Weird Shower Thoughts 

The shower is a magical place. It’s the only place where you can wash your hair and simultaneously solve the mysteries of the universe. Or, at least, you think you’re solving them. There’s something about the hot water and the lack of distractions that turns the average person into a philosopher. You go in to clean yourself, and you come out wondering if crabs think fish are flying. It’s beautiful, really.

These weird shower thoughts are the result of that specific brain chemistry. They aren’t necessarily smart, but they aren’t dumb either. They exist in this grey area of “Whoa, dude.” It’s the kind of stuff you text your friend in the middle of the night. Some of them are profound, some are just semantic nightmares, but all of them will make you stop and stare at a wall for a solid minute.

Reading through these is like taking a tour through the collective subconscious of bored people everywhere. It’s comforting to know that while I’m worrying about my taxes, someone else is out there calculating the potential energy of babies on mountains. We are all just trying to make sense of this weird reality we live in.

The best part is how relatable they are. You read one and think, “I have absolutely thought about that while conditioning my hair.” It connects us. We are all just weirdos standing under hot water, thinking about dead zoo animals and password security.
