I've never met a loud and outspoken atheist that didn't celebrate Christmas.

    @Doomsider all the so-called Christian holidays are actually pagan occasions.

      @codewizard
      What does pagan even mean, living in a world where solstices exist?

        @jesuisatire solstices are universal phenomenons, irrespective of where you live !!

          sure.

          and winter solstice is the the rebirth of light (and there for life), so tagging some christ stuff to it does make sense.
          (in the northern hemisphere)

          and people enjoying family gatherings does make sense to.

            @jesuisatire for us, soltices and equinoxes are fundamental to astrology. Our seasonal festivals revolve around those.

              Well, for Christians who think that they have the mandate and obligation to disseminate the good news that you have to be afraid of death so they can sell you the relieve that suffering in the here and now will take away from you the fear of a especially invented hell after that fearful death, it is utterly important to appropriate culturally the customs of those they wish to conquer so they can participate in their parties mimicking to be just another one of the many …

                  We bonobos are just antiBS, that’s all.

                  … and we decided to let the females be bigger and stronger than the males so we can live peacefully in matriarchy ever after, e’fing around when ever we have the need to do so.

                  That’s way simpler, and a lot easier, than to figure out how to turn a golden calf into a tortured figure on a cross so you can dance around it and live your life on your knees instead of rock and roll on your feet …

                  Who needs to pay taxes to an institution to tell you that “keep calm and care for each other” is the best strategy for social beings? Only tribalists who fall for dumb nationalism and MDF (my dick first).

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.
