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.
Rules

- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

In my area the first 500k would buy you at least 150 acres, the 100k would buy a tractor to clear out enough woods for a house, put in a well, run power lines and septic. 200k would buy you the materials for any house you could imagine. 8 bedrooms 8 baths? Sure. A duplex with a workshop? Hell yeah. One ground floor and 3 sub-basement levels? Now we're talking.
The last 300k would buy you a business in the local town for some income.
