A misconception that seems to be surprisingly common.
BCE refers to before the guy's supposed birth. Easter is about his death, in around 33 CE, and has nothing to do with how we count years.
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.

It’s all made up anyway so I’m gonna make it from his death and party like it’s 1993
You do you, just don't come complaining to me when your bank account suffers the y2k bug.
Fun fact: it's actually called "Maundy Thursday." No, I don't know what that means without looking it up.
Might confuse the Last Thursdayists
I’m the only Last Thursdayist I know an it makes sense to me.
This makes zero sense.
Jesus is estimated to have been born between 6 BCE to 4 BCE and estimated to have died in either 30 CE or 33 CE.
So the first Good Friday would have been in 30 CE or 33 CE.
The last Holy Thursday BCE technically doesn't exist because it wouldn't be a thing until at least 30 years later.
Moreover, the last Thursday BCE would be in December of 1 BCE when Jesus was a child because the switch from BCE to CE happened when the year switched.
Spending way too much energy breaking down the timeline of Harry Potter's life and death tbh.

Nope. Still doesn't make sense.
I'm just calling easter Dawn of the Dead. Since Jesus was zombified or whatever
It’s Maundy Thursday, and Wednesday is Spy Wednesday
Why not because it was supposed to be Jesus's last Thursday?
That would make more sense
