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. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  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

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

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.
