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.

The saying "dog days" is related to astronomy, and how a certain star appeared in the sky during the warmest months.

edit: Maybe we can consider all Fridays cat days?
It being Frigg/Freya's day, and Freya is known for her 2 kitties.

IIRC, the “dog days” are when the “Dog Star” Sirius rises before the sun does.
