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.

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique

65 y/o is gen x no? boomers would be from the end of ww2 to the civil rights act wouldn't they... oh i guess that's like 60 to 80
all this time i thought my parents were gen x... but they're actually boomers!
My mom's one of the youngest boomers, born in December 1964. She's 59. Still fits the boomer stereotype to a T, though.
how can she be 59 if she was born in 64?
edit: I'm stupid, I was sure 2024 was last year...
i cant do maths apparently
It's okay. This year is aging in dog years.
🤦
born between 46 and 64 according to wikipedia.
Meaning the last boomer will turn 60 just this year.
