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.

But how many people have escaped the influence of Earths gravity altogether? None?

Right. The farthest people have been is the Moon, which is still gravitationally bound to the Earth. Plenty of spacecraft have been out of Earth's gravity well, and also a car, but no humans.

What do you mean? I thought the car had an astronaut suit in the drivers seat containing the dessicated corpse of the real Elon Musk, after being murdered, memory-absorbed, and doppelganger-ed by the current version.

If that were the case the current version would have a goatee.

Long live the Empire.
