If you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than r/Showerthoughts, a subreddit with a sort of perpetual prompt: give us something interesting to think about.

“‘Showerthought’ is a loose term that applies to the types of thoughts you might have while carrying out a routine task,” say the moderators, “like showering, driving, or daydreaming. At their best, showerthoughts are universally relatable and find the amusing/interesting within the mundane.”

Here are a few of the best from our reliable Redditors. Let’s become enlightened.
