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.

Blowing air out of your mouth, like blowing out a birthday candle, is just a DC form of talking. (self.showerthoughts)

Error being blown out of your mouth is similar to DC ( direct current ) and that it's a continuous wave of air with frequency zero. While speaking is like AC ( alternating current), a longitudinal wave that moves back and forth at a variety of frequencies.

All talking is DC, unless you also speak while breathing in.

Speech, like all sound, is a wave that moves back and forth parallel to the direction of motion. This is the context that I describe it as AC.
