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.

I've noticed my boomer parents using instagram and tiktok. I can't tell you how excited I am for them to kill those platforms like they did facebook. (lemmy.world)

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.
