And you probably never will, because anything a ghost could do to haunt traffic would just get blamed on "asshole drivers"

The Els Alfacs (Tarragona, Catalonia) road.

As you can see in the pic, it's not the middle of nowere but a road following the coast with urbanizations around.

During the 70s, a truck transporting propylene crashed on the camping wall, besides the road, exploding and killing 215 people.

Since that, drivers passing through that road, claim to see human silhouettes, besides the area of the crash, like silent witness looking at the road.

Whoof. Well, if anyone ever complains about the strict safety inspection and weighing regulations for semis in my state, I shall point them at this article.

Showerthoughts

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 most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
