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 think I'm understanding what you mean but it's very clunky. Maybe try again?
You're saying that Thomas the Tank Engine and Lighting McQueen introduced kids of different generations to trains and cars.
To jump on the semantics bandwagon, "yesteryear" would have been more appropriate.
I'm not sure those two IPs were as generational as you're giving them credit for. There's also nothing very interesting about your observation, if I understood correctly.
