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

Are there car ferries where you are allowed to stay inside the car? O.o

We have a few here for really short trips. They're basically river crossings

Yes. I've sat inside my car on ferries in Seattle and Cincinnati.

Yep, in Australia we have a fair few Punts (aka cable ferries) for river crossings in a car, like the Putney Punt (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mortlake_Ferry) that crosses the Parramatta River.

Yes, it's mostly the ones where the trip is very short, like under an hour. Also the ones where the car deck is open.
