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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

If Jesus is the son of God and Satan is the oposite of God, a literal antichrist would be Satan's father, which would be God since God gave life to Satan (lemm.ee)

"anti" also doesn't mean opposite, it means against. The roots of the word, tracing back to the Greek, means against. As it does in French and it's Sanskrit version. All forms of it mean opposed to. This is why language is important and some checks should be there to counter the "language is malleable" argument that people use as an excuse to not learn how to use words correctly. The idea that anti means opposite has been around as long as I can remember, and definitely longer than that, but it drastically changes the meaning of words.
