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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- 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 saw a Bluetooth toothbrush that send reports to your phone on how good you brushed your teeth, like wtf?!
It also send reports to they corporate overlords. Most probably anyway.
Oh I'm sure your health insurance would love to know the condition of your teeth to increase your rates.
EXACTLY! Hubby has one of those, that function got old pretty quickly.
TBH I use that to make sure my kids brush their teeth before the electronics get Internet in the morning.
Or to make sure they learn hacking skills. Win or win!
Your internet is solar powered?
My home assistant picked up my toothbrush, forgot it had that feature*
It does seem silly to me as well, but is it really any different from people who want personal data for their sleep habits or exercise habits?
