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.

I love that this is basically a "back in my day" but disguised as a problem that zoomers will have. Old man shouts at cloud but instead one day zoomers will yell at water in the sky!

Yes. That's exactly what's happening. I recently heard someone my age lamenting the fact that kids these days don't know what the save icon is because they don't know what floppy disks are. I thought "Who gives a fuck?" Then later on a TV show I saw people using the verb "Tweet" and I thought "Well that's going the way of the dodo" and here we are.
