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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

My mom's one of the youngest boomers, born in December 1964. She's 59. Still fits the boomer stereotype to a T, though.

how can she be 59 if she was born in 64?

edit: I'm stupid, I was sure 2024 was last year...

It's okay. This year is aging in dog years.

born between 46 and 64 according to wikipedia.

Meaning the last boomer will turn 60 just this year.
