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.

I would say millennials blame boomers for the economy and the reasons why we struggled so much to get a house (if they even have one by now)
So if gen z was in the place of boomers, they would have done differently?
I don't think so. Each person has similar needs. Safety and power comes from money, and money comes from careers or inheritance.
It doesn't matter which year you are born. You all join the circus going on here on earth. And you can only influence your little bit of a single corporation.
If you are a politician, you influence laws, but those laws are often easily bypassed and exploited for profit.
So I wouldn't blame generations of people for anything they did. Just like I don't blame Gen Z for being how they are. They are a product of their environment, same as everyone before them.
Okay... I don't now why that's massively relevant to what I was saying. I wasn't arguing anything in particular other than saying that I've not seen that stereotype being zoomer v boomer and mostly seen it millennial v boomer
I didn't mean to argue about anything. Just a comment with my thoughts.
Fair enough
