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

The recent events will probably be the first time that Gen Z and Gen alpha are hearing about 'Pagers'. (lemmy.ml)

Gen Z is a lot older than you think, early gen Z were around when fax machines were still common. Gen alpha maybe though.

Fax machines are still in big use. Source, am an attorney without a fax machine and it's a major pain in the ass because all older attorneys use them.
