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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When I was a child I had a revelation; if Santa isn't real then the tooth fairy also isn't real. Then growing up, if the moon landing isn't real then nothing (of the same kind ) we are told is real.

The two claims about Santa and the tooth fairy are independent of eachother. Just because one isn't real, doesn't mean the other isn't.

If one god isn't real, doesn't mean they all aren't real. You should learn the basics of logic and fallacies. This is pretty simple stuff.

The Moon landing is definitely real though.
