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.

If you're grasping at cousins as being the sole separator you know you have a problem. But also there's a lot of conflicting information, such as Cain settling in the city of Nod east of Eden which suggests I guess that there were people outside of Eden already. Don't take anything too literally, and jokes are jokes.

And God got mad at Lilith for not being obedient and banished her so perhaps there were a series of Liliths. I think Eve was taken from the rib because that was supposed to make her less independently minded than creating her from the dust like Lilith.

Actually, the rib part is a bit of a mistranslation: https://youtu.be/FN4pVp6lNJ0

So many comments in that video from people saying " i speak Hebrew. Tsela means rib"

This is not a good video to support your claim that its a mistranslation
