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.

Reading through English speaking non American political discourse is just non Americans comparing their politics to American politics (lemmy.world)

Saw a post on the Canada community and basically was just talking about how this guy is Joe and it would be good if he was replaced by someone like Harris and even better if it was someone like AOC. I've seen similar stuff on the Aussie communities. It's interesting that American politics is so well known it's easier to convey information about local politics as analogies to American politics

At least Canada and Mexico are going to have a whole lot to say on US politics because they are serious trade partners with us.

Most of the comparative Aussie discourse I've read has been more to the tune of yeah things are bad but at least we're not the US...
