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.

Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can't do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can't do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

If that were the case, there wouldn't be an application and interview process.

There are often multiple candidates for a given position.

Edit: I read this as "no one" rather than "someone."

I understand that someone on earth might not want any given job.

Nah, some people need the money. It just happens to mainly come from jobs.

It's not even about the task. I sure there is some one who would like to do the task but it's never just that simple. You can't just be an astronaut, you have to; goto school; be exceptional; etc.
