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
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

No, but my kids call me a boomer and I’m a millennial. I appreciate the shade.
All this generational nomenclature is so fucking infuriating. All it seems to do is cause friction.
Found the boomer!
No but seriously though, I agree.
Wrong way to approach it.
To parents, start using the word wrong.
Any time you kid does something cool you might have done as a kid. "Awesome, that's so boomer."
If they can't do their homework. "You're such a boomer."
It drives kids up the wall when parents use slang right, but when you use it wrong it's even more infuriating.
