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.

Alarm clocks would be more effective if the sound was someone puking or gagging. (lemmy.world)

I always hit snooze on my alarm clock, but I jump right out of bed if I hear someone puking or gagging (e.g., kids or my dog).

The alarm app I use allows for playlists to be used as the alarm, and I have a different one set for every day of the week. It's not quite as effective at preventing me from tuning it out, but that's balanced out by the fact that I have to solve puzzles and math problems to turn it off. Combined with an alarm clock that has a light that slowly turns on in a simulated sunrise and it's pretty effective.
