People take their phone to the shower?

    I sometimes take mine to the shower room, when I'm in the middle of a podcast pr something I wanna finish listening to, but then I'm quickly reminded of what a welcome reprieve a shower is of the constant media bombardment hellscape we exist in.

    I want a shower I can lay down in. That would be nice. I miss having one I can sit down in. It was great for meditation.

    Picture yourself laying down in warm rain. Now picture yourself sitting in warm water. See, the difference? One I find more relaxing than the other.

    So just don’t stop up the drain when you’re laying down in the tub while the shower is running? I’m with @FishFace@piefed.social on this one - a shower that you have space to lay down in is a tub. Is this maybe a language barrier thing?

    I see. But the most common type of bath I know of is a shower-over-bath!

    If you can lay down comfortably in your bath, you're either very short or your bathtub is huge

    Lie flat? Sure. But lie with your head propped up? That's normal.

    Either you'd be kinking your neck very far (and still have to bend your knees to fit), or you'd be in a position that I don't consider lying. Reclining, maybe? Leaning back?

    In order to be lying down, I'd say your back has to be in contact with the horizontal surface

    Get a shower chair if you have room.

  • My parents got one of these for their old house, for a brief time when my grandma was living with them.

    10/10 recommended. You can sit and let the hot water wash over you, or take a few minutes after a regular shower to enjoy the steam and warmth on a cold winter day.

    Just make sure to move it around (and, obviously, clean it) periodically so the bottom of it doesn't end up making scum/mold spots on the shower floor.

    I want to do this but the music would be too loud so it would make me uncomfortable

    Water resistant*

    The difference is, if you do end up getting some water damage, the manufacturer will tell you to go please yourself!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
