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

Your life will be what you make of it. Fuck all the memes and the circle jerk pity party that is the internet. To be, or not to be, that is the question.
This is usually pretty consistent. I'm well into my 30s and it was the same when I left school, some left on a mission so do something with their lives, others left preaching doom and hopelessness. Regardless of the luck of their upbringing, of those I still know of, the doomsayers are mostly depressed bums and the others are all doing stuff and have purpose.
Life really is what you make it and nothing long lasting is built over night.
Yeah I'm almost 60 and it was similar back during the cold War. There was no online echo chamber to amplify it back then though
