Some of the posts in this community are just crazy out of whack.

    anecdote: during the pandemic every day seemed the same. i sometimes forgot ro shower for a few days. so i put a water sensor in my shower. when i shower, it starts a macrodroid automation that records the date. another macro plans and reminds me when it’s shower time.

        Yes, I, too, feel very real emotions like a desire to run water over my human skin. I definitely do not require microcontrollers to instruct me on when it is time to do so! Just like all completely normal humans. Of which I am one.

        Not always, I’ll often forget to shower until I look in the mirror and realize my hair needs to be washed. Peak pandemic I’d sometimes go a few weeks without showering until I could smell myself. Just not something that’s on my mind most of the time.

        We have a great macrocontroller, a brain.

        Maybe not as reliable but definitely easier to program.

          Except those times where it just stops writing to log files. Sometimes I’ll be in the shower zoned out and find myself on the last step of my routine without remembering completing any of the steps.

        Nah, they didn’t say anything about implementing voice activation by the command “engage”.
