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

I can't imagine there would be that many people who would want to look like an actual child. 20-ish, maybe, but not 12. Think about it. You'd have trouble keeping a job because no one would take you seriously. You'd probably get harassed by cops if you tried to drive anywhere. Everyone would treat you like you have no experience or knowledge.
Trust me, I am one of those people who looks 10-15 years younger than I am. I don't look nearly as young as 12, but I still do not enjoy looking young. I often feel alienated from my age group because they don't see me as one of them until they find out my age.
I mean... That's just like saying that noone would want to be trans because society would be asshole-ey to you...
