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 find things that carry over despite having little to do with the original. Tape for example. We were saying that for a while when digital recorders and cameras on phones could do video.
Same with the disk icon. Still used for save despite most millennials now having no idea what the thing is.
Most millenials grew up with floppy disks. You're thinking of Gen Z and Gen Alpha
Oh God there's a new one?
Ah, you must be from gen Z.
Yes new generations will continually be created and older generations will always sneer at them.
Lol that is the usual pattern right
I don't know how to tell you this....
Gen Alpha are everyone born 2010 and later, so yeah, they're 13 at the oldest.
Introducing Generation Alpha.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

That was awful
I know what it is but no idea how it works. I grew up with cassettes for music and CDs
