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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Waterproof bluetooth headphones are useless because Bluetooth doesn't travel through water.

Mind you the photo on the front of the package showed someone doing laps, and there were built in clips to keep the phones in even with water resistance.

Everything worked great! They were well built.

Excepting the fact Bluetooth technology doesn't penetrate water, making them as useful as glow-in-the-dark sunglasses.

Fuck i felt so stupid after finding that out.
