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.

Spin science!

We should take one of those ballistic jelly torsos, and put it into a massive gyroscope and spin it see what happens
