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:
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.
I couldn't get over Abraham repeatedly trying to get cucked and god cockblocking it by telling the other party in a dream every single time. I know it happens at least twice and I think three. He just kept tryin'!
Somebody told me they found the Bible boring one time and I was like that's literally the one single thing it's not. Telenovelas have nothing on that shit. And that's in the very first book. We haven't even got anywhere near the interracial gangbang snuff porn yet!
Depends on the part of the Bible. The long descriptions of the temple are boring (unless you're really into architecture) but the stories are interesting
You are on the right track. There is so much more to unpack. It's all stories of family dysfunction all the way down. Cain and Abel squaring with whose sacrifice was more acceptable. Noah cursing one of his sons/grandsons after the flood for uncovering his nakedness (read Ham had relations with Noah's wife and fathered Canaan). Even Joseph's sons got the old switcheroo with their blessings.
Yeah, there's a lot of weird stuff I left out. It's a long book
Literally The Handmaid's Tale right there
It was part of the inspiration for the Handmaid's Tale. Literally in the book/show, Bible passages are used to justify the handmaid system. One of the red centers is named after Jacob's wives
Jewish people bless their children to be "like Ephraim and Menashe." They are two of the sons of Joseph and pretty minor characters in the story, but they are the first brothers who are treated without favoritism and actually get along.
It's good Joseph finally broke the cycle
The cosmic family, in fact
