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.

Just the o changes to p which is also next in the alphabet

While actually taking a shower, I was thinking about my current favorite game Heroes Forge. In Linux (snap; it's also for mobile), its window title is just "Heroes" and I was like visually picturing that word in my head, when I noticed, just another line on the o would make it "Herpes" and those letters are also next to each other in the alphabet. I saved that thought to post it here after the shower.

(The game is very fun btw. Like only the battles of old Final Fantasy games, no walking around; no story. It just has a bug where it downloads its 200MB asset file to a temp dir where it gets deleted every boot, but easy to wrap in a shell start script that tars and untars it, if missing.)

Stopped reading after, "While taking a shower". TMI and redundant.
