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.

Had the song It's Raining Men stuck in my head. Got me thinking. Would my home owners insurance cover the damages to my house? And what about the clean up?

In the book series Red Rising, there's a part where one army terrorizes a city by flying over it and dropping all the POWs it captured. Lots of them dropped from low orbit but high enough to take a bit to hit. All nude and alive, hundreds of thousands of soldiers.The character that describes it suggests that the city looks like the windshield of a transport after driving through a bug swarm. It's such a brutal and horrific description of the violence. In a book series that really does a good job at describing violent uprising, that part really painted a vivid scene in my head.
