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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Stereotypical religious nutjobs in the 80s and 90s were all "The end is nigh!" Now that science supports them, they're all "Everything is A-OK!" (lemm.ee)

Bold of you to assume they believe the end isn't still right around the corner.

Most of the stereotypical religious nutjobs I know just use climate change as an example of the end times.

A lot of those types believe in climate change, but not because of fossil fuels or any of that fake news science stuff, but because it's punishment from their god for allowing the gays to exist.

Hmmm... The gays making everything hotter... This actually checks out.
