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.

"YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing (sopuli.xyz)

I think memento mori means more like "remember that someday you will die like everyone else" - so pretty much "be humble". The ancient Romans used to say that to generals when they returned from a successful campaign as to remind them that they are not almighty.
