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

When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up. (lemmy.world)

Same. My mother died when I was 26. My step mother is now 70, and her mother just died a couple months ago.

I can’t imagine my mother still being here, and still being here until I’m old.
