A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Aside from the many obvious inconsistencies, I like to mention the main flaw in Noah's ark being saltwater and freshwater fish. The flood was either fresh or salt, so one of those two types of fish would need to have been stored on the ark to survive. No mention of that, of course.
That's the main flaw??
I humbly disagree.
'Aside from the many obvious inconsistencies' were my first words.
The fish thing is something rarely considered and usually leaves dogmatic Christians with their mouth gaping like a fish for a moment as they try to think of an answer (of which there is none).
The Jehovah's Witness guy in my work explained it away (or thought he did) by saying the fish that survived adapted. To which I said 'You mean evolution?'
He, of course, said adaptation is not evolution. The hoop jumping continues.

Actually, both types of fish species needed to be stored
Big regions of saltwater and freshwater could stay separate, ane on many places on earth they do. No need to go that far to debunk that fable.
The bible describes a global flood that covers the highest mountains, so that would not be possible. All freshwater would be subsumed by salt water.
Okay, ill play along :) All of the new water would be fresh water, so that would make around the same ammount of fresh water and salt water. They still wouldnt mix because of a differences in density.
Could be regional flooding. He probably didn't hit the Chinese at the same time. Not like Noah was well versed in global maps. Dude only saw where he was was flooded.
Or God put all the freshies in stasis cause God can make a flood and does w/e whenever.
Could also be pirate space monkeys came and saved all the fish and then returned them after. Itβs really fun to make up situations where the fish didnβt die in the story. We can even give Noah a staff and special powers as long they justify our view of the world.
Love it. It's all fan fiction so why not. Whatever is popular is the lore.
