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.

But light isn't a particle it's a wave. I mean, just look at it... Oh... Forget it. It's a particle.

It's neither a particle nor a wave, it's a photon.

A zebra is neither a horse nor a tiger, though it shares properties with both.

It was a joke -- it behaves as a wave until you observe it; then it collapses into a particle.
