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

For many, maybe even most Americans, NYC might as well be a fictional place. It's featured heavily in countless movies, TV shows, books, etc. It's more common than Westeros, Middle Earth, or Hogwarts. And people are expected to understand these settings, at least as much as NYC.
And that's all before you consider places like Batman's Gotham that is very clearly NYC.
