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-----

It must be annoying for New York City workers to constantly have to clean spider webs off buildings in the Marvel universe. (midwest.social)

Can he swing from a web?

I mean, probably.

Spiders usually do it in reverse. They tether themselves to what they are on then "let go" and let the wind take them, with their tether being a lifeline so they don't go too fast and in case they don't get anywhere, then they can just go back to where they came from.

And then you run into all these travel webs when you walk your dog at night, and get to wonder if you have a spider somewhere in your clothes or hair, just waiting for the right moment to scare the every-loving shit out of you.
