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.

1 person doesn't want to clean toilets; but 50 other people are okay with it.

If all 50 people want to clean 1 toilet, 49 people are shit out of luck

They can just work together and use very small brushes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Perhaps but someone's going to have to clean that toilet one way or the other.

The primary issue here is that there is a societal disparity between the toilet cleaner and let's say a CEO or a doctor or something along those lines. But there shouldn't be the doctor/ceo and toilet cleaner should get paid the same or there abouts in any case.

Cleaning a toilet should be just as important as heart surgery or running a multinational business.
