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.

Due to its asynchronous and discreet nature, people don’t have to be in physical proximity or expect immediate responses.

Texting is the opposite of discreet. It produces a written record of everything that’s said.

That’s why I use the untraceable Xbox party chat

Yeah but going through your partners phone without consent is a breach of trust and asking to go through their phone only happens once you suspect something. I'd say texting makes cheating easier to hide but also easier to prove

Apps like Snapchat, signal and WhatsApp offer disappearing messages. And all three of those aren’t recorded by your carrier. What then?

Snapchat and WhatsApp aren't private

To your significant other… very much so
