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.

Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden

Based.

She became the first demon. The first example of the Bible literally demonizing women.

Sort of but not really. Lilith isn't in the biblical version of Adam and Eve. There might be one mention of Lilith in and unrelated story in Isaiah, or it might be an old Hebrew word for screech owl.

The connection to Adam comes from folktales and fanfics written 1,000 years later. In terms of biblical tradition, she's closer to Steve than Adam.

The Bible does a fine job of demonizing women, starting with Eve. But Christians don't need a scriptural reason to demonize something they can't control.

Good point, I meant 1000 years after the ecumenical councils established what books would be included in the Bible.

But you're right, Genesis and Isaiah are old testament, much older than the Bible.

We need the Book of Rejects. All the books and stories that were considered but not included

Steve ? You mean from Minecraft?

That's the reason my wife and I named our daughter Lilith.

She's not taking anyone's shit.
