Someone should research why older people struggle to identity whose phone is ringing if it's their own. Even if no one else in their social circle is using the same ringtone. (lemmy.ohaa.xyz)

Don't think it's old people I think it's more audio processing disorder which perhaps could happen to people later in life. All I know is I know people who have audio processing disorder and often times don't realize it's there phone because of how much noise is going around, all ages and all gender and sexes can experience this

I have it also and it's incredibly hard for me to know who's talking or my ringtone /notification even if it's unique. With out my noise cancelling headphones with passthrough, every sound I hear all at once at all times, nearly impossible for me to differentiate between them

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
