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.
"THAT PLANE JUST CRASHED AND BURST INTO A FIREBALL!!!!"
not the controlled landing that I was referring to, but I understand your comparison of the consequences.
"and the ground is 5 feet below you, and you fuck up and drive it 150 feet"
this is my favorite part of your scenario. a pilot literally less than a second from touching the ground glances out the window and thinks " well, just to make sure" and lunges forward, arms outstretched, pushing the joystick completely flat against the console hahaha.
