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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. 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.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

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.

Look, I’m going to go straight from the Bible here, skip all the “god is real god is not real” stuff.

Look, if God is real and he created all of everything, why in the hell would he also decide that nearly every living thing would suffer forever? The only two reasonable explanations are that no animals go to heaven or hell and they don’t have souls and heaven is purely for humans, or they will be pardoned because one that doesn’t know good from evil cannot be damned. Not to mention, have you not read Genesis 2? It’s literally Adam and Eve who are perfectly fine but once they know good from evil, suddenly that knowledge allows them to be damned. If a dog or a cat can’t know good from evil, why would they ever be damned?

Please at least read the book you follow
