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.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

I made the original comment.

I picked 'cigarette commercials' because that seemed like the most obnoxious thing a kid could sing.

Wasn't expecting to get people focused on that.

Who knew?

Apologies haha. Let’s get back to blaming the children!

Speaking as a former child myself, I can say that they are in fact terrible people with absolutely no boundaries.
