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've always been a "lurker" on all platforms and communities because when I do have a question or would like to contribute my first thought has become:

Actually, let me google it first

In which case I'll usually have some answer. Usually it isn't a complete answer but enough for me to not want to share my question anymore.

The real irony is that, for a number of questions, the "answer" was either in StackOverflow or one of its similar sites, or in Reddit

Or more infuriating is when I AM searching Google and the results bring me to some asshat saying "Just google it bruh."

Why would you even take the time out of your day to go on a Q&A forum and respond like this to someone asking a question? Do these people not have hobbies? That kind of response is more insulting than just not getting a response.

Yeah, if you're going to respond you should make the response useful. You can politely tell them to make use of Google and answer the question.

U too?! Bro, i tough it was something wich could happened but just in really weird instances, but it seem like isn't really strange at all.

I remember pulling my hair the first time it happened, I was absolutely baffled!
