Simply 17 ‘shower thoughts’ that will make you stop and think

There’s a rather marvellous subReddit called ‘Shower Thoughts’ which is defined as a ‘place for sharing those miniature epiphanies you have that highlight the oddities within the familiar’.

Or, if you prefer a slightly longer definition …

‘The human brain is a decidedly odd machine, often prone to glitches, malfunctions, and internal errors (like inexplicably deciding that raisins are an acceptable addition to cookies).

‘However, within the confines of that chaos, something intriguing occasionally occurs: A seemingly mundane detail about the world will suddenly become more interesting, having been viewed from a slightly different perspective than usual.’

Anyway, we trust you’ve got the idea by now. Here are 17 of our favourites.
