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

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

This vampire joke doesn’t suck as much as usual

This has been solved by modern technology.

Mirrors in the olden days were made with silver, and because silver is the good pure metal it refuses to reflect the evil vampires, hence the lack of reflection.

Modern mirrors lack silver so they will reflect vampires just like everyone else!

Have I been a vampire this whole time?

Can you truly be evil though if you can't tell the right from wrong?

Evil is the state of being without the grace of God. His grace may save someone from evil, but by a any reasonable definition of morality those without His grace are evil, whether they're aware of it and reject it or not, as all good flows from Him. (I don't believe any of this.)

No, that's sin. Evil is causing suffering for no reason other than the lulz.

Isn’t it evil enough that you don’t avoid evil actions? Is it necessary to take it a step further by intentionally favoring evil actions or even restricting yourself to exclusively evil behaviors.

Or can they not reflect and have lost the perception of good and evil?

There's a lot of sensical lore to vampires, and hints/details in the lore if you look for it, you absolutely should!

So, most people are evil then??

Vampires will even admit they suck.

You have no reason to be using URL shorteners in a marked up link, but thanks for the thought.
