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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The 'smart' is the only part of my phone I like.

the good:

  • wife can see when I'm running late because I chose to share GPS location
  • I have maps
  • I have zello
  • I have messaging and asynchronous comms is so great
  • I have email
  • I have web so I can see my monitoring green-light

The bad:

  • it would ring, if it wasn't set up as a tablet
  • if i installed IG or FB or Twitter, I'd have those, which are apparently toxic

So, yeah.
