rarely needs to be watered (once every 1-2 months) which is also a nice bonus.

Snake plants will also survive just about anywhere. Mine gets even less light than what my bathroom provides and it doesn't really care and continues growing bigger and bigger. It also doesn't need to be watered much.
