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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
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
- 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.

10-19... I guess he'd really fit in with his followers.
Also, in Dr. Hillman's book Original Sin: Child Rape and the Church he outlines how medieval and earlier rape of children by church leaders led directly out of Jesus' pederasty, something the priests wrote at length about using Jesus' actions as justification.
His other book The Chemical Muse was instrumental in getting academia to admit the widespread use of recreational drugs in antiquity.
Dr. Hillman doesnt get any money from the purchase of these books and he encourages you to pirate them.
Hey they crucified him for being arrested in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) in the middle of the night with a naked ~12 year old boy with a bandage on his junk (some drugs and eunuchs shit) - somehow Christians miss this crucial plot point of his big act. All the other apostles were at that time, out cold on the drugs he had given them.
Crucified between two other traffickers too, lestes in the Greek, same sort of people who held Julius Caesar for ransom - after Caesar got free he instituted crucifixion as the standard punishment for traffickers.
They mistranslate it as thieves and say Jesus was marked as a political rebel or something but the mob of people and heavily armed soldiers that came for him were very justified in their anger.
