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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

For cusp people, it has more to do with what generation YOUR parents identify with the strictly your own birth date.
There’s certainly some interesting stuff to consider there. For instance, my wife and I are less than one year apart, but I have a brother seven years older than me, and she is the first born in her family. We’re both in between, kind of, but I have a lot more Gen X memories and experiences, while she has more Millennial ones.
Funny, my father was born to what was considered pretty old parents, for the time. But grandma in particular really wasn’t very representative of the Silent Generation lol
