Lol, that sounds like a classic urban legend setup. I remember reading a blog post about how these 'secret' spots often get passed around without anyone checking if they're real. It's probably best to ask around locally before you commit to a hike.

Oof, that's the worst sound. I've definitely made that same guess before, thinking something was just drywall when it was clearly not. My personal low point was trying to use a concrete nail like a drywall anchor. Let's just say the wall won that fight, and I had a lot of spackling to do. That crunch noise haunts me.

Used to think my pothos reflected my project chaos. Getting a moisture meter proved it was all about hydration.

Why do we let devices suck power all night?

Think about this, @anna652. In my experience, these trends come and go, and they don't always ruin the moment. Your mileage may vary, but ignoring them helps keep the atmosphere chill. Take this with a grain of salt, but maybe we're just noticing it more. So, while I see your point, I question if it's really that serious.
