My office phone has a dial tone. It's VOIP but when you pick up the receiver it BOOOOOOOPs... So I think it was last week I heard one...
Hopefully not for the last time...
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:
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.

Same for the R2D2-56k gatekeeper of the internet; master of the slow reveal.
Sometimes I pick up the phone behind my desk and just listen to the dial tone. Having a voip line from my fiber internet provider is cheap. Sometimes I’ll use it to connect my old computers to the line and dial into the few remaining bbs.

Sadly my parents’ new IP phone service uses the dialtone as some kind of branding trick - you go off-hook and get this “designed” audio prompt that slides into a normal dialtone, presumably to make you remember you’re not just using “the phone”. It was very disconcerting when I first heard it.
