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 get into political arguments on the internet all the time, and nobody cares. Enders Game definitely lied to me about how the world works.
