Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool.

    Well, since it’s all made up, I guess you can claim whatever you want.

      We’re here for an interesting discussion. Mythology totally off the table for you?

        May as well be discussing the hypothetical offspring of Santa and the Easter Bunny.

          At the very least it’s more like discussing a TV show or something

          How about we discuss John Steinbeck’s novel East of Eden. Know where the title came from and how that plays into the story?

          Go back to /r/atheism child. Adults are conversing about mythology.

            Unfortunately I doubt you’re going to have an academic discussion like this in a stupid thread in showerthoughts.

            Although it doesn’t sound like the discussion you seem to want to have would be very interesting.

            Edit: I was partly wrong. There’s lots of very interesting mythology discussion happening in this post.

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:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

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.
