Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

For the most part I'd agree with you. I've figured out that some dealerships have stock of particular models they are having a hard time selling. Last year it was the Ford Lightning, and recently it was the Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. Idk exactly why they offer these special leases, but like the Charger was a $590/mo lease for 7500mi/yr max. I probably put like 5k on my current car, and since I'm looking at midlife crisis cars, that one is attractive to me since the others in that range are like $800/no for the same price.

It's some tax thing. The benefit is that if the car has pretty shit reliability the dealer is on the hook for maintenance. So a lot of the mid-life crisis cars are perfect for leasing if you don't drive a lot anyway.
