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.

All hail the Mushroom King!

You can use mushrooms in Plants vs Zombies.

It isn’t called “Plants and Fungi vs Zombies.”

Ergo, mushrooms are plants.

Checkmate, atheists!

Yes, I've encountered a few people like this. Also, no one has ever heard of Archaea.

I've never even considered whether they're plants or not. I guess I always assumed they were, but now it makes sense that they're not. But I can't imagine anyone having a tizzy over it either way.
