    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

    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.

        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.

        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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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 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.
