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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

What if cars grew from use - like animals. A lot of people with big/small vehicles today would be flipped around. (self.showerthoughts)

Just thinking about all the... Shall we say "under used" pickup trucks in my neck of the woods. Bought to look like the owner moves shit - when in reality it just signals to me they have the money to make others do it for them.

It depends, I get a lot of use out of my SUV hauling around some bulky junk- lumber from home Depot, camping gear, kayaks, occasionally towing small trailers, etc. So being able to buy smaller cheaper cars and grow them into what I need could be pretty sweet.

But I'd worry about them overgrowing, I've driven bigger trucks, they're not for me. Mid sized SUVs and compact/mid-sized trucks are about the sweet spot.
