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.

Geocities circa 94-96. The first place anyone could have a little webpage.

We didn't even have CSS then! We had to build our pages in a cave with a box of HTML tags for scraps. You could do some sick shit with some fancy nested TABLE tags tho.

I remember when they depreciated tables for use in styling, and everybody was freaking out because how could you make a pretty website without them?

We didn't know back then how spoiled we would be with CSS.

I'm pretty sure that all the hats for CSS is from people who never experienced the web before it.

IMHO CSS is a gift from the Gods.
