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.

There needs to be a way to only get one push notification for every new message in a group chat (lemmy.world)

I dont know about others, but sometimes I am not able to check my phone, or be fully present in a conversation that I'm part of. Maybe I'm concentrating on work, or driving, and not able to look. It gets distracting when my phone is constantly buzzing and chiming for 5 minutes straight. Muting the chat can help, but if you forget to check it, or get added to a new one, you can't really do anything about it. I just want to be able to get notified once that the chat has new messages, decide how I want to react, and then move on from it. Is that too much to ask?

I just set group chat notifications to silent.

I still get a notification that's easy to spot in the tray/bar, but it doesn't play sound or vibrate, so it's not distracting unless I'm already looking at the screen.

I just have my phone silent at all times. I might miss a call once in while, but I don't get many calls anyways.

Man, phones aren't for communication, anymore

They are, but the way people communicate changed..
