Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

once the boomers get there and start liking it, that's when you know it's about to reach peak and crash hard. my parents are talking about reddit. case in point.
In contrast to the others, Reddit decided to kill itself off before most Boomers have even heard of it:-).
lol you right
Hey now, a lot of us boomers are already on Lemmy.
The boomers I know haven't found reddit yet so there is still time. It's not that boomers are on a platform, it's when boomers like my parents get there that shit starts to spiral out.
There are a lot of Boomers trickling into Reddit, and they are killing it even faster with mass reporting people.
They go into subs that shit on Boomers for being themselves, and since Reddit hands out site bans for anything now it ends up destroying a lot of accounts.
I really hope they never find Lemmy.
The responsible ones.

I hope...
My boomer dad has been on Reddit for years. But he just looks at football and fishing subreddits.
They've been there. So have gen x and millennials and obviously gen z. Y'all are so petty lol
