This community only exists because the shower is one of the last places left where it’s still uncomfortable to use a smartphone.

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...

my experience studying math was the same, so many concepts clicked when i was in the shower. a bit later on, a lot of the eureka moments in research projects happened in the shower too. i’ve wondered how common it is in other fields to be doing a considerable chunk of the research in the shower.

Thats less of a eureka and more of an archimedes moment.

One of those bags to keep your phone dry?

I usually listen to a podcast in the shower - bought a cheap shower phone holder on Amazon. Sometimes I browse ~reddit~ Lemmy in the shower - phone is just held in front of me a bit to keep it out of the water, works fine.

I sometimes listen to music or watch videos in the shower. I double-bag it in clear plastic bags, and then put it in a safe location. When I change songs or videos, I‌ can interact with the screen like normal. Maybe it's just my phone or the plastic bags I use--maybe both?

I use something like below, minus the ziplock:

I suppose there are actual products meant for making phones more waterproof in these situations, but I didn't bother looking for those.

I hold my phone in one hand, out of the stream of water, and browse RedditLemmy, Twitter, YouTube, whatever I feel like browsing. During this time, I'm not cleaning myself, I'm just standing, enjoying the hot water, and reading whatever I'm reading.

With that said, I've stopped doing this because it's a huge waste of water and money.

I put on a YouTube video and listen like a podcast. Mostly because it acts like a timer because I’ll spend way too long in there

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.

We need a NoFap community on lemmy

What does Google assistant do, am I missing out?

Sir, please get out of the pool and go back to your room.

You better hope for a waterproof VR brain interface because otherwise you'll never get your hair washed.

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.

Same here. I’ve been doing for as long as my phones have been water resistant.

Not saying it's not possible. But I assume you don't have showerthoughts when using it...

They're very good and loyal companions - oh you meant underwear

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.

Have you had a shower thought in that time?

And how many shower thoughts have you had since?

I remember back in the 90s when I got a shower radio and I thought it was the pinnacle of human achievement.
