If nudity weren’t as taboo as it is, most political rant TikToks would be filmed in the shower, instead of in the car

Ah, a shower thought about not-quite-shower thoughts.
- Showerthoughtception.
- Is L/carthoughts a thing?
People record videos in their cars because it is the quietest place that is readily available. Modern cars have good soundproofing, blocking outside noise and also preventing echoes.
I see your point, but no. The shower is great for thinking, but it’s a terrible recording environment.
Even if people weren’t afraid of getting their phone wet, the sound would be a disaster. We tune it out in our own heads, but on video, the noise of water running would be overwhelming and inescapable.
I doubt it. They are hiding in their car because they don’t want their family to find out they are nuts.
Is it because of acoustics that they do it?
- 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.
  
  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.
Pornhub Showerthoughts could be a thing
It's never the people you wish it was. Why can't crazy people be hot?
- Why can't crazy people be hot?
  The phrase "don't stick your dick in crazy" exists because there are plenty of hot people who are also batshit insane.
  
  You'll rarely see a crazy person who isn't hot because if they aren't hot you won't see them participating in society.
This made me curious if there is a thriving Shower Thoughts niche of porn somewhere? 🤔
- If there isn’t, Pornhub is missing out on a big revenue stream. “Come for the porn, stay because you can’t believe just how insanely wrong this insanely hot person is and you have to explain to them how wrong they are.” Ragebait and porn all-in-one.
  
  "To hell with wearing your heart on your sleeve -- bare it all!"
  "Opinions are like assholes -- and here's mine!"
  "...and now, for a real hot take!"
Oh boy, they wouldn't for a variety of reasons others said, but MAN would my mind and body be in conflict. Like, ok, this is a QAnon rant but they're hot and ugh, maybe I can just mute? Yeah, mute. Mute and carry on.
Taboo or not, nudity is still nudity, haha.
it's not taboo, it wasn't in the 90s, it's algorithms and terms of service dictating cultural norms
