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.

but one thing it might’ve gotten right was envisioning a version of a global communications network where only LICENSED ADULTS have access. I feel like keeping things free and open is more important and society should've adapted to the internet. Instead, the internet and all technology was pushed to the mass market as quickly as possible and now it is a heaping pile of garbage.

There is probably a way to age gate things well or whatever but I don't know.
