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.

Why haven't car manufacturers standardized automatic brake lights when a built in accelerometer detects deceleration? (self.showerthoughts)

I personally think cars should have two brake light switches. one for when you're pressing the pedal at all, and one for when you're slamming on the pedal.

that way the people behind you know if you're just slowing down a little or actually braking.

I know cats that blink the middle light if you brake hard.

EDIT: I'm not fixing that typo
