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.

Just for anyone who has this thought: your stool can have blood in it occasionally for trivial reasons, when you should be concerned is when your stool is pitch black, that means youre bleeding somewhere farther up your digestive tract and that is when it's a problem.

Unless it's black because you ingested Bismuth subsalicylate, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol. That will make poops black.

If you are consuming pepto you are relieved when you poop, regardless of the colour, if it is solid that is.

Hence the phrase "if it's black, call your proctologist back."

Unless you drink a lot of Guinness 😂

drinking a lot of green tea makes a poopy greeny.

that's how you know you have reached oneness with nature.
