People take their phone to the shower?

[–] RiceMunk@sopuli.xyz 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I sometimes take mine to the shower room, when I'm in the middle of a podcast pr something I wanna finish listening to, but then I'm quickly reminded of what a welcome reprieve a shower is of the constant media bombardment hellscape we exist in.

I want a shower I can lay down in. That would be nice. I miss having one I can sit down in. It was great for meditation.

Picture yourself laying down in warm rain. Now picture yourself sitting in warm water. See, the difference? One I find more relaxing than the other.

So just don’t stop up the drain when you’re laying down in the tub while the shower is running? I’m with @FishFace@piefed.social on this one - a shower that you have space to lay down in is a tub. Is this maybe a language barrier thing?

I see. But the most common type of bath I know of is a shower-over-bath!

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

We have one. It's too small to lay down on my back in. I can't even sit comfortably in it. It's so narrow.

shower chairs are great

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Right? I want a shower with one of those fancy fold down cedar chairs

It's waterproof and I wanna listen to podcasts

[–] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 36 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Water resistant*

The difference is, if you do end up getting some water damage, the manufacturer will tell you to go please yourself!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Which you can also do in the shower.

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 17 points 3 weeks ago

With the phone. It's can vibrate and show porn.

[–] ParlimentOfDoom@piefed.zip 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If, while showering, your device is submerged to a depth where this distinction matters, you have way bigger issues to be dealing with...

[–] Delilah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 weeks ago

The difference is that waterproof means absolutely nothing.

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I can take my phone in the shower?

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

I leave mine on the towel rack and listen to tunes while I scub

This is directed to everyone who has posted in this thread who mentioned they have their phone in or nearby while they shower for music, audio books, etc.

Why?

How long are you showering that you need some content to fill the time?
It honestly concerns me that some people can't go five to ten minutes, alone with their own thoughts.

Someone here mentioned meditation, and that is how I shower. A quick, five minute chance to disconnect from the noise of the world.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 13 points 3 weeks ago

Everyone’s life works differently. Let them enjoy themselves.

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Yeah sorry bud some of our lives are real awful and the quiet just lets us remember.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My wife has mixed irish and black hair. It takes legit 25 minutes with running water (45+ without) to detangle her hair.

Most people i know take 20+ minute showers. I fully believed they were lying when the local water company did a presentation at my elementary school and priced out 5-10 minutes for a shower.

Dancing in the shower without music isn't nearly as fun 🤷

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

My phone has replaced basically every content machine in my vicinity. I'm not buying a shower radio when I have a phone

[–] athatet@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

You think I wanna be hanging out for fifteen minutes WITH MY OWN THOUGHTS. you are crazier than I am.

[–] square@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

The shower and the shitter are the last places I'm alone with my thoughts. Not giving it up.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

if i don't have music playing i might fall asleep in the shower. like, just monday my wife had to wake me up because i forgot my phone.

[–] BetterDev@programming.dev 4 points 3 weeks ago

For some of us, shower phone time is one of the only times I get to use my phone.

I'm just an overworked ADHD programmer, I don't at my phone unless there's a convenient moment during the day. Shower time is when I get to catch up on my YouTube subscriptions.

Upvote despite the meme being meh because OP’s title is fucking hilarious

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

ITT: People who have apparently never heard of a Bluetooth shower speaker.

[–] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have used my Bluetooth speaker every day since I bought it like 3 years ago, I never imagined how much I'd enjoy it

I slipped on a banana peel and the peel landed on my penis and then my penis fell off and now I'm DEI and Thanksgiving dinner is in ONLY TWO HOURS!!!

[–] Photonic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Maybe you can still try sone DIY, or if all of that fails some DUI

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 9 points 3 weeks ago

Water droplets on phone screens are too OP

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I hate Isekai. I just don't get it.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You don't get why people would fantasize about getting to leave their old shitty life behind and start a new one in a cooler place with cooler friends or a new body or magic powers? I'm not a huge fan either but the appeal is pretty straightforward.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

Especially in the time and place we all currently occupy

[–] riskable@programming.dev 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isekai is just the fantasy version of sci-fi. It presents that, "what if?" question but (usually) with cat girls, swords, and magic.

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's the what if totally ungrounded outside of reality that bothers me, because if anything is possible, then there are literally no stakes. The writer can deus ex anything

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Right, this is why a lot of them suck. There are good ones though, depending on what you like of course.

[–] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Can I have some recommendations pls.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the genre myself, but in general I find "I don't want to be a badass I just want to be a carefree adventurer " slice-of-life type ones the best.

Fun with a dumb premise: Campfire Cooking. The protagonist is in magical world and his super power is that he can buy groceries from his home world "online" and have them magically shipped to the new world.

I'm on season 2 of re:zero right now and I'm enjoying it.

So there are people out there, whose gender is Hannah Montana?
