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.

One day I hope to have a see-thru purple car. GameBoy Color vibes.
Holy shit I would fucking LOVE THAT SO MUCH GOOD GODS ABOVE AND BELOW
I wonder what kind of material we could use O_O
Polycarbonate maybe...?
The issue is, if it's a plastic, it could degrade due to UV exposure... Plus there's the overarching issue of micro plastic pollution. Any polymer that wouldn't be an environmental problem might disintegrate too quickly.
But I still WANT it. I wonder if there even is an engineering solution.
Honestly that'd be badass. You could see all the mechanics of the car working how they do. Seeing the engine through the hood would be pretty cool.
