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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I'm not sure about Home Depot but Walmart is known for letting people camp in their cars on the parking lot where as many other stores don't so I assume this is a joke about IT people sleeping in their cars on the Best Buy parking lot.
Letting people camp? What do you mean ?
Homeless and van-life people for example tend to favour these kinds of parking lots for when they need a place to park overnight and sleep in their vehicles. Some other stores send staff knocking on your window and telling you to go elsewhere.
Walmart sends the police after people who sleep in their cars. I know because it happened to me when I was homeless.
