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

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

Not as good as Jaguars though!

No weird electrical glitches in those dogs...

Volvos slobber all over you?

Did they invent the seatbelt?

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

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.

Ok. We've whitelisted you now.

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

Inversely, Volvo is the Golden Retriever of cars.
