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.

Wait so when this happens on normal sites is it an example of how effective non-federated sites are? This happened on Reddit, Digg, Something Awful...
