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.

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.
