    Weren’t there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?

      Sounds reasonable. If the sun gets stuck behind the moon there we’d be toast because we need light to see stuff and where we’re driving.

        We might need light for a few other things, too. :)

        I didn’t see it, so I think I would be fine.

      Jesus. You can’t even see a solar eclipse everywhere when it does happen. Travel really does broaden the mind, I suppose.

        There was at least one lady who thought it was the rapture.

          I wish they were right because it would be awesome if all religious fundies were taken somewhere else. Too bad they often aren’t good people and many, if not most, would end up being left behind. Imagine the tantrums when they realize they’ve missed the rapture. I bet we’d see a rise in Satanism that wasn’t just a front to challenge Christian bias in religious rights but instead a rebellion against a god that spurned them. And then I wonder if they’d be surprised that atheists still want nothing to do with them.

        I was in the path of totality. Which was amazing, but there were a LOT of people crowing about “something” happening during/after the Eclipse.

          Was it the occultation ceremony? Please, not the occultation ceremony.

            No, it was usually the rapture.

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.
