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
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Gen Z is a lot older than you think, early gen Z were around when fax machines were still common. Gen alpha maybe though.
Fax machines are still in big use. Source, am an attorney without a fax machine and it's a major pain in the ass because all older attorneys use them.
people don’t still fax for work? maybe my country is old fashioned.
Do you live in Japan?
Fax is common in Germany too
switzerland too
You're not gonna believe this but early gen alpha were around when fax machines were still common.
Gen beta will probably still see faxes being used by public administration
