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

- 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

I leave my phone at home sometimes. There's always something that comes up, but in the end I've realized it doesn't actually matter that much.
I specifically make a point of going on a week long trip every year and leaving my phone at home. I carry an inReach for emergencies, but only give the "number" for it out to a few trusted people with very strict instructions not to contact me outside of critical, actual emergencies like someone dying.
