Imagine a hunk of plastic in the shape of a burger
Jesus, i really didn’t get any of what this was trying to say. Showering with headphones is perfection? A burger is perfection? This burger is perfection?
It has a very round puffy top so it looks impressive
There are two memes here. The first is the image of a “perfect” burger (I prefer mine with lettuce and sesame seeds on the bread, but whatever) and the second is a joke about Americans needing burgers to be able to understand something.
It also sounds weirdo to me. How would someone was their hair with headphones on? Unless, by headphones, they actually mean ear buds. Then again, I would be afraid of getting electrocuted or some shit. Even if they were supposedly waterproof.
And burgers are shit food on the best of days anyway. They are what you eat when everything else is closed and you forgot to buy groceries.

Nah, fam. There is such a thing as a good burger out there, and it can be pretty damn good. You won’t find it at some 24/7 fast food place, though.
You can’t get ‘electrocuted’ from an earphone battery, it’s not nearly powerful enough. A car battery (lead-acid) could in some scenarios deliver unpleasant shocks.
Unpleasant shocks are what I meant. English is my second language so sometimes I get terms wrong. But yeah, I wouldn’t want to have an electronic device close to my ears when I’m getting drenched.
Don’t worry that wouldn’t happen with such a small battery. You would not feel anything at all.
You can wet your fingers and touch a 9V alkaline as an experiment, or touch that to your tongue - this has more than twice the voltage of the cell typically used in earphones

Well now, just to be contrary, I want to design a circuit that could deliver a deadly shock even with such a small battery.
I’m going to need a research lab, a few dozen live pigs, an assistant to do the soldering for me, and probably a lot of capacitors … but I think it could be done. The key, I think, will be finding just the right combination of amperage, voltage, and frequency to best disrupt the rhythm of the heart.
That burger is a horrorshow. Who the hell wants un-melted cheese? The bun isn’t toasted either.
Also, seems to be missing the rest of the toppings. No way there’s any lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, bacon, or any combination of the above, on there.
There is most likely chopped onions, pickles, ketchup and mustard. I’m 99% sure it’s a double cheeseburger from McDonald’s.
Onions
Pickles
Ketchup
I thought americans don’t eat veggies??
We allow it if they’re cut into really teeny tiny pieces.
Wait ketchup is a vegetable now? Fuck yes, that means I had so many vegetables on my french fries the other day! I like vegetables on hot dogs, burgers, they’re great spread over a meatloaf, as a kid I would even put vegetables on my baked beans (I still do it sometimes as an adult). Can’t forget about special sauce/1k island: mix together some mayo, mustard, a little relish, some vegetables. Mmm mmm, living healthy never tasted so good!
I like green peppers so that’s something. I don’t think it’s because i’m American. I think it’s because i’m autistic.
It’s hard to melt the cheese when the patty is so thin that a 3kmph wind for 8 seconds at 22C is sufficient airflow to cool it.
Is that wind generated by the wings of an African or a European swallow?
I don’t know tha-HWAAAAAAAaaaaaaa!!!
Maybe they hate the idea of showering with headphones
I’ve always found it funny that “horror show” and “хорошо” sound the same but mean completely opposite things 🤭
Life, if people actually bought and used headphones in public instead of being fuckin shitstains.
You can shower with headphones
*Working ones
Yes, those.
Yeah, waterproof headphones exist … but washing your hair is going to be a pain.
Better to just have a portable speaker outside the shower.
It really isn’t a problem. Even wired ones don’t get in the way as long as the hair is over them. My hair is almost down to my ass, and the first headphones I ever used in the shower were cheap skull candy ones that were wired Bluetooth. No issues at all hair wise. No issues at all tbh, other than sounding like crap because they were cheap skull candy buds.
“Better” is always situational as well. Better for one person in their situation can change in a different place or time. You get two different people in different places with different needs, and “Better” is so subjective as to be useless as a term.
As an example: quality of sound. The portable speaker is going to vary massively by price when it comes to being clear in sound once loud enough to counter the water noises. Even cheap ear buds don’t have to go as loud to bypass water noise because they at least partly block the sound from reaching the ear in the first place. Which means the sound can be better, and less likely to be uncomfortable due to volume.
Neighbors in close quarters, housemates and timing, personal preferences regarding controlling playback, hearing acuity, etc. There’s a ton of variables in what’s going to be a desirable condition for enjoying music while bathing/showering. So, no, a portable speaker isn’t inherently better. It’s a choice for sure, but just because one person finds it preferable doesn’t make it superior
Not every shower is a hair wash. Especially if you have long hair and shower daily it might be say a 1:4 ratio.
I advocate for headphones in those 75% of showers. Can be very nice.I don’t even have good speakers, so this ensures best sound quality. It also skips the setup steps, if you then proceed to commute to work say. Just a continuous music experience, and you’d have had to put them on later anyway.
Very fitting for the olde 5min shower out the door maneuver.
It does not even look good. It looks like a toy and if you managed to swallow it whole it would likely come out of you looking the same.
Really how is that thing someones version of greatness?
Ok ok but look at the cheese!
that looks absolutely disgusting
What you don’t like your burgers sprayed with polyurethane varnish?
yeah… I don’t even understand the post. They say that being able to shower with a headphone (wtf) would be as perfect has this shit show of a burger? These people are sick.
A fake, gross, plastic borger. Perfection.
The fuck do You need shower headphones for? Put a bluetooth speaker on the sink like a normal person. It doesn’t even need to be waterproof.
Or even make your own passive amp out of a few bucks’ worth of PVC.

