Unironically.

Next time you hear a ridiculous description of the steps required for a ghost summoning or exorcism, just think about all the emails you have gotten from HR that detail the pointlessly overcomplicated process for clocking in and out of work.

Or when you hear Sony just lost all their emails and you are like… what does that even mean?

It’s all just spirit forces blasting back and forth on a cosmic scale of bullshit and silicon.

"Hey grandpa, you have heard about these new Spells-As-A-Service subscriptions where you can access your spellbook anywhere because the spellbook follows you around in a fluffy cloud?"

"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CLOUD SPELLBOOKS, THEY ARE JUST OTHER WIZARD'S SPELLBOOKS!!!!" - grandpa launches off in a tirade and then storms outside for a walk to cool down.

Mom comes over, "honey you know grandpa gets all upset when you start talking about modern spells"

"but why mom, he is a wizard right? Shouldn't he love spells?"

"sigh he does, deep down he does honey, but spells have become so broken by the order of wizards prioritizing "efficiency" over all else...."

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.
