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.

Parker could simply quit his job as a freelance photographer and sell the formula to his own web shit, because he made them himself and aren't part of his super powers.

As a superior raimi fan, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I firmly believe that the only reason Raimi made it that way in his movies is to have that scene of Peter learning how to use them.

I like mechanical web shooters better but that scene was pretty funny

This is literally the very first thing he tries to do in the comics before he becomes Spider-Man and it doesn't work because the people he reached out for thought it was too short-lived.

But also, needing to juggle real life responsibilities like having a job is one of the main appeals of Spider-Man as compared to, say, the Avengers.
