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.

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. (lemmy.world)

It’s also fun watching your friends call out Uncle Bob and Grandma for being complete racists, and the conversation spiral completely out of control.

I said something like "you think Israel would care more about marginalised people"

My Jewish aunt commented. Then I said I seen some Israelis being disrespectful. Then my friends commented. Then it turned into a shower of shit and I decided not to say anything else.

Have seen here since lol. Seen my uncle and their kids but not her.
