one of my favorite things about hacker news commenters is how they start out a little weird but not really that far out there, and then slowly reveal more information and you get a full view into their demented life

I live in my car. It's awesome.

Oddly enough, I live in an even older Ford Fusion and it's really easy. Spend time at the Library, Starbucks and get a gym membership for showering. I work full-time and don't peepee around with washing dishes or anything. Got an inverter and think of my car as a generator with wheels.

I took out my front passenger seat so I can lay down to sleep. Made it through the summer in the south and it was pretty bad, but you sleep while your body sweats and you deal with mosquitos and flies on the regular.

and then later

No, I eat Budding Ham and Walmart cheese sandwiches + goldfish crackers and Aldi energy drinks as my 75% source + strawberries and bananas. My diet is mostly sandwiches and Taurine...

I've slept across the front seat of my work truck on long drives when I didn't feel like getting a hotel.

When I was working on solar fields we had a weird coworker sleeping in his 04 Jetta. We were all getting $120 per diem and negotiated a nearby hotel for 55/night but he still slept in his car. Worse, his girlfriend was with him. She'd just sit in the car the whole day while he was "working".

Later he'd tent camp at a state park nearby. Trunk was full of camping gear instead of tools.

He would also grab three pairs of Hot Hands, stick them in his boots, then declare it was too cold to work and leave at 11am, even if it was 30°F and sunny out. We routinely worked in below-zero conditions where the skidsteers barely started and the generator fuel filter would freeze while it was running
