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

Watching videos isn't that weird. I tend to try to rush showers and wouldn't be able to watch my phone while doing 90% of my washing, but it's not that crazy. I've always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It's much easier and doesn't require me touching my phone.

Yeah, I suppose it isn't as crazy as I thought people would perceive it to be.

I’ve always used a Bluetooth speaker for listening to music in the shower. It’s much easier and doesn’t require me touching my phone.

Doesn't this damage your Bluetooth speaker? Or is it, and especially its controls, waterproof/water-resistant?

I keep them on the counter, not in the shower. I did recently buy a cheap shower speaker for listening to music quietly. It sounds like shit and the suction cup isn't great, but it's waterproof.

I almost always use my Google mini because it has voice controls. If I suddenly decide I want to listen to something else I can without getting anything wet.
