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.

Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else (lemm.ee)

I haven't claimed it doesn't imply fragility too. Just that the uniqueness is the primary meaning of it - thus the term snowflake. "I'm unique and thus deserving of special treatment"

If it was primarily about fragility then we'd probably be using some other term as that is not generally the first feature that comes to mind about snowflakes.
