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
    • 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I hope that was not serious.

Why? It’s a time-honored parenting tradition. And one that doesn’t involve child abuse.

Boomers and child neglect - name a better duo.

Boomers and pulling the ladder up behind them.

I'm told that the joy of embarrassing your children is the main upside of parenting, actually.

Like being Michael Scott/David Brent of The Office on purpose and they have to be the long-suffering employees of Dunder-Mifflin/Wernham Hogg.

Because no matter how much you play the oaf, some fool still allowed you to be in charge of something important 😁
