There is something different about how the brain functions while in the shower or lying in bed. Whether it's the warm water that boosts neuron transmission or the unearthly energy one receives from the moon, shower thoughts and late night thoughts occasionally bring to the fore some brilliant ideas and, yet, more often, bizarre, weird realizations.
Strange and often funny realizations come to our heads the more we think of something in particular. Just try thinking of balloons. Basically, by getting someone a bouquet of balloons for their birthday, we are, in essence, gifting them our CO2-saturated breath preserved in a colored piece of latex. While this is just one of the crazy realizations one can make, there are plenty of weird things to realize concerning pretty much any object. Or subject.
While many philosophical, deep realizations may affect your life for the better (or worse), many carry no significant value. Yet they can still make you raise your eyebrows. Below, we've gathered a collection of weird realizations people made found on the vastness of the internet. What are some exciting fruits of imagination and realizations that blow your mind when you think about them? Let us know!

I don't think that the correct explanation. I'd like to suggest a different one. A pilot (long before flight) was a person who would pilot a ship from the tricky shore-side into open water (eg the sea, a lake, or river). They would know their section of coast incredibly well. They'd know the sight lines, the location of the sandbanks, etc. The pilot would navigate through the dangerous waters, and then hand over to the crew for them to take the ship on the rest of the journey.
