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-----

This is my understanding too. Historically we refer to time periods where life was different. People in the 1500s lived differently than people in the 1800s. It's mostly technological advances that separate time periods. There used to be large gaps of time before technological advances caused changes in society, but that isn't the case anymore. The 1980s were much different than the 2010s. People who were born in those time periods have much different life experiences even if they're close in age.
