Not really, the brain has no pain receptors, headaches are in the muscles surrounding your head instead.

As for tips for having a headache? Repeatedly hit your head very hard against the wall, you're guaranteed to get one. /s

And the fact of the brain having no pain receptors was established via a full catalogue of the cells in a person’s brain? Or what?

I don't know, I'm no doctor. But ask any doctor and they will tell you the same.

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.
