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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

Seems like just about everyone has a video doorbell and/or other cameras monitoring their property. Took it for granted in my youth without even knowing it.

No Internet access = no music... But even that's not true cause everyone got mobil data etc

Or be like me, one of the few ppl still collecting music and storing it digitally. Whenever we lose internet it's fine since I still have my local library of music, movies, and tv shows that I can play on any TV or device in the house. Just don't shut off the router, unplug the internet and your good.

Thats the way to go! What would you listen to if YouTube and Spotify just dissapear tomorrow?

I am the weird one here but I am the only one of everyone I know who doesn't use Spotify or any music service. I got a 6 month free trial years ago and I guess I was just so set on how I look up music and discover it that Spotify was getting in the way of that and so I barely used it.

I just looked and currently have 156k songs, 13k albums, and 3.2k artists to choose from so I got some choices! Been doing this since early to mid 2000's. If I had to pick right now probably Blur since I've been on a Blur kick recently with the new album released.

Ye. But after 6 months trial, did you have to like cancel it or do You owe* 100s of dollars to Spotify now?

We're all dieing to know...

Thx

No I just canceled it the month before it expired and it was completely free. I think the standard is 3 months but I believe I got this for a bigger than normal purchase like a new phone maybe? Figured it was worth trying out. I think the only requirement was the account used couldn't have used or been signed up for pro prior.

This assumes you have cell access. Not everywhere in the world does.

This assumes you're alive. Not everyone that's lived is still alive.

See how stupid that sounds?

You sound like my bf lol. Internet goes out and he can't do anything, meanwhile I got my locally stored music/shows and single player games
