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.

As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

And tablets killed those digital picture frames. Because why have those when you can just prop a tablet down and have it on slideshow mode.

No? Searching for "digital picture frame" brings up pages of results. These are popular enough because they are much cheaper than an equivalently sized tablet, e.g. a 10 inch digital picture frame details for around $150, which is less than half the price of a crappy android tablet.

Also, tablets don't really exceed 12 inches or so in size, but you can get digital picture frames as large as TVs.

$150 is cheap to you? Um, okay then...

And cars killed horses. Sometimes literally.
