据说,很多伟大的思想和理论都是科学家和思想家们在洗澡、睡觉或吃饭时突然想到的。我们普通人在洗澡、发呆时也会有很多奇思妙想,这些思想就叫shower thought。
Shower thought is a loose term that applies to any thought you might have while carrying out a routine task like showering, driving, or daydreaming.
Shower thought(浴中哲思)其实是一个泛指,可以用来指代你在沐浴、开车或者做白日梦等一些常规事物的时候产生的一些想法。
以下是Reddit网站推出的shower thought页面上,网友留下的一些奇思妙想:
