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.

If it's death from too much anaesthesia (or, apparently, freezing), there is none.
Is there a way to actually know that?
Is there a way to actually know anything?
I'm sure you could measure brain activity during death to know for sure (but idk under what conditions you'd be able to do that though). It doesn't really make any sense to me that dying, unless due to some painful external cause, would be painful though. Especially under anesthesia or similar.
