I think it is more than that, the shower is a proper refuge where external stimuli is severely limited. Sounds are limited by the running water, temperature is controlled by the water, visuals are limited, and no one is generally barging in.

When I was studying math at University I had a remarkable number of eureka moments in the shower where suddenly infinity made sense. Smart phones didn't really exist then but showers still held power as a great place to think

Currently reading this in the shower...

Have to deeply self censor my comment...

guys.. you are scaring me. No faith for humanity if you guys cant put down your collar for even 10 minutes in the shower......

Zombies

I don't understand the people who say that they use their phones in the shower. I can't even change songs on my phone if it gets water on it because the touch screen gets buggy. Also, what do you even do on your phone in the shower? It's not a hands-off activity.

Jokes on you I read r/showerthoughts in the shower

The shower is where I secretly watch porn in a house of 6 people. Let the water running and start beat my meat with hot water running at my beck.

Until I get my waterproof VR headset

I have deep conversations with Google Assistant in the shower all the time.

I bring mine in shower to play music.

Nope, people use phone in the shower all the time. It’s simply a place of quiet privacy

In the shower rn shopping for boxers

I use my phonein the shower all the time, I watch tv or read things online, who are these people just standing in the shower, not watching tv lol.

I've used my smartphone in the shower a handful of times already, but I usually take steps to double bag it (put it in a clear plastic bag upside down first, fold the excess, then put it in another clear plastic bag the right way up this time). I also just let it play music/video so that I can listen/watch while I shower.

It feels like a luxury to me when I do that.

i have used all of mine in the shower for the last 10 years or longer. i keep a dry towel where i can reach it to dry my hands if i want to switch hands, or the screen if it gets splashed.

i even bring my ebook reader in here from time to time.

just dont hold them in the water and they are fine.

I don't use the phone in the bathroom. I just let my third eye open and find new ideas, fixes to my problems for the day. I can't imagine being on that state of mind longer tho, because the mind tend to wonder in dark places that forcefully resurface painful memories that lingers all day. Kinda a bummer.

not if you're taking a bath tho

The way my brain works, I can have "shower thoughts" while in the middle of posting a short comment. Lack of external stimuli simply increases the noise up there.

I must say I use the phone a lot in the shower. I get bored really easily and I constantly need something to interest me. I watch youtube mostly. Stuff I dont need to touch the phone constantly cos wet finger doesnt work with the capacitive screen.

And for porn.
