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

Are you just inexperienced enough with driving to not have had that happen to you? Adjusting to driving conditions takes time - even if it's only for 6-7 seconds per incident, that's still time where you're forced to follow far too close to another car without an ability to prevent the situation from arising. You seem like you don't understand that, sometimes, other people can be responsible for the situations you are put in through no fault of your own. Or, you're a sith. A driving sith.
