In order to be allowed to drive, you don't just have to promise to pay if you hit someone, you have to pay in advance in case you hit someone

    And if you don’t hit anyone, the amount you pay still goes up every year.

      Right. My wife and I are something like Super Platinum Diamond whatever-the-fuck loyalty level with our insurance company, claims to have loyalty discounts but we aren’t paying much less than we were 15 years ago.

      Look into mutual insurance. You actually get back money for the payouts they didn’t have to do that year. Northwestern, Amica, USAA, etc.

      I get an additional discount (no claims bonus) for every year I don’t hit someone).

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.
