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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Look up slime molds. Suuuuper interesting stuff, they are often regarded as an early model of evolution from single-celled to multi-celled organisms
