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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

TBH it sounds more like you are getting a little smug high off of a hypothetical situation with what would seem to be a caricature of a less educated, easily gulled person. Young Earthers can also enjoy Jurassic Park.
I lived with a YEC (didn't know it when we moved in). He was one of the brightest people I've ever met, which made it extremely surprising when I learned his views. I wouldn't share a home with someone I didn't respect.
I think YECs can be well educated and still live in the dark. You might be projecting.
