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.

If you take away the sight and smell, it probably feels alright.

Guarantee it would be a widely used substance if it wasn't for the smell... People would be making scriptures out of it and fixing up cracks in their homes. It would be considered innocent and fun, and some would alter their diets to get a particular consistency.

Incredibly gross to us, and probably still unhygienic. Maybe that's why it smells, to keep us away from it!

They used to although they generally used animal dung.

People will make scriptures out of any old shit, as long as it agrees with what they already believe.

If you take away sight and smell, you could probably get some cool synth/bass/rhythm type sounds out of it, too, if you sampled it.
