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.

The experiments are often done with modified rats (genetically or otherwise) to be closer to humans or they are in situations they would normally never get in (obesity or cancer...)

Makes it even more questionable if it's really worth it to do all this to have results that still not apply to humans. There is research for experiments that do not involve animals
