Not really, German here:
"Ich bin zuhaus(e)" -> "I'm home"
"Ich bin in der Bäckerei", "Ich bin bei der Post", "Ich bin bei den Großeltern" -> "I'm at the bakery", I'm at the post office", "~~I'm at my grandparents place~~ I'm at my grandparents" (or "I'm with my grandparents")

Small correction:

"Ich bin bei den Großeltern" → "I'm at my grandparents (or grandparents’)"

"I'm at my grandparents’ place" only exist as "I'm at my grandparents‘ house" → "Ich bin im Haus meiner Großeltern"

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.
