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.

No?

Memento Mori means “remember that you must die”. That is pretty much the same “you only live once”.

YOLO is a little more... eh.. pro-active? Knowing that you are going to die is not quite the same as saying fuck-all and leaping to a possible death. However, there are multiple contexts for YOLO, so there is that.
