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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Fair enough. I'm Gen-X and I started complaining about "kids today" when I was about 15. I've always been an old man.
They're gonna think Gen X refers to the generation of The Site Formerly Known As Twitter.
"The x formerly known as y" is a reference that won't be understood by much of the youngest generation.
If it even exists in the future.
