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.

If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you.

This isn't a shower thought, it's just a repost of an ancient meme

There have been a couple people that survived falling without a working parachute. Crazy rare, though.

It's not the falling that kills you, it's the sudden stop

As long as you can figure out that first step you're fine!

You only need one if you plan to skydive twice.

You could also use a wingsuit, or a whole lot of helium balloons.
