I have deep conversations with Google Assistant in the shower all the time.
What does Google assistant do, am I missing out?
You know those crazy ideas you get in the shower? You can shout at Google to take a note before you forget them or ask Google questions to figure out whether your idea will work out.
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
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.
This dude literally understood infinity in the shower…
After finishing up calculus and differential equations taking real analysis was a trip! Basically opening up the box that is calculus and seeing why taking the derivative of a function means dropping the exponent and so much more. It frequently dealt with infinity and we went from writing long equations to solving word problems involving infinite doors. It was great
Limits are cool 😁 They open the door to all the 20th century maths and physics. I still don’t understand how infinity is treated to get the result that the sum of all natural numbers is -1/12 though. That must use some different definitions, but I’m not sure what.
Thats less of a eureka and more of an archimedes moment.
Jokes on you I read r/showerthoughts in the shower
I don’t understand the people who say that they use their phones in the shower. I can’t even change songs on my phone if it gets water on it because the touch screen gets buggy. Also, what do you even do on your phone in the shower? It’s not a hands-off activity.
I prop mine up on one of my little shelves outside the stream of water and put videos on. One of the streaming apps has an ability to block touch input, which is great to avoid splashes of water setting off the screen. I have a lot of hair that likes to rats nest when wet and I get easily bored & don’t enjoy being in my own mind, so putting on a show helps.
Which app is that? I also have long hair that is annoying to wash. Videos might actually be helpful.
Stan streaming service in Australia - probably not much use to you unless you’re in Aus!
That said, I use other video apps as well - just need to be a bit more careful about splashing with those.
In the shower rn shopping for boxers
They’re very good and loyal companions - oh you meant underwear
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.
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
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.
Currently reading this in the shower…
One of those bags to keep your phone dry?
I have an old shitty shower/hot water heater it takes like five minutes for it to even get lukewarm so I usually dick around for five minutes while the water heats up
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.
I bring mine in shower to play music.
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.
