If you can't take a bath without your phone you might have a problem.

But how else am I going to use the app for my shower's water temperature and pressure and massage pattern and RGB lighting?

Fucking Christ, so phone fiends can't even take 2-5 minutes to wash themselves with out getting their stimulation?

Civilization can't survive this.

I have always enjoyed quiet showers. I dont need to consume content during every activity.

I wish I had your brain. I feel like unless I have a constant stream of information coming into my brain, I might go insane.

It’s awful, and unhealthy, and I’m trying to figure out how to escape this paranoid insanity, but it’s what I’ve got until I can figure out the fix. Reminds me, need to schedule my next therapist appointment.

Taking your phone into the shower, waterproof or not, is psychopath behavior. Jesus fuck you guys, take 10 minutes of your day to peel your eyes off of the screen and just relax for a bit.

I thought they meant in the bathroom while you shower but people have their phone IN the shower!?

I brong it in to doomscroll whilst pooping before i shower. So its already in the room with me. But never had an issue so far.

put it in a plastic bag or two and ready you are to keep being consumed by content.

TBH I dont bring my phone to the bathroom anymore cause i dont want to risk my phone breaking, even if it is waterproof.

[–] yucandu@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I bought a waterproof box, some touch sensors, and an esp32, and made a waterproof bluetooth remote i can keep in the shower. speaker and phone live outside, but i still get control.

This thread is a great reminder that Lemmy users do not represent the general public. I put a phone mount in the shower so I don't have to pause a podcast or whatever to take a shower, it's nice. I don't really love showers and struggle to stop what I'm doing to change direction, so it's one less barrier to entry. My partner and some friends who have used my shower have also appreciated it.

I don't mind taking a break from my phone in the shower. It never would have occurred to me to have it in there.
