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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I share your recollection, and I'm thinking VHS recordings may be the explanation.
It’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with. The weird part is (it must just be tied to when I saw them?) they were decidedly in like a late 80s early 90s style. I’m mystified.
I made the original comment.
I picked 'cigarette commercials' because that seemed like the most obnoxious thing a kid could sing.
Wasn't expecting to get people focused on that.
Who knew?
Apologies haha. Let’s get back to blaming the children!
Speaking as a former child myself, I can say that they are in fact terrible people with absolutely no boundaries.
