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.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I suppose their name could also be meant to imply that they're meant for sharp people, to write down ideas with.
However, in all my time in meetings I would say they're rather meant to write ideas on flipcharts with that'll lead to a sharp decline in business value. ๐
It seems that the etymology isn't on Wikipedia. I'd assume the name is in reference to sharp lines that you can write or draw with it.
