Showerthoughts

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

have you considered that there are people your age that were broke as kids, or non-westerners, that also don't remember pokemon red/blue
Have you considered the meaning of the words "young enough to"?
i'm saying that what you see as generational divide can be partially also class divide
I'm not talking about a generational divide. I'm talking about feeling old. Me, being in my 40s. Perhaps I could've led with that.
There are people poor enough to have never had the taste of {premium food option}
While true, the sentence fails to deliver the same feeling op tried to share with us. The comparison is therefor meaningless.
Specifically “the feeling of still considering yourself to be young while realizing the same people you once considered infantile little kids are now your fellow mature adults.”
The class war is real, brutal and should be talked about. But this was not the right place.
Japan is western confirmed.
