shower thoughts

Is there a word for "observation that seems poignant in the moment and then sort of gets instantly muddled into the background noise of your head, only to pop up at the most inappropriate moment?" If not, that's kind of what tweets are. That's not a bad thing, they're fun. Balls of wit make up some of the great funny tweets and tumblr gems to quote later.

The subreddtit r/Showerthoughts offers moments of insight and clarity that most of us can only hope to dream up when we're in the shower. A few minutes of silent, pensive oneness with the universe and soap is sometimes the only way to get the brain really running. Shower thoughts melt minds in all the right ways.

People often get caught up in giving themselves over to thinking about all kinds of random stuff while taking a shower. And amidst that random, sometimes brilliant, glowing, genius shower thoughts arise. The kind of thoughts that really make you slow down, and think about everything, and why it is the way it is. 

Nothing like a batch of shower thoughts to occupy the mind and fill the void. For whatever reason our brains churn out all kinds of nuggets of half-baked wisdom when we're in the shower. Whether it's the sobering realization that our tongues have the hardest job, and are constantly avoiding being chopped off; or something more innocent like the fact that taking crumbs away from an ant could make said ant look like a liar to the rest of the colony; shower thoughts are a swell time.

The shower is the home to people's strangest, and sometimes most profound realizations. It's a place to connect the dots, or ponder, or just get lost in the stream of thinking until you come up for air with something that could be an "aha" moment. These shower thoughts were a whole lot of fun to scroll through. With everyone caught up in the self-quarantined time due to Coronavirus, some folks might be taking more showers than usual. So maybe, more brain melting shower thoughts.

We are our wisest selves in the shower, and these nuggets of wisdom prove it. 

The shower is the perfect place for your mind to wander down various rabbit holes. Something about it seems to lead people down strange avenues of thought. Often these thought exercises leave us with an interesting reflection on our own reality. Some may be profound. Most will be next to useless shower thoughts about how almost no one has ever made real eye contact with their own ass, or something.
