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.

If anyone ever needed evidence that here at Lemmy we're all a bunch of Gen-X olds, a zero-context Mama's Family reference would be sufficient for summary judgment. 🤣

I swear this post was not sponsored by Centrum Silver 😆

I recently watched, Mama’s Family, and my six year old nephew pointed out how old I was. 😑

I’d consider myself a millennial but definitely on the earlier end and I wish there were more Mama’s Family memes. In the words of Craig from South Park “I would be so happy”.

Screencaps are very difficult to find online, but I do have the series on DVD. Had to pop one in and screenshot this for something I replied the other day.

Sir, I think you know what you must to do. Make Momma’s Family gifs and screen shots, for all of us technically incapable of making them… and for the youth.

That explains why most of Lemmy doesn't seem to understand the concept of a meme.

You're right, it is the perfect time for a reboot!

Absolutely, and they'd still have to put her in old lady makeup because she looks fantastic at 75

Nah, forget all that. Let her look like her beautiful self at 75, and be all about aging in the current world. Like that crazy Demi Moore movie, minus the body horror.

I love to see her reprise her role in set in today's times. I loved this show!

I will throw a third hand on this pile!
