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

This just happened to me the other night.

I'm in a dispersed camping spot in a National Forest. It's not crowded. I go to sleep around 9:30PM and wake up at 4:30AM to someone parked right next to me. There's no trees between us and no possible way that they did not see my car.

As I drive out of the forest I pass dozens of empty spots.

This has happened to me twice. Who are the people who do this? There's no rational explanation for it.

I don’t want my car to be lonely while I’m out in nature. If you’re lonely, they’re lonely…give them a friend.

Don't worry, the wendigo that breaks into your car at night to wait for you to return will keep it company :)
