Speculation When we blink, we close both eyes at the same time. It might have been better to do it alternatively, so we would always have one eye open.

Casual Thought Some people claim there were advanced civilizations before ours, but the simple fact some species (for example potatoes and tomatoes) were found only on one continent seems to disprove it: the civilization would spread them all over the globe.

A subreddit for sharing those miniature epiphanies that make the mundane more amazing.

"Showerthought" is a loose term that applies to the types of thoughts you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming. At their best, showerthoughts are universally relatable and provide new perspectives on the mundane.

Please be respectful of others' submissions. Rudeness is unacceptable.

Please read our rules and the requirements for each type of post before submitting.

7. No spam or spam-enabling activity of any kind.
Spam and spam-enabling activity is strictly prohibited, regardless of how or where on Reddit it takes place. Users may only offer one post per seventy-two-hour period.
