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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I mean that, or they’re old enough to understand the world is flaming pile of garbage. Or their hormones and brain development are all out of wack so they know what they want to do but not why they can’t just do it. Or the fact they’re dealing with the move to high school and the pressures of academia, puberty, trying to carve out their own sense of identity and self worth… any of those sound more plausible as “you aren’t as cute as you were when you were 4”.
I'm not saying it's because they're not cute anymore, I'm saying it's because people around them stop being so kind and gentle with them.
