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.

Sub-Thought: I wonder how many people punch in “1:00” instead of “60”?
Answer: not enough. Sub-sub-thought: of those people, how many open the door at 0:01 to avoid the bell?
I'll only buy a microwave if it stops beeping when I open the door. So if I open it right as the timer finishes then it only does like half of one beep.
Side note, the microwave also needs to go straight to time entry once I start pressing numbers. I've seen some stupid microwaves that you need to press a Time Cook button before the numbers or it will assume you are using its preset cook settings like "pizza" or "soup".
I've put a note on my microwave to mute all beeps. I've made it very clear to my wife, in the event of my untimely death, she is to show her next husband how to turn off the beeping after a power outage.
Wait you can turn off the beeping???
Not on all of them. Ask me how I know.
