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.

They view the world at extremely low resolution.
They think all of this is not only connected, but so connected as to be the same thing:
Basically there’s a particular type of philosophical disorder where a person has no “weighting dropoff” in the connections between their things. Every relationship has 100% weight, so if A, B, C, and D are connected in some way then A is D and you can fight A by fighting D.
I don’t know if there’s a term for this, but it’s basically like the zero-signal-degradation manner of reasoning about causality.
I can see modern art and stuff being connected to capitalism, but how do you see Stonehenge factor in?
