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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Touch screen in cars isn't a good idea, though. They may distract the driver.

Yup! If I'm driving and want to change station or volume I need to be able to know what I'm doing without watching, and it already feels distracting and dangerous enough to me. With a touch screen I can't feel the buttons or knobs and I must look at the screen to do anything.

I never had a car with a touchscreen (my current car doesn't even have an AUX or USB port) so I don't know if it's already like this, but probably an hybrid between the two would be ideal. You get a touchscreen to thinker with it and create presets or whatever when you're not moving, and buttons to change song/station/preset/volume/whatever when driving
