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.

Making friends mostly at work causes a lot of consensus bias related to economics because it means less exposure to people who didn't get as lucky with any part of the process of getting that job (lemmy.ca)

I think it's fine to have your own biases, because you're human, and also to be aware that you do, so when you encounter people who are completely out of your normal sphere you will listen to them. It's folly to pretend to be free of imperfections (or even aspire to that). Nobody's above human nature, and there's no reason we should be.
