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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Buddy of mine and I were chatting on Discord and we ended up having a conversation about this topic.

Namely imagine you just put two people in a room. One from New Jersey and one from LA and observe

Wild how different cultures can be even inside a country.

What do y’all think? Is it due to the size of the US (geographically)?

My memory of foreigners on Reddit are that they all believed the US is just a big Texas and everyone has the same opinions about everything.

I don't know about that, but few foreigner understand that the US is more diverse than just about any continent. Demographically, politically, geographically. Only some pockets of the US get any press, so I could see why some think there is only California tech bros, Texan oil men and Florida druggies.
