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-----

Eve had two sons. Cain found a wife "somewhere". Cain was also marked so no one would kill him, but the three other people known to exist were his parents and dead brother.
Cain found a wife in the Land of Nod. It's never explained where those people came from.
Genesis 5:4. Eve had three named sons (Cain, Abel and Seth), but also other sons and daughters. That would be where Cain found his wife.
But he was cursed and went East, presumably to another tribe? Need to read Genisis again.
LOL, the two creation myths confused me as well. That's another interesting tale to take apart.
