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.

Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

I was listening to a Weird Al song about prank calls and realized you can’t really do them anymore now. Also it was funny that he mentioned dialing 7 digit numbers instead of 10

The natural evolution of prank calls is rickroll links.

Speaking of, did you know that there's a Chrome extension that turns random links into rickrolls?

Or, if you're a firefox user, maybe:

I haven't tried either of them, but I think the concept is neat. I'm a fan of doing a little self-pranking now and then.
