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
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    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-----

The recent events will probably be the first time that Gen Z and Gen alpha are hearing about 'Pagers'. (lemmy.ml)

fun fact people born after 1996 are Gen Z

Exactly, so the idea that millennials the generation older than Gen Z are "too young for cassettes" is laughable.

People born in 1995, and early 1996 are millennials, and billions of cassettes existed around them as they grew up.

I was born in 2001 and I still used casettes when I was a kid
