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.

I hadn't seen it before so my first thought was "uhhh... Superman?"
I mean were those buildings even evacuated? He probably killed a fair few innocent bystanders there ๐
Superman knows where there's people and where there isn't. Authors can argue there wasn't anyone there.
I wonder what insurance would look like for those people, tho. Like if you live in a city where this sort of thing happens even once every few years, nobody is going to insure the area. Maybe they have some sort of government program like FEMA, but like.. even that would probably be very limited.
So he may not be killing people outright, but he is very likely still absolutely destroying their lives at roughly the scale of a tornado.
