Annoying? Quite the opposite. Forget the self dissolving property of the web and assume it's there forever. Now you got a material that is extremely light and extremely strong and flexible. Companies are going to pay to collect them. It's gonna be like ambergris, but exclusive to one city. People would flock to collect Spider-Man web. I wouldn't be surprised if Spider-Man web is outlawed by the government and becomes even more valuable.

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-----
