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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

And when the light from Andromeda reaches us in 2.5 million years, you'll all see my shower thought was right.

And in 2.5 million years when the light from your thought reaches the folks in Andromeda, they’ll be like…

“Woah! Star Wars happened right here!”
