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.

To get your final spontaneity ability score, you have to multiply base spontaneity by a factor of

     1  
––––––––––––  
1 + 1000 * k  

where k is the number of kids you have.

I think you have to also account for the kids' ages. An infant is different than a toddler, teen, or adult child.

I have left this aspect as an exercise to the reader.

I'm having a really hard time refuting this equation. It appears to work out even for negative and non-integer values of k

Chop off the end of some kids finger.

Okay but how would one have negative amount of kids??

Murder. It’s how many kids you’ve murdered. Therefore you will be in prison and have negative spontaneity.

Kill someone else's kid.
