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:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- 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
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.

That's not true at all.
Gospel of Matthew 24:30
“They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Acts of the Apostles 1:11
“This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”
Matthew 25:31-32
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory… all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them one from another.”
Matthew 24:27
“For just as lightning comes from the east and is seen as far as the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
Matthew 24:30–31
“Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds.”
Granted I'm catholic, maybe you're referring to some obscure Protestant scripture.
I think OP is referring to the passage following what you posted, Matthew 24:36-44:
There's some additional passages in the Bible that reference the "thief in the night" motif, namely 1 Thessalonians 5:2, 2 Peter 3:10, and Revelations 16:15.
That said, my interpretation is that these talk about the point in time which is unknown, not about the manner of Jesus' return.
