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.

Everyone makes incest jokes about Adam and Eve and their children but they never mention that there was another woman named Lilith (Adam's first wife) who would have added variance to the gene pool. (lemmy.world)

What scripture is that?

It might be a creative interpretation of Genesis 5:3, which I just read as Seth being born when Adam was 130 years old.

Perhaps if they didn't age in Eden, the concept of "living X years" wouldn't apply, so "when Adam had lived 130 years" could be interpreted to mean after they'd been booted out. But they hadn't had Cain and Abel before the Fall, so I don't really see how that interpretation could work, unless it's being merged with other narratives.
