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.

- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).

I use my phonein the shower all the time, I watch tv or read things online, who are these people just standing in the shower, not watching tv lol.
Man, I can't even imagine wanting to bring my phone into the shower. "Just standing" there, alone with my thoughts, hot water relaxing muscles... Nothing needs me, I need nothing, the world is on hold until further notice. It's meditative: Everything ceases mattering, ceases even existing - to resume later, of course, but in the meantime, perfect, relaxed, complete solitude. It's perfect as it is. Music or videos or reading would ruin it. That's all outside stuff, the outside should not exist.
It never even occurred to me that people would bring phones into the shower to actually do things. Never even imagined that that was a thing. Learn something new every day.
"Just standing" there, alone with my thoughts" yeah that's the reason I have my phone in with me, usually with whatever show I'm watching at the time, being alone with my thoughts isn't a good thing for me, I need something to focus on so I don't have a stream of consciousness filling up my head.
Same here. I’ve been doing for as long as my phones have been water resistant.
Not saying it's not possible. But I assume you don't have showerthoughts when using it...
