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.

Seeing as electric brushes have already been around for decades I doubt it will happen.
Also because electric brushes don't brush for you. You still use them the same way as a regular toothbrush, they just clean better.
Wait... Are you people doing a "brushing" action back and forth with your electric toothbrushes?
I just move it across each surface once in a slow kinda up and down zig zag — the way you would use an electric buffer or power washer to clean a long narrow surface with multiple sides... Upper set of teeth first; front, left side of mouth to right side of mouth. Repeat for top and back surfaces of teeth. Then repeat it all again for lower set of teeth.
I guess the front of teeth could be combined into one surface, but I'm a raging psychopath.
This is the proper technique. It doesn't cause as much erosion of gums and enamel.
I want like a USB c powered whole mouth toothbrush that looks like two u-shaped chainsaws full of tooth bristles that just wiggle back and forth very quickly and spray toothpaste and mouthwash as they go.
Where is that innovation?
I've something like that but it requires brushing one half of your mouth at a time.
Like a car wash for teeth
