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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 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).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

my phone has been on silent mode since 2012

Because of my job I have to answer unknown numbers. My God is it ever irritating

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Same here internet comrade. Gotta answer every call because my number gets passed around. At least my work pays my phone bill.

People get really upset that I don't check my phone often and keep it on do not disturb...

They can just keep on being upset. Their reaction kind of reinforces why I have the damn thing mostly disabled from its primary function anyway.

I thought we were talking about voice calls here.
