My car isn’t like that. You have to manually turn on the headlights, which you only do in the dark or in the rain.
There is a dim “running lights” setting that you can select in a parking garage, but it doesn’t cast a beam, it just illuminates some yellow lights near the main headlights.
But to your point, some people in the garage would probably turn their headlights on.
Personally I’d still rather have a window than no window. I usually sleep with an eye mask anyway because light comes through my windows at home also.

Why are the headlights on in a lit garage?

There is a fun science fiction novel that wrestles this question, what technological solutions exist, what are their risks, and what happens if some counties get radicalized by climate change and implement them anyway.
Highly recommended: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ministry_for_the_Future

Ye, but if getting hit on by men wasn’t danger-coded or gross, it would be less of a deterrent. You don’t have to blame yourself.

Transcript from the article:
“Sex change for minors. Do you support that?” Watters asked El-Sayed, to which the former public health official said, “I just think the government shouldn’t tell you what kind of healthcare you should have.”
“So you think it’s okay for a parent to slash his kid’s ding-a-ling off?” Watters asked.
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan, has raised eyebrows after asking Fox News’ Jesse Watters if he is circumcised during a combative prime-time interview (Jesse Watters Primetime)
El-Sayed retorted: “Do you really want to have this conversation? Are you circumcised?”
The shocked Fox News host said, “Yeah, but I mean that’s a personal question, doctor.”
Watters then said circumcision is “different than castration,” but El-Sayed argued, “I’m just saying that yes, circumcision is surgery on a kid’s ding-a-ling.”

That makes a lot of sense. I searched and found a good article on the subject: https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/48224/20240117/why-poop-smell-bad-science-behind-unpleasant-odor-stool.htm

Hmm, i had never considered that question. I suppose using a bidet is basically a habit every time you use a toilet with one, but i can’t imagine any advantage from using a bidet by itself before getting in the shower. If anything it might be too much cleaning, re: skin flora balance.
My question was more like, let’s say you wake up in the morning and want to go on a bike ride, but you’re all sweaty from the night, and haven’t pooped yet or used the bidet. Do you have to wash first before getting in the bike shorts? The consensus seems to be that since the bike shorts are going to get “gross” and washed at the end of the workout, it is unnecessary to shower beforehand.
But to me it seems worth it to try to go to the bathroom and use the bidet before the bike shorts as an extra precaution.
Other people have mentioned eating more fiber to try and reduce liquid stool which can escape the butthole more easily. This also makes sense to me. I wonder if it wouldn’t also be a good idea to reduce gas-generating foods to avoid farting in the bike shorts.
I’ve definitely learned a lot in this thread :)

I’m glad that cold water works for you – I’ll keep trying different variations with it.

I hadn’t considered this! So when you poop in the toilet, the bad smell is partially from gases, not entirely from airborne poop particles?
I’m also really sketched out about how belly button lint is from underwear, but i guess that’s off the topic.

I’ve thought about that, but I’m worried the corn starch would act like an extra abrasive, and also be difficult to wash out of the foam-like padding. Does anyone else do that with bike shorts?

Not sure how you got that from my question.
