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

Have you considered that this is because most of space in USA is allocated only for cars? Or that if this space wasn't allocated to cars, then you wouldn't need to traverse such disyance in first place?
The solution: trains
Look I'm not arguing that we shouldn't be putting in trains as much as possible but it's not a solution to cars. Hell in Europe people still drive a good bit.
The solution is not living in the middle of anywhere, two hours away from civilization. If you lived next to the mall, you could go there by foot.
You know why houses in populated areas cost so much?
That's why, everyone wanting to be right next to everything.
I live where I do because I don't like crowds, and noise.
