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.
Rules

That's odd. In the UK the lines are never long. We don't get time off, but you can find time to drop in to the polling station anyway since they're open 7-22. Our counting and decision is decided overnight and the prime minister may change the day after that
It's the same in my country, but we have voting district thats like under a 1000 people.
I an guessing with the gerrymandered US districts they get quite weird and lots of people vote in the same place
