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.

What if only those who commit suicide get reincarnated? Like you failed the exam and you're forced to re-take it. (sh.itjust.works)

I once showerly thought that reincarnation could not even be tied to entities that we would consider sapient. A bit like Leibniz'idea of a monad.

For instance over could be trapped for millennia as a copper atom, solidified in an asteroid. So when you get to be in an animal form it is something fantastically rare and wonderful. And when you get a human body is the most exhilarating thing ever!

If more people were too believe that, life wouldn't be treated with the disdain we often put on it.
