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.
Rules

Of course. But a fun (actual) showerthought nonetheless. As I remembered it earlier today, a qr-code (version 40) can hold about 3000 bytes.
Indeed!
I actually encoded a 256 byte DOS assembly demo (not written by me) into a self decoding plain text batch file, and then for the hell of it encoded that into a QR code.
Again, disclaimer, I didn't write the original code, but it was fun to convert into a QR code.

MattKC totally made a version of snake that fits in a QR code, his website covers it too
