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
- 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)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

once the boomers get there and start liking it, that's when you know it's about to reach peak and crash hard. my parents are talking about reddit. case in point.
In contrast to the others, Reddit decided to kill itself off before most Boomers have even heard of it:-).
lol you right
Hey now, a lot of us boomers are already on Lemmy.
The boomers I know haven't found reddit yet so there is still time. It's not that boomers are on a platform, it's when boomers like my parents get there that shit starts to spiral out.
There are a lot of Boomers trickling into Reddit, and they are killing it even faster with mass reporting people.
They go into subs that shit on Boomers for being themselves, and since Reddit hands out site bans for anything now it ends up destroying a lot of accounts.
I really hope they never find Lemmy.
The responsible ones.
...
I hope...
My boomer dad has been on Reddit for years. But he just looks at football and fishing subreddits.
They've been there. So have gen x and millennials and obviously gen z. Y'all are so petty lol
