I think conversion rates might throw this theory off.

This isn’t a shower thought, it’s more like a thoughtless shower.

This is exactly the kind of thought that occurs in the shower. Spontaneous realizations that have been right there the whole time.

I’m fairly confident that no realizations took place when this abortion spewed out of someone’s imagination.

This isn't shitting in the shower, it's more like showering in shit.

Why all the 99 prices? I mean it's clear that $599 is basically $600, so whom are they fooling?

In theory 599 looks a lot less than 600 subconsciously iirc.
