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.

It's useful for a lot of stuff but it's been waaay over hyped, mostly by youtubers desperate for content. So I think a lot of people are having a counter-reaction to that.

Once everyone calms down and realise it's not an automatic-do-everything-machine, they'll appreciate the circumstances in which it actually is useful.
