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.

I have an acquaintance that is having their life ended next month due to constant medical suffering and just had this morbid thought. Care Now could have a spinoff business called Death Now.

They had that in Soylent Green, and in Futurama there were suicide booths.

That wasn't suicide, though. It wasn't a voluntary decision chosen when you wanted it, but was forced on you at a time allotted by society.

Carousel was no more suicide than the gas chambers at Auschwitz.
