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

I feel like I used to see a lot of women with super long nails struggling to use their touchscreen phones. I'm sure at least some of them have chosen slightly shorter nails to make it easier.

The thing that confuses me about those nail polishes is like, anyone who uses nail polish to the point where they'd consider that would also be using a clear top coat, which seals the nail and would prevent the conductive nail polish from doing it's "thing"

...also it wouldn't work on most devices because most screens are capacitive, not resistive. Like you can use the backside of your nail on your screen with normal nail polish on and it'll work, because it's about the surface area and capacitive difference, not about closing a circuit
