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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
I can't hit the letters on the keyboard with my thumb and holding the phone one-handed.
I can span an octave on a piano. I do not have small hands.
This is the real reason why I got a foldable phone. It doesn't help with reaching things one-handed when it's open, but at least folded it still fits in my front pocket comfortably, and let me sit with it there.
Man I loved my tiny flip phone I got in Korea in 2000. It was killer. I wish tiny phones made a comeback.
Meanwhile, female pocket sizes: image_not_found.jpg
Women are not allowed to have pockets, is in the Bible (I guess idk)
Why would my wife need pockets when she has 82 zillion designer handbags?
Maybe she have all that cuz she's eager for some goddamn pockets.
We need to bring back Jnco jeans back for both men and women. Pockets galore. Also https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/
They still make them. You can just buy jncos right now. Jnco.com. they're just still stupid expensive.
Cool yeah i mean bring them back in fashion to wear.
I believe in your stardom. Bring it back!
Straight leg and baggy jeans with big pockets are plenty available for women.
None of those words are in the bible. /s.
The clothing industry doesn't make many clothes with pockets for women because they don't sell. Women all complain that they don't get pockets, but then vote with their wallets.
This is a legit example of the intended meaning of the phrase "the customer is always right." The market supplies what customers demand, and for all the fist shaking about having nowhere to put a phone, there's very little actual market demand for women's clothing with pockets. Majority of demand is related to outdoor activities so you see them there.
That just isn’t true. Answers in Progress on YouTube does a good video on the history of pockets in women’s clothes.
"I saw it on YouTube and therefore it must be true, not basic economics"
It is true. Women's pants with big pockets are freely available, just do a Google shopping search and you'll see. American Eagle, Gap, Abercrombie, Forever 21, Old Navy, H&M, Ann Taylor, Dickies, Patagonia, Levi's, and the list goes on. All these retailers sell baggy and loose pants with big pockets.
Also worth noting, Y2K fashion is very in with younger people and you'll see them wearing a lot of baggy pants, I'm talking JNCO baggy.
So why aren't big-pocketed pants the standard in women's fashion? It's simple: women tend to want slimmer pants. It's just a consumer decision.
Some women want the slimmer pants, yet all the options with pockets are baggy. Yes you need some space for a pocket, but that doesn't mean the entire entire pant needs to be baggy.
Men's slim jeans are available with pockets able to accommodate a larger phone with out issue.
People use their phones primarily as media consumption devices. That means bigger screens are desirable to the public at large.
We were well on our way to miniaturization until your phone also became a pocket computer
Due to an eye injury my eyesight is deteriorating, I need to have a larger screen to see.
welcome to being older
My phone is 213g, almost as heavy as the Nokia 2110 which was 236g. The current heaviest non-rugged bar-style smartphone is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra at 233g.
Bricks were 500-1200g, so we're getting there
The last time I bought a phone, I used versus.com's filters to suggest different models that fit the criteria I needed, including a small form factor. I've been pretty happy with the resulting phone!
I have a phone case that is also a wallet/billfold, so I'm already in the brick zone lol
I want a thicker phone because they're getting too hard to hold with how thin they are, and it compromises battery size, storage capacity, durabulity, and external ports (sd card, analog audio, etc) for that thinness
And that's why Bricks are going to make a comeback.
