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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Gen Z is a lot older than you think, early gen Z were around when fax machines were still common. Gen alpha maybe though.

Fax machines are still in big use. Source, am an attorney without a fax machine and it's a major pain in the ass because all older attorneys use them.
