In addition to the whole 'a car is diffent from a train' aspect; trains don't always 'honk' in the US

Neither do they here (Austria) even though my driving instructor was adamant that they do. "You can trust that if there's no honk, there is no train."

Thanks, driving instructor, but I'd rather go with "if there is no train, then there is no train".

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
