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.

I'm southern with family from Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas and chili is all about the beans. I call chili with chiles, beans and tomatoes "Chili" and if I make it with beans, chiles, tomatoes and meat (stew meat never hamburger) "Meat Chili". Would take chili with beans & corn over chili without beans any day of the week.

Chili with hamburger without beans is something to put on a hot dog or bun. Not a meal, it's like hamburger helper nonsense.

ETA: this is not to say I've never made stew meat in Chile sauce. Cubed brisket finished in sauce of anchos and tomatillos is heavenly. I just never call that chili.
