I think it is more than that, the shower is a proper refuge where external stimuli is severely limited. Sounds are limited by the running water, temperature is controlled by the water, visuals are limited, and no one is generally barging in.
When I was studying math at University I had a remarkable number of eureka moments in the shower where suddenly infinity made sense. Smart phones didn’t really exist then but showers still held power as a great place to think
This dude literally understood infinity in the shower…
Psilocybin and a sensory deprivation tank is all you need to eureka yourself up all the way until infinity is the only think that makes sense at all.
Not financial advise.
Thats less of a eureka and more of an archimedes moment.
Have to deeply self censor my comment…
guys… you are scaring me. No faith for humanity if you guys cant put down your collar for even 10 minutes in the shower…
Zombies
The shower is where I secretly watch porn in a house of 6 people. Let the water running and start beat my meat with hot water running at my beck.
We need a NoFap community on lemmy
Nofap is like a cult and the folks from that sub spread a lot of really stupid misinformation. Masturbation is healthy, safe, and a basic human need… but like everything it should be done in moderation. It reduces the change of prostate cancer, and keeps the pipes clean.
No love for MoFap?
Jokes on you I read r/showerthoughts in the shower
Currently reading this in the shower…
One of those bags to keep your phone dry?
It’s weird, I read and respond to texts and listen to audiobooks on my phones speaker in the shower all the time. There’s a ledge outside of the water spray so it’s easy to navigate. I mean texts can usually wait but the ability to continue my audiobook from my headphones to my phone speakers for showering is key.
It’s 2 am right now and I was sleeping terrible. So I took my phone to the shower, not really to get clean, but just for comfort.
Most phones made now it seems are rated for being able to go underwater. I wouldn’t go swimming with mine or anything, but it often gets wet and it’s fine. The touchscreen doesn’t really work when wet, because it thinks it’s being touched all over. That’s the only part that needs to stay dry to operate in the shower.
Wow, that’s really interesting.
Funnily enough I tend to have most of my “shower thoughts” while listening to music on the bus or train. In the shower I just try to relax and not really think about anything.
I bring mine in shower to play music.
I use my phonein the shower all the time, I watch tv or read things online, who are these people just standing in the shower, not watching tv lol.
Man, I can’t even imagine wanting to bring my phone into the shower. “Just standing” there, alone with my thoughts, hot water relaxing muscles… Nothing needs me, I need nothing, the world is on hold until further notice. It’s meditative: Everything ceases mattering, ceases even existing - to resume later, of course, but in the meantime, perfect, relaxed, complete solitude. It’s perfect as it is. Music or videos or reading would ruin it. That’s all outside stuff, the outside should not exist.
It never even occurred to me that people would bring phones into the shower to actually do things. Never even imagined that that was a thing. Learn something new every day.
“Just standing” there, alone with my thoughts" yeah that’s the reason I have my phone in with me, usually with whatever show I’m watching at the time, being alone with my thoughts isn’t a good thing for me, I need something to focus on so I don’t have a stream of consciousness filling up my head.
Wow, that’s really interesting.
In the shower rn shopping for boxers
Man the future is crazy. Is it even ethical to resurrect a bioprinted copy of Mohammed Ali just for a chance to have sex with him in the shower?
Imagine being a bioprinted boxer from the 20th century, knowing without knowing how you know, that you’re in the distant future and that the moment you step out of the shower you’ll be painlessly destroyed, but not really caring because you have an irresistible urge for the person ogling you and you seem strangely obsessed with soaping them up.
