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.

If malls continue to shut down and decay over the next twenty years, someone should turn them into retirement communities for GenX and Millennials. (lemmy.world)

Imagine apartments built into what used to be department stores, (Oh, you're JC Penny 203? I'm at Sears 106). Get those old arcades up and running. Set up meal stations at the food court. Once people actually live there, stores will start to move back in.

If I'm unable to finish my life in my own home, that doesn't sound like a terrible option.

Ha, I thought that the blatant contradiction about having too much space and therefore not enough space would make the joke obvious, but I guess not.

Also, a Canyonero isn't a real vehicle. It was a joke from The Simpsons.

The joke was obvious, and you even doubled down by suggesting people intentionally go to Bentonville. I appreciated it
