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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

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.

Also Adam lived quite a long life. Like several human lifetimes
Then there is this fun titbit.
What scripture is that?
It might be a creative interpretation of Genesis 5:3, which I just read as Seth being born when Adam was 130 years old.
Perhaps if they didn't age in Eden, the concept of "living X years" wouldn't apply, so "when Adam had lived 130 years" could be interpreted to mean after they'd been booted out. But they hadn't had Cain and Abel before the Fall, so I don't really see how that interpretation could work, unless it's being merged with other narratives.
