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.

Rats don't live long, the first result on Google says that they live 2-4 years on average and the longest living rat in captivity lived to be 7 years old.

I like to think that after the rat's death everyone will treasure the good memories and start another restaurant of their own. But it's more likely that they'll be depressed and miserable for the rest of their lives without being able to tell anyone their story.

Nah, they'd have got him a lady rat.

Not all of them would be smart enough, but rat generations are crazy fast. Breed the smart ones with the other smart ones and you could be franchised nation wide in a couple decades.

Just a bunch of inbred genius rats yanking on some minimum wage teenagers head.

Hell, you could probably charge the human because an average person would learn how to cook pretty fast. It would be the best culinary school in the world.

I want to see this version as a saga like the Planet of the Apes.
