    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.

      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.

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

        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.

          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 take my phone in the shower, fight me.

            IDK if it’s even rated water-resistant. I just don’t get it in the stream.

            Once every few months water gets in the speaker but a hairdryer fixes it

          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

      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.
