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.

    I skipped those, but I’m about to ruin whatever new platform my kids get in to.

      I can’t wait to log in to the newest gamer platform only to engage in trash talk with a select group of boys. Three of them, to be exact.

      “I fucked your mom!”
      “Dad, go away…”

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

            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 😁

        Implying we aren’t mostly disgruntled boomers here.

          I’m pretty sure we’re mostly disgruntled Millennials and Gen-X’ers.

          Anyhow, it looks like TikTok might finally be heading towards some sort of ban or regulation in the US, so maybe it’ll get killed by the Boomers but in a different way.

          A lot of us are, yeah. Even with young whippersnappers like yourself fizzing around on your electrified skateboards and what have you, I’m pretty sure the average age here on Lemmy is closer to 40 than 30 🤷

              Seriously, people past the age of 30 should not be on the internet. They should be on the golf course or playing shuffleboard or rotting away on a retirement ocean cruiseline somewhere.

                As an elder 40-something, I agree with you. Problem is, the economy doesn’t. I’ll be working until I die. In the meantime, I need the memes to help keep me numb to all the shit going in around me. Please don’t take those away from me. It’s all I have anymore.

                I do enjoy a round of golf. And have you ever played shuffleboard? It’s quite fun, especially on a cruise.

                Shit.

              On lemmy? A platform made by those who miss the “good old days” when reddit was good? Full of old people? Impossible.

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
