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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Bold of you to assume the average person reads the news

maybe they don't read articles, but news gets out way faster than it used to (including fake news). the avrg 12 yo probably didn't read it, but saw it on instagram or something

“Man, this bitch be blowing up my beeper!” Has a whole new meaning now. Doesn’t it?

Gen Z, probably would know. Although most of them probably don't know what a floppy disk is
