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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

Saying 'completely turned my life around' is normal, but saying 'turned my life around 360°' (rather than 180) is stupid. (lemmy.ml)

Well, apparently the word never meant anything bad when it was originally put to that phrase, but now I have to edit it out because it means something else these days.

Trust me, I would have rather been in the business of flipping ducks, as some kind of duck farmer, than feeling like Book of Job and losing everything after my husband flipped his life and everything he owned to his friends.
