What is this calculator?

The shower is where minds wander and odd little insights arrive unannounced. This calculator combines how often you shower, how long you stay in and how many stray ideas hit you per wash, then scales it all across your lifetime.

How does it work?

Showers per week are multiplied by 52.18 for a yearly count, then by your years lived and years remaining. Shower length gives total time, and thoughts per shower turn those washes into a lifetime idea count.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a shower thought?+

Any stray idea, realisation or odd question that arrives while you are under the water and nowhere near a notepad.

How many should I expect per shower?+

Two is a reasonable default. Longer, quieter showers tend to produce more.

Why do ideas arrive in the shower?+

Warm water and a routine task leave the mind unfocused, which is exactly the state loose associations tend to surface in.

Does shower length affect the thought count?+

It affects total shower time rather than the thought total directly, but raising thoughts per shower reflects longer washes.

Is the lifetime figure reliable?+

It is an estimate. It projects your current shower habits across the years remaining before your expected lifespan.
