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

My parents never used their fine china until my siblings and I moved out. Now we use it on Thanksgiving and that's it. My parents were upset we didn't ask for china at my wedding. They said we'd "wish we had it". I have never wished I had a "nice" plate I had to hand wash .
This reminds me that I read an article on this subject some months back. Apparently a lot of boomers don't understand that their offspring don't want their china and consider it a waste of space.
That makes me wonder what things we have that will seem similarly pointless someday.
