Those activities don't take long either. I choose to listen to something while showering. It's ok if you don't understand it or do it yourself, but some people take their phone into the shower.

I make an effort to engage with mine as little as possible, in a perfect world checking it when I wake up when I get home and before bed. For me the phone is a weird mix of useful tool and addictive drug, almost impossible to drop entirely but very much worth limiting access to. Constant stimulation is certainly a choice you can make, but probably not a healthy one. I view what you're doing the same way you might view someone saying they always drink a beer in the shower. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [+] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works -14 points 1 week ago (2 children) This is some boomer shit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] thumbtaxx@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 child) Saying boomer shit about someone having a different point of view is the most boomer of shits... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 week ago* They're literally equating listening to a podcast from your phone in the shower with doing drugs/drinking beer. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 5 points 1 week ago or pooping Those activities don't take long That's a strange assumption here permalink fedilink source parent [–] LiarAmongAll@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago Pooping takes forever 🥺 and please don't say fiber.
