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.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules

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.

In the UK we have https://www.parkers.co.uk/car-valuation/select-manufacturer/
In the USA I think there's an equivalent.
In the US it's https://www.kbb.com/ which I always thought was a household name.
Also a scam, they’re terrible at valuations in both directions. They’ve gotten lazy with fame.
Well they don't give regional numbers, at least anytime I have used it.
Can't really use something national when a used Honda Accord is 5k more expensive in MA than Georgia or Florida, for example.
Unless there's some state level tax implications or a car that's sensitive to rust in the desert that makes the car more or less valuable. I don't see why the national average can't be used?
There's an argument to say a state with a lower average income should have lower fines, but really then might as well have fines based on income / networth
I guess it depends on how heavily it would be weighted in the ticket price. It would suck to get a ticket 3x more expensive, because Geo Metros became retro and your 2,500 shit box is worth 8,000 in your hipster market.
