shower thoughts that everyone asked for..

So purush, our thoughts that everyone asked, or right? Well, at least some people asked for it. But you know what? No one has probably ever asked, “Where are you?” in sign language before. Actually, the phrase "Where are you?" was probably really used until relatively recently. You couldn't really talk to someone unless you were in the same vicinity as them.

But wait! Don't get too close—six feet, remember? We wash our clothes pretty often; usually, only wear things a few times before we throw them in the washing machine to clean them. But you know, often we saw couches and furniture and touched other things that we just never wash. On a similar note, isn't it crazy how we essentially had to have a global pandemic that affected millions of people with a never-before-seen disease just to get everyone to start washing their hands—to grasp the most basic form of hygiene there is?

If washing your hands is a new thing to you, how disgusting has the rest of the world been before this? Missing going out to restaurants, but then I realized the utensils we use have been in the mouths of thousands of other people, and now realizing that so many people weren't washing their hands, I don't know if I miss it anymore. The coronavirus has really changed the world if you think about it. Since we're all wearing masks, we're all probably owning a lot less since we can't see other people.

Oh, and actually, a lot less people are probably wearing lipstick too, huh? But the idea of makeup made me think: when an identical twin gets plastic surgery, does the other twin get offended? They're kind of saying, "You're ugly." They might even get pretty sad, but I just tell them, "Go to bed; you'll feel better in the morning." That's basically the human version of “Did you turn it off and back on again?”

Honestly, I just tell them that because when people get sad around me, I don't really know what to do. It's awkward. And speaking of awkward situations, why is it so awkward walking back after you bowl? Just watch.

Oh yeah, these are shower thoughts. I actually just bought a cat late last week; this is him. But while I was thinking of names, I realized that since we name our pets, your pet may have named you too! Actually, the fear animal or whatever makes a specific noise whenever you come around them—that's pretty much naming you, right?

Your senses are kind of crazy. Your eyes can detect nuclear fusion happening trillions of miles away. We can detect the air pressure changes caused by a paperclip hitting the floor from across the room, and my nose can detect the smallest cat hairs making me sneeze all day long. But you know, it's fine. I'll just think about something else and move on with my day.

But I was wondering, can you really think of nothing? And they actually sit there and try to think of nothing—thinking of an empty black room? Well, that's still something. You usually could close your eyes and see nothing, but you're actually just looking at the back of your eyelids, and that's still something. So how do you think of something that, by definition, is the lack of anything?

Space, though, is full of mostly nothing. And since we're talking about space, the International Space Station is about 220 miles above the surface of the Earth. But isn't the Earth itself an International Space Station, or a universal Space Station, if you will? Or maybe you're one of those people that believe space doesn't exist or something. I don't know, something stupid. You know, the same conspiracy theorists that believe low-quality footage of the Apollo landings are the same people who don't believe HD footage of rocket landings.

But there's so much fake stuff that happens; that's still entertaining, though, right? So what's the point in calling it reality TV if almost everyone in the world knows it's fake? But we should probably get this fixed ASAP. Now, most people use ASAP to mean "as soon as possible," but it could also definitely be "as slow as possible." Great, that's definitely an unpopular opinion, though.

But a lot of times, unpopular opinions aren't really unpopular opinions; they're just at least frequently openly talked about. Once I have a popular opinion, no, for sure, and it's that I don't think anyone in the world likes being sung "Happy Birthday," and no one really likes singing "Happy Birthday," so why do we even do it?

Also, I hate captions, but they're actually so annoying. Why is the robot asking me if I'm not a robot? The great thing about artificial intelligence is that it does exactly what you want it to do. But the bad thing about artificial intelligence is that it does exactly what you want it to do. Technology can be frustrating, especially when it doesn't work the way you want it to.

You know, even if phones and other electronics became waterproof, most of us will still probably subconsciously avoid getting anything wet just out of habit. Water isn't scary, but you know what is? The ocean. All things considered, being scared of deep water is just like being scared of heights. But in water, if you're scared of heights, you probably don't want to live in a high-rise. If elevators hadn't been invented, all the CEOs and important people would probably have their offices on the first floor as a sign of status instead of the highest floor.

