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.

If social networks keep copying features from each other, eventually they will all look the same (feddit.it)

YouTube shorts and Instagram reels are a rip-off of TikTok.

Live streams. Twitch is built around them, but you can also do them in YouTube and Instagram.

Stories. I don't even know who did them first, but now they are identical in Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp.

As much as they all copy from each other, it's never a 1:1 copy. The copy is almost always slightly inferior to the original. Even if they all had exactly the same features, they'd look or function slightly differently. I do wish they'd stop copying though. Keep them seperate because they're all meant for different purposes. At least, they used to be at one point.
