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.

I intended to give an explanation, but since this community is pretty general, i.e. we have people from basically all walks of life here, many with little to no involvement or understanding of the tech industry, so I decided to leave it out cause it would be too much to explain.

[email protected] has given us a pretty brief explanation, but I think it can be further simplified, though would require a lot more knowledge build up (i.e. more words). If anyone’s interested, I can try to write a fireplace story, though I can’t say I’m the most qualified person to do so, or give an absolutely accurate story.
