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

Respect is earned. And a lot of these adults have given zero reason for them to be respected. Children are not servants, that's a wrong and stupid way to look at it.
Kids doing weird stuff that doesn't totally conform to the culture is not a respect thing. Its just the evolution of culture. For example when I was a kid, painting your fingernails was almost unheard of. Basically only the hard-core emos or a rock singer or something would do it.
These days you see young kids painting their fingernails and it's not a big deal to anyone. I'm the Socrates here because I think it's weird but I try to stay open minded that things are different now and will continue to change into ways that will seem stranger and stranger to me
