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.

Saying 'completely turned my life around' is normal, but saying 'turned my life around 360°' (rather than 180) is stupid. (lemmy.ml)

While we're on the subject, why is it called "reverse cowgirl" but we don't really call regular woman on top "cowgirl"?

We do. Cowgirl is a sexual position.

In my day it was called female superior. And we invented it, so we should know.

References to it can be found as far back in history as the Kama Sutra, a 2,300-year-old Hindu text that included descriptions of hundreds of sexual positions.

Hmm. Maybe it's a regional thing? Where I'm from, I've never really heard it called that.

I’ve heard of it, and that’s what all the books of fun positions call it
