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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I have plenty of downtime, waiting for code to compile. Lemmy is perfect for that.

Most jobs allow people to use their phones during down time, as long as you're not disturbing anyone else or looking at porn then no one cares

How would looking at porn on my private device in my down time be a problem to anyone?

Not everything you disagree with is trolling.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You are correct there, however questioning why you shouldn't be allowed to watch porn at work is definitely trolling lol

[–] tux0r@feddit.org 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not really. The distinction that has been made here is that "NSFW" only means "pornography" if it 1) takes place during a break at work and 2) does not take place on your own device. Conversely, doesn't that mean that I can do whatever I want on my own device during my break?

Cool story bro. I'm actually at work now so I don't have time to keep entertaining your troll hijinks any further. You have fun watching porn at work though. Make sure to invite your manager to watch along with you!

[–] tux0r@feddit.org -1 points 4 months ago

I probably will not, I prefer to see my manager in a non-sexual context. (Not really my type, too much penis, I guess.)

your troll hijinks

Sorry for repeating myself: Not everything you disagree with is "trolling".

In the same way that watching porn on public transit is a social no-no

[–] tux0r@feddit.org -1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I would have assumed that by now we would at least have overcome the age of puritanism sufficiently to no longer taboo sexuality. I actually watch porn on public transit, but I guess that not many people do.

[–] ExcursionInversion@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lmao this can't be real. Do you use the public library computers for porn as well?

[–] tux0r@feddit.org 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I haven't been to a public library for years.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

You should definitely go spend some time in one.

[–] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 months ago

No we haven't. Largely because we haven't overcome patriarchy and it issues also people don't trust that people can show strong urges like that and act in a way that is respectful of their boundaries.

In the same way you and I would avoid someone yelling on public transport.
