The Bible story of the apple was probably originally a birds-and-the-bees type talk. Probably for girls. (lemm.ee)

The snake (of the trouser variety) tempts Eve with the forbidden fruit (hanky panky) that she shares with Adam. The consequence of which is painful childbirth.

They're even specifically stated to be naked for this situation.

Does that count having to find or build shelter every time you had to relocate?

Why did a number of native American tribes settle and become agrarian? Seems unlikely it was forced by wealthy landowners.

...

Companies advertise their products, do you think the only people that buy them are ones who have seen the advertisements?

What does that have to do with my question?

I said Abrhamic religions were an advertisement for agriculture.

You asked my why anyone would move to agriculture if it hadn't been advertised to them.

I was trying to help you realize that.

No you didn't, and no they weren't, and no I didn't. Also I was talking before the arrival of the Spanish (though I only implied that part).

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: 1

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
    • If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
  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.