Yay. If you don’t count your time making it, you’ll save $10 and have slightly louder, shitty, distorted mono sound…
Yeah, just toss your phone in the sink? Amplifies for free.
Doesn’t even need to be a Bluetooth speaker. If you turn the volume up enough you can use the wired speakers on your stereo system or home theatre system
Instead of a burger it should be a pic of a goth girl with big titties and her feet and toes with black nail polish.
sigh, okay foot fella, I guess I can buy in to your fucked up evocation of perfection, but only for all of the other parts of the image you’ve painted in my head.
I dream beautiful dreams.
Ah, discourse.
It’s why I love Lemmy/PieFed.
Sure is an improvement over “this” and “I also choose this guy’s wife”.
I always use a Bluetooth speaker.
ditto. my aomais go has really good battery life has decent fidelity and can withstand an occasional droplet
i just prop my phone on the top shelf of my shower caddy and hope for the best
Put it in the sink, the sound will amplify.
Playing with water, I see.
You guys don’t just randomly start hearing music inside your head?
Something wrong?
“The guitarist in my head hit a shrill harmonic.”
No its too full of borger
🎼"DO YOU REMEMBAH?"🎶
The trick is to be able to have flagship level anc, waterproof, Bluetooth earbuds, that have great sound, are comfortable, and have good controls, and perhaps have selective passthrough, all in realtime, that are also durable, good battery life, look good, and have repairability, all while not impacting the shower process and motions.
Like… These things are all basically the holy grail.
Edit: bonus points for being able to also wash your ears magically somehow.
Edit 2: or just make a silent shower with very good acoustic properties.
Yeah, but companies want you to buy new ones every year or two.
Boneconduction headphones. Can get real cheap ones from aliexpress, I use them for swimming every week
Some of the cheap ones aren’t real bone conduction. After a fake pair I bought a pair of Shokz, wear them in the shower all the time, usually after getting them (and myself) sweaty.
Well, I can hear mine just fine underwater so whether they are real or not never passed my mind
Yeah, I got a pair that claimed bone conduction, but just has little speakers that play into the air. Can hear them just as well holding them next to your head as wearing them. Didn’t try them under water, they have little speaker holes. They work as emergency backups.
Does the Bluetooth work underwater?
Nope, bluetooth in general doesnt work underwater. Gotta download mp3 files like you are back in the 2000s
sandstorm.mp3
Or wavpack files
Works just as above water except with a range of about 10cm.
Beware of poor fitment though. I got some cheap wired ones years ago (from Amazon), didn’t work so well because they had bad contact and no mechanism for adjustment. Kinda also needed a preamp, though if contact were perfect maybe that’d matter less.
I also am not so sure I’d trust them to be waterproof, and anything that is would likely have a heftier pricetag. That, and I’m pretty tired of everything having batteries.
Been using mine for 3 years now, its 100% waterproof. Also, they sound better underwater/when wet
What headphones do you use underwater?
Literally a random boneconduction headphone I found on aliexpress with good reviews
