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

New, official Spider-Man stories get released all the time. What's stopping the writers from including a school shooting in a plot? Maybe they already have. Maybe school shootings aren't a big problem in Queens (that's where Peter Parker is from, right?).

Good writers don’t want to give Marvel their ideas or characters… so we just get dumb shit like Mary Jane as Jackpot now.
