I don't support age shaming. Let's not be those people.

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
- 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
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

MODERATORS
I’m so happy to find a new community. Looking around quickly this seem like a much better group of people to interact with than reddit.
I can’t express enough how glad I am this place exists and I can be done with reddit forever
I hail from the days of BBS (Fidonet days), text based internet, email, Newsgroups (Eternal September Survivor), Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, now here. It's all about what you have to contribute, how you communicate, and how you present yourself.
I came after Reddit broke Google. Or more correctly: reddit fixed Google, but then broke itself. Dunno about kids.
Huh... I just thought everyone here was just well spoken and kind
Upfront it's like that. You can still "make the wrong comment" and get attacked by people for extended periods of time who seem to have nothing better to do than dig through huge threads looking to argue with strangers who are already getting downvoted.
Edit: thankfully it's actually kind of fun having all of them argue with chatGPT.
