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.

We need a 4th emergency service for people in crisis to just evac them from bad situations, almost like the witness protection. (self.showerthoughts)

I don't want to get too political in shower thoughts, but this would solve a lot of the hot button issues if more people just had safer and supportive environments to escape to and volunteers / paid professionals to help them on the other end.

That's like half the country....

Maybe we'll end up with just 1 half of the country where people are all chill and caring and the other half can be toxic to each other because they thrive off of unhealthy drama. But oh well.

As an escapee from the south, I'd gladly donate to help people make it out.

Nobody should have to live there, it's inhuman.
