I didn’t know about the rest of you, but I don’t bring my phone into the shower with me.
Is that not shitposting?
The shower is one of the few places where you don’t bring the phone with you, so you are not distracted by external stimuli and are free to think deeply for a long time without interruptions, allowing you to form novel and complex thoughts. If you have a bit of memory retention you then jump out of the shower and post on feddit.
If you have a bit of memory retention
Ah. That’s my problem.
My shitter thoughts are “HUUUGGHHHHHHHHHH!!! pant pant pant HUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!! SPLASH!!! OH THANK GOD FINALLY!!!”
Why would you shower while you shit?
When else do I get to waffle stomp?
I don’t get many ideas on either platform.
You answered your own question. Are you master baiting us?
No. It’s clear to me now that other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than I.
hold onto a thought longer than I.
If you were speaking about someone else, would you use “he/she” or “him/her” in this context?
Because if it’s the former, then you use “I” to replace it, and if it’s the latter, you use “me”.
other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than she.
Doesn’t sound right.
other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than her.
Sounds better.

You are saying I should have said:
“It’s clear to me now that other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than me.”
The personal pronoun, “me” is used when it is the object. However, that’s not the case here. I’m not being held. Thoughts are the object. I’m comparing how well they hold onto thoughts with how well I hold onto thoughts.
The sentence, “It’s clear to me now that other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than I”, has an implied verb. This is common in informal conversation.
The meaning I would expect an English speaker to understand would be, “It’s clear to me now that other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than I can.”
idk, my shower thoughts are usually hypothetical arguments I imagine having with people that would almost certainly never act in the way that leads me to imagine the argument with them to begin with
