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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Same goes with reading skills, which at some point weren't needed in society I bet.
Interesting perspective but then I think of the data on this phone as an extension of my privacy/private life; literacy doesn't track.
I guess privacy is getting more and more popular nowadays. Hopefully private smartphones will become easier to get
Yeah, phones such, literacy doesn't. But phones could have better software and hardware, then it would be fine.
Except that skills aren't at risk of being stolen, lost or stop working. Phones are tools, not skills.
