      The shower or the car?

      I’m convinced people get on their soapbox in their car because it’s the only place people can film themselves without being self conscious about other people listening to them while they do it.

        And you think if nudity wasn’t a taboo people wouldn’t be self conscious about anything (ie. their bodies)? Especially considering the acoustics in most showers (hint:even the people who normally can’t hear you talk in your home can hear you sing in the shower). Especially considering people are self conscious as hell about their bodies even with clothes on?

        A car is a much more private and safe space than a shower.

        Not being a dick, just curious what your train of thought here is.

          Oh, I see your point. I was thinking about how people have a lot of intense arguments in their head in the shower, and if they weren’t afraid to film themselves in the shower, they probably would do so in order to take those thoughts out of their head and put them into the world for discussion.

          If they’re self-conscious about their body, as most people are, they probably would still use their cars lol

          Most people also don’t have a phone that could survive a shower intact. Or if they do, it’s not worth finding out. Not sure about everyone else, but I don’t generally risk bringing my expensive phone into the shower just for TikTok rants.

        I thought it was to create a sense of urgency, like they have somewhere to be but they really can’t wait to spit this truth nugget in your ear

      They already have a phone holder in their car pointed at their face.

      Also, the background in car shots is pretty neutral, while the background in your house might be more revealing or distracting.
