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-----

If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters. (lemmy.world)

Batman is a detective, a detective! 99% of what he does has nothing to do with fighting

Wayne's a deranged lunatic. 99% of what he does has everything to do with failing to cope with childhood trauma (and a bad case of affluenza), and very little to do with any real events happening around him.

99% of what he's doing is using his own past traumas as a tool to prevent similar traumas from happening to other children.

If you can't see your batman comforting a dying child in her last moments, you don't have batman, you have the punisher in a funny hat.

Stop commenting on the punisher in a funny hat and telling us you're talking about the guy with the best track record in comics for rehabilitating rogue's gallery members if not completely then to the point of finding a place in society where they can live their peace, save maybe for the flash, depends on how much of his rogue's gallery by mass is currently evil speedsters.
