I have a different theory to "safety in numbers", "GPS locator" etc
Namely that we live in a simulation and this is how the simulation is trying to preserve computing power. If two people park separately in the wilderness somewhere then twice as much area has to be computed. However if the simulation guides the second and other subsequent vehicles to the same place then there's only one area that is actively observed and have random encounters with wildlife generated.
I agree 100%. I have suspected the same thing.
Today I am in a large parking lot that is only 5% occupied. This family pulls in and parks away from me but doesn't shut off their car. Then a minute later they back out of that space and attempt to back in to the spot right next to me. The wife got out of the car to guide the husband into the spot. The entire parking lot is wide open!!! WTF? They didn't even have the courtesy of parking one over from me. Definitely, it's the Simulation fucking with me.
