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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Do you all actually act sane or is there some nuance I don't understand?

You'd have to be mentally ill for that to be case, I think.

To clarify, are you saying that you'd have to start off with some mental illness to be able to act like you didn't have it?

Not sure if I'm stepping to a bait, but only insane people would have the need "to act sane", right?

I'm not baiting, it just seemed like you might have been trying to call someone mentally ill and i was making sure that wasn't the case.

My unproven hypothesis is that everybody's a little nuts, just maybe not clinically so.
