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

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.

In the comics he tries to sell the compound and no one wants it iirc due to its lifespan. Stupid but at least it's brought up

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
