This person wasn’t willing to let their weird ‘shower thought’ go and the payoff makes one helluva splash

There’s a corner of Reddit called ‘shower thoughts’ which describes itself as a ‘subreddit for sharing those miniature epiphanies that make the mundane more amazing’.

And we mention it because of this particular shower thought which has just gone viral on Twitter and is a classic of the genre, with a payoff that makes a helluva splash.

It was shared without comment by @BitsHammer and, well, best have a read for yourself.

But what if the corpse was in the shower?

And here are just a few of the responses it prompted.

I think it's more to do with the perceived risk factors – a corpse being in the ocean who-knows how many miles away isn't going to give you a disease as easily as one in same small swimming pool you're in. Also, awareness of proximity and implications of danger.

If it helps the chlorine in swimming pools is also anti bacterial

When you take the various microbial ecosystems living and dying in your body into account, there are technically corpses inside you right now.

Wait…..does the human body count as a bog?

me and my friends reference this post every time we're at the local lake taking a swim and they pull out a body

I think it’s about assessing risk of encountering the corpse. I could theoretically find a body in the ocean any time but most of the time it’s a risk I’m willing to take. If there was a ship wreck yesterday and bodies keep washing up on shore, maybe I don’t go swimming today.

Thanks, I'm never going in a swimming pool again, (unless theres guaranteed corpses).

We’re off for a long bath.
