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.

I think stubbing your toe hurt so much is because it's pointless - you did to yourself "for free"

If I'm dying for someone I love at least it's not in vain

You've just proved the point of the post: he easy it is tob imagine yourself doing it for a ooved one

Very true, even in a less life/death situation. Example, a piercing hurts much much more than stubbing your toe, but people, myself included, keep coming back for more of them.

Can you stub your toe to prove you would be able to withstand torture for a loved one?

It isn't pointless then!

What if the torturer put you in a dark room with a bunch of steel IKEA furniture and bedfames, (no mattresses) and a heated floor with 2 zones (only 1 is on at a time) so that you would have to either brave the gauntlet of IKEA to keep your feet warm or tell them what they want to hear?
