Hot Take: Spider-man doesn't actually have spidey sense.

What he's feeling is just generalized anxiety disorder and hyper vigilance brought about by Post Traumatic Stress.

#UnnecessaryHotTakes #RuiningEverything #WhyDoIThinkAboutThis
The more I think of this, the more it makes sense.

In the versions of comic where he makes his own web shooters, he probably doesn't have ANY powers. He's he's just constantly experiencing hysterical strength due to constant stress-induced overproduction of adrenaline.
Alternately, if Spider-Man actually DOES get some sort of trans-normal ability to detect danger when he's bitten, how can that even work these days? How can he function?

Allow me to present a brief one-act play destailing Spider-Man's origin story if it happened in 2020....
Peter [a winsome youth] Alack! I am a teen!
[Enter Spider]
Spider: Prithee, I bite.
Peter [sotto voce] 'tis but a fig, I notice not.
Spider: My venom spent, I fly me hence
though it doth grant the boy a warning sense!
[Enter Fascism, Covid, & Global Warming]
Peter: Fucke!!!
[Fin]

Christmas Story is not a good movie.

Beloved? Yes. Good? No.
A few funny bits? Sure. But most of the humor is predicated on some really ugly cultural assumptions prevalent in a blessedly bygone age.
In the classic "Fudge" scene, Ralphie swears, and his mom interrogates him about it. "Where did you hear that word?"

The dad's been cursing up a storm the whole movie, mind you.

Ralphie panics and blames his friend...

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Wait, no they're not,
(What the hell's wrong with you?)

Roses are red,
Violets are violet,
Either is a better
love tale than twilit.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Lilies are white
Dandelions are yellow
Carnations are pink
Marigolds are orange
Delphiniums are kinda purpleish…
Where was I going with this again?
