People bring their phones into the shower?!

[–] GalacticRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago

Always wild concept to me. People bringing their $1000 electronics into an environment not made for them. Like come on, how long are you in the shower, do you really need to be entertained while washing your body?

That's where all the best ideas come from!

Back before smartphones, when everyone was bleaching the tattletale to get the phone warrantied after getting even a little water near it, there was a rumor going around. Kids with friends in Japan were hearing that people over there had waterproof cellphones and would be talking while in the shower. We were super jealous, not for shower talking, but for the feature. I’d think ICP rated phones today should be able to handle some humidity.

This sentence fragment really threw me for a loop lol... It took a minute, but I got there eventually.

There are Insane Clown Posse rated phones!? I need one of those because I keep killing mine because I spill Faygo on it.

Just be sure to keep it away from magnets as we don't know how they work

Can't give your wife any chance on reading texts of you hitting on other women.

Notthst I'm cheating with other women (seriously who can be bothered) my phone is locked with my fingerprint. As much as we share a lot in life I have not given her copies of my fingerprints so she couldn't unlock the phone anyway. In theory she knows the passcode but since she asks me for it every single time she needs to use my phone I'm recently confident she doesn't retain it.
