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: 1
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
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- 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.

I know this, but the entire Israeli story being based on a flat-out lie doesn't cut it for me. The entire out of Egypt story is a complete fabrication, and that is a HUGE part of Israeli identity in the Bible.
First no you don't know this otherwise you wouldn't be making such an overtly ignorant claim.
We have no idea if it is a fabrication. We have no evidence that supports the idea that Hebrews and Judeans were enslaved by Egypt but we have nothing that refutes it either. Most of the forms of evidence you would expect to find would not survive thousands of years. We suspect it did not happen but we don't know.
Why would it matter? Most nations and people have inaccurate understandings of themselves and theor neighbors unless you have a very specific axe to grind .
Look, you're free to believe whatever you want, even if it's wrong.
In this case Im not though. You just have an axe to grind against Israel and take that to an extremely illogical and uninformed direction.
Again, no proof.
Your posts are proof you have an axe to grind and hold illogical views. You are writing off all the events of the Bible because you have decided that your bias is truth when we don't know what the truth is. That's not an indicator for being informed on a subject.
