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.

We’re probably a lot like animals born in captivity. You don’t know what you’re missing but at the same time there are benefits and the benefits of being in captivity are all you know. So you defend your captors like a dog defending its owner because they look after you in many ways. But there’s a whole world out there that you have never known that could have been yours, for better or for worse. Sounds a lot like capitalism or many other forms of government for that matter.

Edit: hold on forget that, I drew parallels to make a simile which makes my opinion invalid
