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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

The reason everyone thinks Americans have no culture is because their culture is prevalent everywhere. (lemmy.world)

Most cultures stand out but American culture doesn't because basically everywhere has some sorta American influence.

This is so true. The big thing about copyright and patents wasn't that the creator had rights, but that those rights were limited. You get a monopoly on something for a short time, at which point everyone can benefit from it.
