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.

Silence is Violence, but so is speaking from ignorance, so maybe keep your dumb mouth shut if you don't know what you're talking about. (lemm.ee)

I get what you are saying.

You are saying that people are part of the problem if they are bystanders to harm. The second part of what you are saying is that you shouldn't start gossiping about something you do not know enough about. It seems to me you are trying to say that you should be careful to speak the bare truth and to not assume or exaggerate in any way.

Sounds like a shower thought. I'm not sure why people are getting bent out of shape. Give this dude a break.

I'm often for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but the "keep your dumb mouth shut" part makes me feel like this is less of a shower thought and more of a "I didn't know where to complain" thought.
