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:

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
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. 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.

Quite the backfire on the part of the Ole G man

Yup, but now I can't unless I have 1 angel or at least 500 people staring at me.

All eyes, no genitalia.

Is there a psychoactive substance available to bronze age people in the Middle East? Because a lot of that shit sounds like someone wrote down their bad trip.

Honestly I don't know what the modern depiction of a "biblically accurate" angel even is doing with all the eyes and wings. They were described as burning wheels within wheels or just as any other human.

The weird eyeball monsters described in Revelations are not angels.

"Biblically accurate" angels refers to the Four Living Creatures who surround the throne of God in Ezekiel and Revelation. One is a lion, one us an oz, one is a human, and one is an eagle. They all have multiple wings, four faces, and eyes everywhere.

Contrary to popular belief, the Four Living Creatures are four specific cherubs and are not representative of angels as a whole. Most angels just look like humans; indeed, in Revelation, they are accompanied by 24 angels who are indistinguishable from humans.

It should also be noted that Ezekiel and Revelation are trippy as fuck, quite unlike the rest of the Biblical canon.
