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.

It's routine for even relatively unsuccessful posts and comments to get 1000+ views. Imagine that many people huddled around you in the real world hearing your take on the Reddit API changes or looking at the dumb meme you made in 5 minutes. That would be something, wouldn't it? For some reason we don't think it is just because it's happening on the internet.

That's why I try to be interesting, even at the cost of things like accuracy sometimes. Since I'm not a technical guy, I don't really benefit from either accuracy or precision. Instead I ply emotion, humor and some basic rationality to entertain and occasionally try to share something useful. And every once in awhile troll someone. We all have our roots.

You stand for clickbait, and thus evil
