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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

That argument works for like, Pringles, not something you generally are legally required to have. If they’re required to spend money on advertising just to remain competitive, that sounds like you could severely restrict all insurance company’s ability to spend on advertising and save everyone money.
It works with things you are required to have as well.
Insurance is a varied field from legal minimum insurance to something that will actually protect your family. Since it is so varied, advertising helps being people in. I know there are a couple of car insurance companies that don't advertise, but they are also very picky on who can get their insurance.
