    It is reliable and family friendly, comfortable size, no spectacular character but also no big downs.

    Both Volvos and golden retrievers are prone to suspension issues.

    However, Volvos are indestructible, and all good boys come to an end. My golden was almost 8 when lymphoma took him.

      I say all good boys live forever in our hearts. I know all my previous dogs do. <3

    That is not a tailgate, and that’s not a cargo space. Someone call a veterinarian.

    As a Swede I feel a bit offended.

    Guys, just be happy that we don’t send your Volvo in a flat pack, ok?

      They are equating Volvo to the best and most loyal dog. Not an insult. I drive one that was made in Gothenburg. I do enjoy it.

    Inversely, Volvo is the Golden Retriever of cars.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
