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

I've said it before but the ultimate end goal of Ford engineering is to design the Möbius part: A regular maintenance component of a vehicle that is so difficult to access that not only do you have to remove everything else to get it out, it is also in the way of itself so it cannot be removed without first removing itself. But you can't do that without removing itself first, which you also can't do because you have to remove itself...

The only path forward will be to throw the entire car away, walk to your Neighborhood Ford Dealership, and buy another one.
