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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Obviously it's to make room for the first gay pope.

Perhaps the war between Heaven and Hell wasn't fought on Earth. Hell won, and Satan is in charge now.

I've got to know Professor Lucifer personally; He can be quite pesky with His Math and Physics tricks sometimes, but I promise you, He's not the manager... You may want to talk with "Yaldabaoth" instead.

But is he mormon or protestant?

He is a scientologist. And his real name is Xenu.

Eru Iluvatar is not a scientologist. I have a number of books, not just one, that say as much, so it must be true.

That god does exist and is just a huge piece of shit.

[–] dsilverz@catodon.rocks 1 points 9 hours ago

Exactly. Specifically, the following p.o.s.:

Meme version of Yaldabaoth (Demiurge, the creator god believed as a tyrant in Gnosticism) happily watching the world burning.

Can be explained however you want. You can't prove a negative. God does not exist because that is what makes the most sense overall. Same reason santa does not exist and ghosts don't exist and superman does not exist.

The universe was depending on good people killing the bad people.

Iron Maiden did a whole song about this phenomenon, as it happens.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

You don't understand. It's all part of gOd'S pLaN. And God, being omnipotent, naturally develops plans that we couldn't possibly comprehend. So don't even try. Stop asking questions. Just let the Big Man handle things. It's all good. If you die an awful death you'll just go party in Heaven anyway. Who even cares what happens here?
