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.

Flatlanders can only see other flatlanders in a single dimension: a line. All flatlanders would look similar, no matter what shape they were, however from different angles the line that represents them would change length with some shapes and not others. A sphere is one of the shapes where the line would stay at a constant length.
