For years, there has been a lot of backlash against the “objectification of showers”, which i can totally understand because it’s a “condescending” term that looks at showers like objects, not as actual places of epiphany.

But the same is happening with the concept of “showerthoughts”: If ideas are referred to as “showerthoughts”, that means that they are being reduced to their hygenic circumstances; to their ability to shower.

That is a condescending term. The view should be that showers are good places for thoughts first, and places to wash your junk second. Thoughts deserve showers, and a good wash, not because they’re showerthoughts, but because they come from showers. That is how showers should be looked at.

    Did you run a lame joke through an AI and post the output?

    If not, get outside because you might have a carbon monoxide leak.

        Thanks, that actually makes it even worse than gibberish. Not because it couldn’t have been funny, just that it is so incoherent.

        If you flipped showers and shower thoughts in the first paragraph I think it would have worked. Not sure if the second could be saved.
