Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I just don't like the cord running on my arm etc when I use the phone while plugged in

Then move the cable away from your arm

Or charge it while you're not using it

It's stuck to a thing that's in your hand. From the bottom.

You hold your phone from the bottom? Like an ice cream cone, or what?

The bottom rests on my pinky, the back against my other 3 fingers and my thumb accesses the screen.

When it's not plugged in I usually have my pinky across the USB C port at the bottom.

Same way I was holding my phone as I read this

Is it a problem when it's plugged in? Are you using it every moment of every day?

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Obviously not, but when it is plugged into my computer it is annoying (I have an old phone that a micro USB port in the top left, which is far more convenient for that but also considerably slower), same goes for when it's low on charge but I still need to do something.

I just hold it by the USB cable like a microphone.
