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
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) 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

If Spider-man was invented today, people would call it copaganda.

Yeah, cause he takes all the fun parts of their jobs (catching bad guys, killing civilians) and replaces it with paperwork after they wait another hour for the guy in the web to be removable.

Okay, what if Spiderman, but he's actually public enemy #1 and webs up brutal cops?

Isn't that Batman?

Only if there's a side plot involving a sovereign citizen

Sovereign Citizen could be a wacky villain.

The Stupendous Spider-Man #131:

“How Nefarious! It’s the National!”

Cover Art Description:

Man leaning out of a car window while pointing a gun at Spider-Man in the distance. The man’s license plate says “PRIVATE”, and there are multiple bumper stickers with the words “TRAVELLER” and “NON-COMMERCIAL VEHICLE”.

The National yells fiercely at Spider-Man, “I never entered into a contract with you, Web Head!”
