Ugh. Bougie homeless. Just sleep in your car like normal people. πŸ™„ /s

I do want sleep pods at airports.

Shower pod at the Paris airport was the best layover I've ever had. You pay in 30 minute increments but so nice to get refreshed when you're traveling across the Atlantic.

Wow, 30min is really generous.

I bet that was really nice. πŸ™‚ As someone who takes red eyes, showering when I get there would be preferred.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I would have a thirty minute shower than.

San Franciscan here. What is β€œcar?”

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

A mobile home. Don’t worry you’ll be able to rent one from Uber for the night soon enough.

They're things on the road that take you to your abode.
