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.

Yeah, just shut works for either. It's less so redundancy and more specificity.

If you think about it, there's only meaning with a frame of reference. Shutting up or shutting down could be nonsensical in the Void, as many things would be, I imagine.

Shut the door, or close the window. Which came first, Doors or Windows?.. ๐Ÿค”

Depends. If a room just has a hole in the wall, is it still a doorway?

So if I just kick a hole in a wall at a friends house, it's ok to pee into it as well?
