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.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Your version reminds me of Vonnegut's that was something like this in an imagined conversation with Mary Shelly: "Dr. R - Does it bother you when people call the monster in the book 'Frankenstein'? MS - Not really. There were two monsters in the book, after all, and one of them was named 'Frankenstein.'"
