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.
Rules

Jokes on those people, now people live in vans on purpose (and I definitely can't afford one).
"On purpose" here means "Buying a house isn't an option anymore"
The most popular of these vans costs as much as a house.
That's if you buy one new, which is only gentrified relabelling of RVs. I just converted a bus myself for 25k, which is what most people who actually live in them full time do. Anyone buying one is likely using it as a "second home" aka RV.
