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.

Built a large centrifuge, buy a high speed camera, lights and random junk and watch that Youtube money rain.

... yea that would probably work. Like that hydraulic press guy that just squishes stuff.

Some of the worst lab accidents involve imbalanced centrifuges. The rotors essentially explode when they fail. Making a centrifuge that you could film the contents of sounds like it would lack the proper shielding to contain a failure.

I wouldn't trust the average youtuber to know just how dangerous such a setup could be.

So what you're saying is that the show has a built-in potential for extra drama/explosions and amazing destruction footage that could be greatly monetized?

Sold.
