People take their phone to the shower?

Upvote despite the meme being meh because OPβs title is fucking hilarious
I slipped on a banana peel and the peel landed on my penis and then my penis fell off and now I'm DEI and Thanksgiving dinner is in ONLY TWO HOURS!!!
ITT: People who have apparently never heard of a Bluetooth shower speaker.
I have used my Bluetooth speaker every day since I bought it like 3 years ago, I never imagined how much I'd enjoy it
After noticing that I had a harder time enjoying being around water because of concern about my phone getting wet, I've just been getting water resistant phones. Haven't really tested how resistant they are but it's nice not caring about that anymore.
Edit: fixed a word
I hate Isekai. I just don't get it.
Isekai is just the fantasy version of sci-fi. It presents that, "what if?" question but (usually) with cat girls, swords, and magic.
Yeah, it's the what if totally ungrounded outside of reality that bothers me, because if anything is possible, then there are literally no stakes. The writer can deus ex anything
Right, this is why a lot of them suck. There are good ones though, depending on what you like of course.
Can I have some recommendations pls.
I'm honestly not a huge fan of the genre myself, but in general I find "I don't want to be a badass I just want to be a carefree adventurer " slice-of-life type ones the best.
Fun with a dumb premise: Campfire Cooking. The protagonist is in magical world and his super power is that he can buy groceries from his home world "online" and have them magically shipped to the new world.
This is directed to everyone who has posted in this thread who mentioned they have their phone in or nearby while they shower for music, audio books, etc.
Why?
How long are you showering that you need some content to fill the time?
It honestly concerns me that some people can't go five to ten minutes, alone with their own thoughts.
Someone here mentioned meditation, and that is how I shower. A quick, five minute chance to disconnect from the noise of the world.
Yeah sorry bud some of our lives are real awful and the quiet just lets us remember.
My phone has replaced basically every content machine in my vicinity. I'm not buying a shower radio when I have a phone
The shower and the shitter are the last places I'm alone with my thoughts. Not giving it up.
if i don't have music playing i might fall asleep in the shower. like, just monday my wife had to wake me up because i forgot my phone.
For some of us, shower phone time is one of the only times I get to use my phone.
I'm just an overworked ADHD programmer, I don't at my phone unless there's a convenient moment during the day. Shower time is when I get to catch up on my YouTube subscriptions.
You think I wanna be hanging out for fifteen minutes WITH MY OWN THOUGHTS. you are crazier than I am.
I don't get it either. It's my only "me" time unless I'm working on my car at night. But I put on a podcast or audiobook in the garage usually (not always). I like having SOME time when I can just... Exist. Alone. In hot running water. With nothing but my thoughts.
But tough times have given me tons of mental fortitude to get through just about anything and perhaps not everyone's brain is wired the same. I suspect for someone with severe anxiety, it's very different and being alone with their thoughts might be the worst thing. And anxiety disorders are pretty common these days from what I've heard
2nd paragraph is a bit unwarranted but I have been a phone in the shower user before.
It's like a book in the shower except your phone is water resistant (could also put it in a plastic bag for even more protection). I used it to read my comics. Don't do it anymore because my new phone is a flip phone and thats not the same level of water resistance as my old phone, but it was nice back then.
I have a cheap water-resistant speaker now that I use to listen to music or random talks
