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

anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it's shower time.

Don't you like... Feel the need to wash on your skin? No microcontrollers required?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 73 points 5 months ago

Yes, I, too, feel very real emotions like a desire to run water over my human skin. I definitely do not require microcontrollers to instruct me on when it is time to do so! Just like all completely normal humans. Of which I am one.

Not always, I'll often forget to shower until I look in the mirror and realize my hair needs to be washed. Peak pandemic I'd sometimes go a few weeks without showering until I could smell myself. Just not something that's on my mind most of the time.

OP doesn't lie

[–] halfapage@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Oh well, fair enough. Glad you found a solution that works for you.

We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.

Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.

Except those times where it just stops writing to log files. Sometimes I'll be in the shower zoned out and find myself on the last step of my routine without remembering completing any of the steps.

Nah, they didn't say anything about implementing voice activation by the command "engage".
