I didn’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t bring my phone into the shower with me.
Is that not shitposting?
Why is it "shower thoughts" and not "shitter thoughts"?

The shower is one of the few places where you don’t bring the phone with you, so you are not distracted by external stimuli and are free to think deeply for a long time without interruptions, allowing you to form novel and complex thoughts. If you have a bit of memory retention you then jump out of the shower and post on feddit.

You're taking too long in the shower. Think about water conservation.

Don’t bring my phone to the bathroom either.

It’s named shower thoughts because they’re thoughts you have in the shower. When you’re on the shitter you’re usually on your phone, not solving the world’s problems like you do when you’re in the shower.

You answered your own question. Are you master baiting us?
NABDad@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No. It’s clear to me now that other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than I.
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
hold onto a thought longer than I.
If you were speaking about someone else, would you use “he/she” or “him/her” in this context?
Because if it’s the former, then you use “I” to replace it, and if it’s the latter, you use “me”.
other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than she.
Doesn’t sound right.

Sounds better.

idk, my shower thoughts are usually hypothetical arguments I imagine having with people that would almost certainly never act in the way that leads me to imagine the argument with them to begin with

It’s precisely because you don’t bring your phone into the shower that allows your mind to wander and make novel connections which you may then share later.

Good point. This makes the entire rest of Lemmy the “shitter thoughts” umbrella community as thats where everyone is posting and commenting from.

You guys can remember your thoughts long enough to post them after you get dried off?
