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.

A solid 30% of posts in my feed are German memes. I don't understand the language, but I love the memes that I can't read.

When i was in university, a now fairly famous german comedian did a set. He comes on stage looking stern and unamused and tells us the comedy is starting now as he begins a timer on a stopwatch.

His first joke proper was "some people say we getmans dont have a sense of humour.... well i dont think that's very funny. "

I knew i was going to love that set immediately.
