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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

The entire showerthought must be in the title
Avoid politics
1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.

A printing press? Lots of pamphleteers and great cardio? Would be excellent training for the zombie apocalypse as well.

Mao Zedong was able to take over China as a result of the Long Walk.

It’s my pet theory that BDNF-mediated hippocampal densification is behind a lot of social revolutions.

If you want to become a populist leader, find an excuse to walk a thousand miles. Secret ingredient to any populist uprising: the legwork.
