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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

"However, they (they as in Gen Z) are far less (less as in compared with the Millennials) adept at understanding how to use technology"
You just added in the "they as in gen z" and the "less than millennials part" into the text. The text is referring to both millennials and gen z at this part in the text and it is comparing them to their older counterparts which would be gen x and boomers lol. There is also no source for this claim it's just what some guy thinks. No actual study or data is provided.
The article does not compare gen z and millennials. Show me the unedited quote. Of them doing that.
Show me the quotes where it says tech literacy is declining. Like I said, you're making abstractions based off of vibes. None of your sources provide any data showing tech literacy declining.
