Showerthoughts

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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

God is just really into child sacrifice. For real, it's a central tenet. Jesus. Abraham. David. Noah. Lot. Job.
"God is more important than your family" is literally a theme throughout.
I remember my dad drunk driving us three kids home rambling at us how if a man put a gun up to each of our <10yo heads, and that man demanded my father say he didnt believe in god or he would shoot us, my father was drunkenly proud to scream in front of his god and children how he would watch that man blow our brains out.
He wonders why we don't talk to him.
God damn. I'm sorry.
Boomers and religion. I got some words for king james
My dad is/was a very conservative pastor. As is my brother. And two of my uncles.
I get it, to put it mildly.
