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.

My own private theory is that of any larger group of people, approx. 30% are complete and utter twats.
Yeah, bad actors are still an issue.
My son goes to a Lego group once a week, and until this month it’s been a great group of helpful, quiet tinkerers.
Then a mom with kids in a local private school showed up, and now the organizer has had to break up a fight, and basically let them know they won’t be welcome if they keep touching other kids (2 of the 4 kids are too young as well).
Groups that keep certain people out will definitely ferment twats.
I would go the other way around but maybe im the twat and that's why. Man, this made me reevaluate.
This guy again?
(Kidding...
wait... maybe I'm the twat. ...crap)
That's because 30% of people are complete and utter twats, and two thirds of the remaining people aren't great either.
