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.

Still he is often portrayed as the evil counterpart of God, which is as opposite as you will get

I've seen what God "approves of", and I wouldn't call it the opposite of evil.

Maybe God's biggest trick was convincing everyone that Satan is the evil one. ๐Ÿค”

That's why God had to release part 2 of the bible, cuz he's such a dick in the first book. Also why Satan rebranded as Santa.

Maybe the Gnostics were unto something.

Maybe in modern media. He's definitely not portrayed as an equal or opposite to God in the bible. He's just another angel

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely. I just reasoned that God is the personification of good while Satan is the personification of evil. It is just a shower thought, a word game, so don't give it too much thought :)
