A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This community only exists because the shower is one of the last places left where it’s still uncomfortable to use a smartphone. (lemm.ee)

why not take a bath? you won't waste as much water as a fully running shower.

This depends on how big the bath is and how long you stay under the shower!

I find a bath less refreshing and also more likely to make me sweat and feel uncomfortably warm. I can take a pretty hot shower and still not have those problems.

I basically solved it by no longer taking my phone into the shower.
