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.

While they are amazingly effective at many problems we throw at them, I'm not convinced that they're generally intelligent. What I do know is that in their current form, they are not tractable systems for anything but relatively small problems since compute and memory costs increase quadratically with the number of steps.
