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.

Maple leaves are pretty recognizable. There's a whole entire country that's got one on its flag.
The iconic sugar maple leaves have 5 lobes, not 3. I am a Certified Naturalist with a specialty in native trees.
I think you are saying the same thing in a different manner. The other two lobes being the “legs” at the bottom. Looking at pictures of sugar maple leaves, both descriptions fit to me.

What kind of certification do you need to take your clothes off and play volleyball with your friends?

Blame Canada! It isn't a real country anyway.
Being able to reproduce it from memory is different from recognizing it though
Split the middle. Japanese Maple Tree leaves look almost identical to Marijuana leaves.
Fake news, Canada's not a real country, it's made up, like unicorns, or gypsies.
Birds aren't real
Maple leaves are pretty recognizable, but if I saw a silhouette of a marijuana leaf next to the silhouette of a maple leaf, I'd probably pick out the marijuana leaf first. I'm not really even a weed user. Might just be me, though.
