      We need to find in ourselves the permeability to pass through a great invisible filter that separates the past and the future of humanity. We are collectively at the kind of moment that only happens once for a species.

    Clearly this means it’s already ended. An you sure you’re not in an afterlife right now?

    It’s not a shocking attention grabber anymore. Most people are well aware that the world is in a bad spot. Some idiots still argue about why, but most of us know why. We’re in the end times. It’s not biblical and no great battle will be taking place between good and evil. It’s happening slowly, and increasingly hotter. The end is no longer nigh, it’s here. I used to hope that we’d be better, and put in my part of the work. Now I still try, but I no longer have hope for humanity as a whole.

      So how long until the end is over? If the end is now, when does it seem like the actual end?

    Do you mean correctly? If not, there have been several predictions this month.

    There was a lot of talk relating the eclipse and Israel to the end times, and then last week there was this: A screenshot of a Fox News tweet saying that biblical numerology predicts the end of the world will be April 23rd, 2024. A date that is now a week past.

    We’re already riding it it I reckon. Should be like a deep breath out, but I think we’ll eventually recover.

      Hah, I agree. No need for the nutters to predict it when civilization is dangling its toes off the precipice. You can see it on the horizon. Global instability, wars, anthropogenic climate change. They’re holding their breath like the rest of us.

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.
