People take their phone to the shower?

It's waterproof and I wanna listen to podcasts

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.

Water resistant*

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

Which you can also do in the shower.

With the phone. It's can vibrate and show porn.

I can take my phone in the shower?

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.

I leave mine on the towel rack and listen to tunes while I scub

Right? I want a shower with one of those fancy fold down cedar chairs

The difference is that waterproof means absolutely nothing.

Water droplets on phone screens are too OP

a bath?

it's not the same.

🤔

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

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.

I hate Isekai. I just don't get it.

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?

ITT: People who have apparently never heard of a Bluetooth shower speaker.

I'd need a bigger bathtub. I mean laying down flat on my back. English is my mother tongue (sadly).

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

We have one. It's too small to lay down on my back in. I can't even sit comfortably in it. It's so narrow.

This is the way 👆

Bluetooth shower speaker. Most even have control buttons too, so you can adjust the volume, pause/play, skip/rewind, etc.

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.

Get a shower chair if you have room.

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

My wife has mixed irish and black hair. It takes legit 25 minutes with running water (45+ without) to detangle her hair.

Most people i know take 20+ minute showers. I fully believed they were lying when the local water company did a presentation at my elementary school and priced out 5-10 minutes for a shower.

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

You don't get why people would fantasize about getting to leave their old shitty life behind and start a new one in a cooler place with cooler friends or a new body or magic powers? I'm not a huge fan either but the appeal is pretty straightforward.

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

Turn it down

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

Dancing in the shower without music isn't nearly as fun 🤷

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

Even just with wavy long hair it takes me like 20 minutes to shower

The shower and the shitter are the last places I'm alone with my thoughts. Not giving it up.

Then I can't hear it

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.

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

Right, this is why a lot of them suck. There are good ones though, depending on what you like of course.

My UE BOOM died a couple of years back. Loved that thing. Maybe I'll get another one....

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.

If, while showering, your device is submerged to a depth where this distinction matters, you have way bigger issues to be dealing with...

shower chairs are great

Can I have some recommendations pls.

Everyone’s life works differently. Let them enjoy themselves.

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.
