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.

As someone with ADHD I'd describe the experience more like profound boredem with everything in life. You seek obsession because you can't generate excitement for normal activities on your own
There are very few videos games I can play because of this. I love gaming, but finding one that I like is extremely challenging.
If I'm playing with my friends the excitement of making jokes and having fun is enough for me. But if I'm alone no game brings me joy if it's not my current hyper fixation.
