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.

Only if we continue the trend with sans-serif fonts.

As someone who struggles with dyslexia, I'd love for serif to be the norm again.

I don't have anything like that (to my knowledge) but I've still just never understood how it became acceptable to have multiple letters look the same or very similar.

My money's on lack of foresight and stubborn resistance to change.

That's interesting to hear, my work developed what's supposed to be a very accessible font that is sans serif and I was curious if this actually helped dyslexic people. My one dyslexic friend actually said it is better for them, but people are all different.
