Neat.
ITT: people butthurt by a showerthought because simple math is evidently fake math and should be gate-kept
Numbers
Wait a minute, I did some growing up in the 70s, I’m only 55! /s
Oh no! Fuck!
(also /s)
calculate my father’s age
… Holy fuck!
People in their 10s had some childhood in the 2010s
Peak goofy
This is REAL math done by REAL mathematiciansNeat-o indeed!
Yes. Yes we did.
This feels like less of a shower thought, and more of a dozing off to sleep thought doing math in your head.
From sidebar, emphasis mine:
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.
Counter point: not necessarily. Example: I was born in the late 80s. I really grew up in the 90s and 2000s.
Y’all taking these showerthoughts way too seriously. It’s just a dumb number coincidence that happens to really only work with a particular age group at the current point in time. In a few years it’ll be different, and it isn’t true for every single data point, but this isn’t a philosophical revelation community.
The joke is I said 60s and 70s twice and it mostly works out.
And yea, I’m not relating it to your birth year, but the formative years. My mother is in her mid 60s, born near the end of the '50s, but the childhood years she remembers fondly are all in the '60s.
It’s numbers man don’t take it too seriously
