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.

What if you’re a professional burglar? Then, you’re doing something other people don’t want to do themselves, nor do they want you to do it either. The society doesn’t need burglars, but some people do it anyway.
If you're a professional burglar, then you have bills to pay so you'll be taking on jobs for clients or a fence. Therefore, you're doing the job your client/fence doesn't want to do themselves.
Also, while society might not need burglars, it sure is good at creating them.
I think then the secret to happiness would be to remain an amateur burglar, motivated by your passion for crime.
Yeah, you don’t want to turn your hobby into a jobby.
If I just agree can I move on with my life?
No you must answer to the internet until we all fully agree in even the small details. Its a matter!
