[1]GDPR: Don't forget to bring a towel!:

    May 25 is Towel Day, when fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
    Galaxy jokingly adorn a towel and praise the household item as if it
    prepares the owner for any sticky situation. Author Douglas Adams
    was a master of these tongue-in-cheek references to our modern
    existence, helping the reader (and listener) feel as if they might
    one day walk across their livingroom and into a silly, star-spanning
    adventure.

    As [2]The Guide says, "A towel is just about the most massively
    useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. Partly it has
    great practical value." But the true power of a towel is its role as
    a symbol: "More importantly, a towel has immense psychological
    value… any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy,
    rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and
    still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned
    with."

    Possession of a towel is a calming force, a reification of the
    mantra printed across the cover of The Guide in big letters: "DON'T
    PANIC".
