Ever heard something that you just can't get out of your head?

Sometimes someone will drop a truth bomb on you that will stay in your mind for ages. Maybe they tossed it off like it was nothing, but your life is forever changed. This happened to me with "100 years new people." This is the concept that every 100 years, the Earth is populated with an entirely different set of people, give or take a couple of centenarians. When you think about it this way, history makes a lot more sense. No wonder we often forget what has gone before us. 100 years, new people! It's a catchy idea, and it unlocked a part of my brain that I wasn't using before. This is what a great shower thought does for us. 

What is it about the shower that inspires these sorts of ponderings? Is it the fact that we're truly alone for one of the only times in the day? Is it because water has a cleansing effect and makes us feel new again, able to unleash all of our creativity and ideas onto the world? Whatever it is, it's a universally acknowledged idea. Whenever we have to bathe ourselves, we open our minds to the possibility of greatness. We hope that the divine knowledge will come through and bless us, so that we may impart it to our friends and loved ones. Sometimes inspiration strikes, and sometimes you just come up with a retort to something that was said to you weeks ago.

  • The following is a list of the best shower thoughts of the month, collected from the corners of the internet that matter the most. They will make you think, they will make you feel, and they will make you wonder why you hadn't thought of that earlier. Maybe some of them will even send you into an existential crisis where you will dwell for weeks, unable to get out of your own navel-gazing. These are the risks we take when we scroll through shower thoughts. These are the risks we're willing to take, because they're absolutely worth it.

    u/HalfEntity • 24 days ago The universe is 13.8 billion years old, but heat death is around 10100 years away, so it has effectively used 0% of its lifetime meaning the universe is still basically a "baby", and we're living in its earliest, most active era.
