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.

What are we but a collection of memories? Not much. A body, some desires, occasional suffering and joy.
The memories give context to everything else. Change them, and you change everything.
This is why my chronic illness is so terrifying. It's in my brain. Literal brain damage. It's being treated, but I wake up every day with a low lying terror that I have forgotten something important.