It's kind of funny; the most massive glass towers in the world are, in a way, the world's tallest sand castles. They're mostly owned by big businesses. It's weird. If a small business is family-owned, people see it as friendly. But if a large company is owned by a family, it smells like corruption.

Speaking of family, if you have brothers and sisters, they're just alternate versions of what could have been you. Fun fact: no Amish person has ever been cyberbullied.

All right, anyway, has anyone ever seen a taxi at a gas station before? Because I swear I've never seen one. Maybe I'll see it one day when I'm older. They say life is short, but that phrase usually encourages people to do things that will probably make their life shorter. Life is confusing; even your birthday itself can be confusing. Like, if you say you're born on the last day of February, it doesn't actually reveal your birthday, if you think about it.

Speaking of confusing things: math time! I like math for some reason, so let me give you a tip that you might not know. Percentages are reversible. For example, 80% of 30 is equal to 30% of 80. 16 percent of 25 is the same as 25% of 16 over 4. Seriously, just try it out.

When you were in school, though, you probably wrote with a pencil on paper on a wooden desk; one of the terms you used—the dead tree to hold a dead tree— that you then used another dead tree to write on. Oh, and when you mess up, your erasers sacrificed their lives for your mistakes!

Since we're all at home, at least you don't have to wake up early for school anymore. Alarm clocks are one of the only devices that make you angry in both scenarios—whether they work or not. A ton of inventions are only created to increase or prevent laziness.

Speaking of laziness, most times we want to go to bed to end the day, but at the same time, we don't want tomorrow to come any quicker. Dying in your sleep sounds preferred by many people, but to me, it's kind of scary. I mentioned just slipping away from existence without even knowing it. Sleeping can be kind of hard sometimes, though; some nights I lay there staring at the clock for hours on end. I wonder if there's any times on a clock I haven't seen before.

By the way, is blinking the plural of winking? I also have really stupid thoughts before I go to sleep, like if animals saw us taking off our clothes, would they think we’re shedding our skin? What even are our body parts? Teeth are such a scary and weird concept. There's dozens of bones sticking outside—oh, inside of your body. And in order to prevent these bones from decaying, we have to scrub them every day.

Your eyeballs won't fall out, though, but they also will never actually see each other directly. Hopefully, even your fingers are weird. Your nails are a window into the flesh of your finger. If you do happen to lose a finger, I have some good news for you: cutting your fingernails becomes 10 percent easier!

I hope you still have your index finger. Level clicking a computer mouse is literally sending a signal from your brain to your finger to the computer's finger to the computer's brain. Roughly a third of all marriages now result from online dating, so in a way, that means that computers and algorithms are breeding humans.

But hey, shout out to computers; you gave me a job! It can be stressful sometimes, like most jobs, but monitoring incoming nuclear strikes has to be the only job in the world where you're glad it's boring. Oh, and by the way, on May 30th, two guys rode a dragon into space on the back of a Falcon! I guess that job sounds like a little bit more fun, but you need to be smart to be an astronaut.

Something I've noticed is that smart people have poor eyesight; probably because lower graphics make your brain run faster. IQ is just FPS. Quick question: do any of these shower thoughts even make sense? Comment your sharp thoughts, and maybe I'll put them in a video, or maybe make an entire video with your comments.

I don't know. Well, what I do know is that if you cut the corner off a piece of paper, it gains a corner. A pizza shape is round; it's delivered in a box, and you cut it into triangles. And the phrase “a part” and “part” are apart. But when “a” and “part” are no longer “apart,” they become “a part.”

Yes, the English language comes in again. If you live to be 70 years old, you spend 10 years on each day of the week. You might die soon, but that's okay because each person who has ever lived is still on this planet in some form, and that's pretty cool!

Since we're on the topic of death, I was thinking about the butterfly effect the other day, and I realized you could have potentially caused a string of events that has led to some one or multiple people's death. So does that make most people accessories to murder?

Murderers are legal; it's a crime, obviously. Taking a dog from its owner is a crime, but taking a dog from San Lee is fun! You've also never actually experienced the present; by the time your brain processes it, it's gone. And as every second goes on, your risk of dying increases.

Now, if you think about it, most sea animals probably don't know that humans exist. So as the risk of dying increases, we could wipe each other out eventually, and the majority of ocean life probably wouldn't even care. With the rate at which we're going, that looks like it could be pretty soon.
