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.

Lmao you have zero idea how humans work. If you think it's even plausible for all of society to sit and do nothing, you have no business being in this conversation - its clearly above your level.

People are motivated by boredom, creativity, duty and care for society, more than they are by money. This is evidenced by... all of history. People worked before money was invented. Crazy, huh?
