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.

Straw is shaped like a straw...
Hay is like grass, it basically is grass really.
Yea, hay is a generic term for grasses used as feed.
Ok, so if you pull up the entire plant, you get the roots, stem and leaves. I guess straw would be another word for the stem and hay for the leaves.
From different plants. Straw is from, I think, cereals (wheat, barley, etc) whereas hay is from grass(es?).
Different plants. Got it.
