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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

We literally have manuscripts of the Bible that are dated over a millenia before that date. The Bible wasn't written in English or Latin. The new testament was written in Koine Greek. Jesus' name is Ἰησοῦς.
Here is the Bible compared to the original text, your requested source of research.
In fact, Jesus name doesn't begin with J in most languages.
In Arabic, it is Isa. In Chinese, it is Yesu. It was originally "Yeshua" (using latin characters to represent the greek and hebrew)
Yeshua travelled east and became Yesu, then the Y was dropped in some places. Esu to Isa as the vowels warped.
It gained an S on the end and traveled west, would have been pronounced Yesus, as J was pronounced equally to Y... until it wasn't in English. Kinda like José in Spanish is pronounced like Yosé. So when it was written down, Jesus became pronounced Jesus.
Interesting. Very valid reference link.
Thank you for sharing 👍
