Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.

Socrates bemoaned those young’ns who had the audacity to read their Homer, instead of memorizing it.

What if I found the type content that my generation absorbed to be a problem as well?

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
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.
Posts must be original/unique
Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct-----
