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.

The fact that we aren’t aware of every process in our body means our brains aren’t fully connected with our bodies. (lemmy.sdf.org)

Just because we aren't aware of something ourselves does not mean our brain is not aware of it. If you have ever been drunk you probably know not to trust your top level narrative as the end-all-be-all of your nervous system.

Your body gets a fever without your awareness. Create saliva without your awareness.

So “we” are not our brains

This feels closer to the truth.
