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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I saw a Bluetooth toothbrush that send reports to your phone on how good you brushed your teeth, like wtf?!
It also send reports to they corporate overlords. Most probably anyway.
Oh I'm sure your health insurance would love to know the condition of your teeth to increase your rates.
EXACTLY! Hubby has one of those, that function got old pretty quickly.
TBH I use that to make sure my kids brush their teeth before the electronics get Internet in the morning.
Or to make sure they learn hacking skills. Win or win!
Your internet is solar powered?
My home assistant picked up my toothbrush, forgot it had that feature*
It does seem silly to me as well, but is it really any different from people who want personal data for their sleep habits or exercise habits?
