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: 1

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.

Gloves should be a requirement to keep in a glove box. (lemm.ee)

Otherwise it defeats the purpose of calling it a glove box. If gloves are not in this box it would be more accurate to describe that volume as a passenger compartment.

Honestly, I think there should be legislation. that any usb ports should only be allowed to be placed within closed compartments (such as the glove box) so that to charge your phone or use Car play / android auto your phone would have to be away and inaccessible.

They could then be renamed to a phonebox

So people without in-dash display units to use Car Play don't get navigation then? My phone sits on the dash with maps plugged in for roadtrips.

[–] Tagger 1 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's a good point. I hadn't considered that.

Maybe one at the end of the dash, near the windscreen?

And by closed compartments I mean, closable and usually, when the car is in motion closed. I don't want them to lock closed when the car is in motion or even have electronics to check that the compartment is closed before powering the usb or anything.

And can we please require multiple USB ports? My vehicle has exactly one. That thing cost $20,000 can I please have a second USB port??

Does your car not have the 12v cigarette lighter ports?

That would not be compatible with wired Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. It has to be a built-in port with a data connection, unless your car has the newer wireless extensions.
