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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

The USA is America, and claiming that Mexicans ,Cubans, or Canadians are Americans is just weird manifest destiny bullshit. Go to a bar in Toronto or Windsor and tell the locals that they are actually Americans and you'll get your ass beaten.
Canadians are basically Americans with some English and French seasoning
I have literally made this joke in no fewer than a dozen bars in Toronto and everyone thinks it's funny.
