A sub for the sort of micro-epiphanies that one usually experiences while daydreaming in the course of mundane tasks, such as showering, driving, doing chores, etc.

Rules:

The complete thought must be contained in the title.
No jokes or puns.
No politics or religion
If your post would be well suited to a different niche sub, such as /s/ideasforphuks, post it there.
Use good netiquette as laid out in RFC 1855
