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.

It was right there with flying cars and domed cities on the moon. That was part of the whole Disneyworld/OMNI Magazine promise about life in the year 2000.

Speaking of utopias, have you heard that the internet was supposed to bring people together and ends pointless debates?

The idea was that people would be exposed to opposing viewpoints since everyone could communicate effortlessly with everyone. Information would also be easily available to everyone, which would make it clear who is right and who is wrong.

Yeah, that worked out perfectly…

Someday soon I'm sure we'll get that paperless office.

My office is paperless, but we're a tech startup.

My office is paperless and we’re a staid finance company.
