The Bible story of the apple was probably originally a birds-and-the-bees type talk. Probably for girls. (lemm.ee)

The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

What does that have to do with my question?

Why did a number of native American tribes settle and become agrarian? Seems unlikely it was forced by wealthy landowners.

I said Abrhamic religions were an advertisement for agriculture.

You asked my why anyone would move to agriculture if it hadn't been advertised to them.

I was trying to help you realize that.

No you didn't, and no they weren't, and no I didn't. Also I was talking before the arrival of the Spanish (though I only implied that part).

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
