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.

Why wouldn't you feel pain as you die?
I'd imagine the cause of death would be a huge factor. Pain receptors quite often don't detect major things. Hence a scratch can go undetected, but a deep very quick cut might destroy every pain receptor near it and you won't even notice an enormous wound.
