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.

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

Something tells me this day will eventually live in greater infamy than 9/11.

Like in 2230, provided there is still something resembling the human race, "9/11" will be just another boring date to memorize together with shit like the Alamo w/e.

The day the republic fell, however, will be a lot more recognizable and memorable.

248 years. Empires "always" last around ~250 (Let's ignore the Romans for now) so we're exactly on time.

Bull fucking shit.

They last from 0 years to 1427, and 250 is not the average.

This 250 years nonsense needs to die off.
