The brightest of ideas and epiphanies don’t occur to us when we want them to occur. Most of the time they occur to us when we are engaged in unconnected mundane activity. Many great scientists, philosophers and thinkers had their Eureka moment when they were doing something mundane. The term “Eureka moment’ has its origin from a tale that Archimedes the Greek scientist discovered the principle of buoyancy( Archimedes Principle) when he was taking a bath sitting in a bathtub whereupon he exclaimed “Eureka” in excitement. In other words the Archimedes principle occured to the great Archimedes as a “Shower Thought”. Not all of us are like Archimedes but even then we too have our own showers thoughts. Below we’ve compiled such Shower thoughts from the subreddit ShowerThoughts for you guys to agree, disagree with or laugh at it. They may not be life changing or revolutionary but nevertheless thought provoking and funny. Enjoy!
