Showerthoughts

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.

One major difference: bankruptcy is real.

Maybe he was actually crucified, but if he was, it was not for our sins. That part is as real as the Easter bunny or Old Gregg.

We don't know if Jesus had a downstairs mix up

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

We do not. But maybe he created the funk.

What're you doing in my swamp, mother-licker?

Oh, 100% true. The logic behind the God of the Bible doing this to forgive our sins is asinine. Some good moral stories from the Gospels (some bad), but the story itself is the product of its time and place, not anything divine. I only didn't insist that in the title because it wasn't the focus of the thought.

Oh sorry. I agree with everything you said in your reply. I was just being stupid. I quite liked your post, and I myself am not religious. Mainly just wanted to mention old Gregg.

Great post, I had a quite sensible chuckle when I read it.

Bankruptcy is real in our minds, and finds home in reality only insofar as everyone agrees to treat it as real together.

[–] Tedesche@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, not having any money to buy food and pay rent is a real problem, no matter what your mental state is or how you choose to think about it, much less anybody else.

That’s brokenness, not bankruptcy
