Showerthoughts

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

Sue Johanson taught me hair is for retaining and spreading your scent to sexual mates.
Why is everyone on Lemmy at least as old as I am?
Because "works just like email" sounds like a good thing to us.
Apparently most of Gen Z are fine using centralized, for-profit social media. ๐
My 15-year-old stepdaughter went on a 10-minute-long explosive rant about how conservative politicians are retarded and seem incapable of doing math at a basic high-school level which ended with her storming off to write a "book on how they can do better that she will send to the governments". I could not have been more proud. She has even started expressing frustration with the amount of advertising that is going on and is coming to understand just how much information is taken from us every day.
We're not all indoctrinated by zuckyberg don't worry ;)
If it's true that younger folks are more tech illiterate then Lemmy would be a non starter for them because it's more complicated to understand and use compared to centralized services.
