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.

I seriously couldn't live without cargo pants. At any given time, I'll have at least 4 pockets filled with random stuff. But no pockets? How do you even survive?

Why haven't clothing manufacturers figured this out yet?

Double dipping with purses, executives often being men, and clothes looking svelter without pockets.

Also at scale it's probably cheaper to make clothes without pockets because less fabric.

Same kinda logic as people who complain about ads saying that they'd rather pay for the service, instead of ads. The reality is only about 1% ever do pay. I assume it's similar for clothing, where most people naturally gravitate towards the clothes that look 'best', even if they don't have pockets.
