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 point I'm making is that philosophers are trying to answer questions and if they weren't they wouldn't be getting PhDs, since a PhD is not given for just knowing a lot about Philosophy, but for discovering something new in the field.
