I think for the foreseeable future, we'd likely still track age via Earth years for the sake of avoiding this kind of thing

This is actually how it's handled in the science fiction universes. Star Wars for example uses Corusant time as the standard across the galaxy.

Belters in the expanse are bitter at their colonial ancestors for dictating how they measure time and space

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.
