What if your entire life is flashing in front of your eyes, but you're already dead? If you're not dead but alive, everything is trying to kill you constantly. Your stomach is constantly trying to kill you; feeding it makes it stop. You need to drink as well; being hydrated is a necessity. Drink your water normally. Jump to your drink from the top, but when you use a straw, you empty it from the bottom. Your lungs are also constantly trying to kill you; breathing resets that timer too.

We really take for granted the fact that most of our body's processes are automated. Aging is a disease with a 100 percent mortality rate. Maybe that's why aliens aren't visiting us. Maybe they should visit Antarctica though because Antarctica is statistically the best place to have a baby. All 11 babies born there lived, making it have a zero percent infant mortality rate.

It's pretty cool to think about that. There are only 365 different birthdays for nearly 8 billion people. You live to be around 80, and you spend a third of your life sleeping. But when you sleep, you're just looking at the back of your eyelids for eight hours straight. To be honest, sleep is just a free trial of death. So, we're all dead.

Here are some more shower thoughts. A lot of TV shows have those fake laugh tracks in the background so you know when to laugh at the really bad jokes. But what you don't really think about is, for the really, really old shows, while you're sitting and watching and listening to it, you're also at the same time probably listening to a bunch of dead people laughing.

Related: one day, there're going to be more dead people on social media than there are living people. If they still exist, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube even will be a graveyard of content and information from people who lived hundreds of years ago. It will become the biggest source of information for any event. You'll be able to see how people reacted to presidential elections, to the death of their idols, to the spread of new diseases, to everything.

There is a limit: you won't be able to see how the world reacted to sliced bread though. Bread is just a loaf of dough, so by that logic, cheese is just a loaf of milk, and an ice cube is just a loaf of water. Speaking of ice, something I find kind of interesting is that there have been entire civilizations who never knew that water had a solid form.

The money you earned is never actually yours; it's just your turn with it. Everyone works to survive, and all of the money that you've earned actually belongs to someone else. There are a lot of jobs and businesses that bank off of the fact that things in your life can go wrong. Doctors only make money because you get sick. They can't expect money because your car breaks down. Lawyers make money because you messed up really, really bad, like maybe you robbed a bank.

But if you do try and rob a bank, you shouldn't have any problems with rent or food bills for the next 10 years, regardless of whether or not you're successful. A jail and a prison are basically the same thing, but a jailer and prisoner are completely different. The company Vic is known for making lighters and pens. Both of these happen to be things that are frequently stolen, which is kind of a pretty good business model, if you think about it.

Teachers make money off of the fact that you don't know how to, like, add numbers together or speak a language properly. Speaking of language, you ever just take time to think about letters and words? They're weird and confusing, but kind of cool. It takes more letters to spell the word short than it does to spell long.

Also, all the e's in the word Mercedes are pronounced differently. When you say the word forward, your lips move forward. When you say the word back, your lips move back. When hurricanes form, the most dangerous part is the eye. It destroys everything in its path; it's right in the middle, which also happens to be where the letter 'i' is in the middle of the word hurricane. It's kind of cool. Hurricanes are deadly.

Everyone tends to talk about and consider the question that is: where do we go when we die? And it's a pretty good question, but...
