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.

Not at all. I'm responding to OP, and while my comment is informative and sourced so that other people can understand it too, I do not care at all that my in-kind response turns some people off.

As scrambled as your brain is, anything could.

And you've learned how to copy and paste! Big day for you.

Haha, it was fun.

Yeah just like you copy and pasted your ethos from Wikipedia.

If you're this wrong about a two-syllable word, you shouldn't worry about cracking the code.

Thanks, trusting wikipedia because it has a "source"(, as if a source meant the truth 🙄,) is super weird, and i'll also add that a lot of sources are inaccessible anyway, such as those pointing to books. Wikipedia will hopefully(, in part because it's always a mistake to pretend knowing "the one truth",) be replaced one day, it's long overdue.

The inaccessibility of many wiki sources is a very good point, thanks.

I think Wikipedia serves its purpose as a broad strokes indicator of things that are likely significant in some way, but its limitations are as important as its content.
