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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

All this excess of information, games, shows and everything else is ruining our boredom, which is usually what leads us to think more creatively (programming.dev)

Respect is earned. And a lot of these adults have given zero reason for them to be respected. Children are not servants, that's a wrong and stupid way to look at it.

Kids doing weird stuff that doesn't totally conform to the culture is not a respect thing. Its just the evolution of culture. For example when I was a kid, painting your fingernails was almost unheard of. Basically only the hard-core emos or a rock singer or something would do it.

These days you see young kids painting their fingernails and it's not a big deal to anyone. I'm the Socrates here because I think it's weird but I try to stay open minded that things are different now and will continue to change into ways that will seem stranger and stranger to me
