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.

We've all heard the stupid meme. "Millennials would have more money if they didn't order so much avocado toast!"

But when was the first time you can honestly say you saw avocado toast on a menu? I'm a millennial, live in a town of about 500k, and I didn't see avocado toast at any restaurant until like 2 years ago? Wellll after the meme came out.

Was it a boomer psyop to get millennials hankering for some avocado toast, and then poof! it's on the menu after critical media saturation of millennial's obsession with it?

That's late for Gen X, right on the edge of Millenial. Some people call '77-83 Gen Y or Xennials.

Thanks for explaining it. I tend to forget the dates easily because I have great friends in all generations.

It makes sense to me because I fall in that range and have noticed I have more in common with Millennials than Gen X, but still feel distinct from the two.
