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.

People were quicker to violence in the Wild West days because everyone was struggling with the effects of cumulative CTE brought on by brain-rattling horse-based transport on roadless surfaces (lemmy.world)

A single mildly bumpy ride won't turn you into an NFL domestic abuser, but over the course of 20+ years? And if you were on horses or in rickety carts from the time you were a squishy infant? Boom, curdled grey matter.

No horses = no war, no murder, just pure enlightenment and peace on Earth.

Beware the horse 👀

How rough do you think riding a horse is?

You aren’t going to get CTE unless you’re falling off the thing. Horse riding is a pretty gentle event even when at a full gallop.
