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

Gen Z, probably would know. Although most of them probably don't know what a floppy disk is
Floppy disks are too iconic, even if as Save-buttons. Now try them not knowing early ones were actually floppy!
I'm talking about myself, my 1997 ass had only heard of, and saw pictures of, the hard ones
I drew a floppy disk as part of an online game of Pictionary and the youngest member of the team thought it was a Playstation 4.
Although he also tried to spell tarantula with a Q in it, so maybe there's something else going on there.
