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
- 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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

The fiery pit/dante's hell version doesn't actually exist in the bible. The main thing about hell is you don't experience god's love/presence, which is weird but a lot better than an eternity of torture.
If you experience god's presence please consult with your psychiatrist, I'm not joking lol
People who think God has talked to them are just people who really sure about a thought they had
That's wild. Have you tried DMT?
I'm just referring to what's in the bible, I'm agnostic. (Incidentally, I only became agnostic after reading the book of job)
What about the post right above you?
into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.God's love seems a little temperamental and reserved for some nasty people. I think I'm good on God's love.
Oh he is, but that post above is Mathew talking.
The example Id use is the book of Job. Basically Satan and God conspire to make a faithful guy's life horrible.
So why have churches been threatening their victims with hell for centuries? Could it be they all make it up as they go along?
The rest of the stuff you said isn’t in the Bible either
