i knew someone who almost stuck my lighting, her hair started to stand up, she ran inside and BAM

My high school physics book had a picture of people smiling outside with their hair standing up, right before lightning struck. Smart girl to run.

That’s why bald people never get struck by lighting. No hair to attract it

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

its the way lightening works, it finds a ground if going strike the ground.... your hair raising is from static electricity when it finds a ground

Good reason to shave your pubes. Don't need that enormous lightning rod to get hit.

yeah standing outside is worse than being under a tree... we were just taught this, its basic common knowledge

Also the two kids in boy scouts amazed at their hair sticking out like a tesla coil trick, then boom! Lightning.

And also the more famous : Michael McQuilken, and his brother, Sean, 12, climbed California's Moro Rock in 1975:

Caucasian hair standing on end and tingling skin may be signs that a lightning strike may be imminent.

Ouch! : https://files.catbox.moe/jwxjlp.jpeg

But is it worth it to stand in the rain, only to later found out, that the lightning ⚡ didn't strike at all?

You know this dude was at church the next day like: "Look man, whatever it was.. I am so sorry"

Fuck THIS guy in particular.

I wonder what type of shoes he had on? Not rubber soles for sure. Grounding is great and all, like when it's not a thunderstorm.

I remember reading that guy was going to assault that couple before he was hit.

Stand under the arms but don't get to close, priveledge tells you that the whites do things you can't understand. Never stand next to a tall tree, never install windows ten. Brave browser is compromised, never take a jab or fuck your cousin. The list goes on and on.

Here are the recommended tips: https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/lightning/safetytips.html

Essentially if it's a thunderstorm keep moving until you're inside shelter or a vehicle. Hiding under a tree or lying down aren't very good ideas. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to lookup the science behind why that is the case.

[–] • 0 pt

Never use a cliff or rocky overhang for shelter.

Any idea what the rationale is for that? Is it that it might collapse?

[–] • 0 pt

Dammit lying down is not good? What then? Crouching quickly home?

[–] • 1 pt

Yes, actually. Crouching and standing on the balls of your feet to minimize contact with the ground.

just be shorter than the next guy

Thank you. I cam actually see whats happening. Streamable is so unwatchable. Is it run by niggers or something?

[–] • 2 pts (edited )

You're welcome. I don't even risk loading any of these weird video sites. Who knows what crap they're running on them and data they're trying to harvest.

This is one of the sites I use to grab videos from links people post. Depending on the site, I just drop the link to a posted video here to get a download link, then paste that link over to catbox to upload it onto there:

This video grabber site can't grab a video from some sites unless the page is loaded and it then grabs the video to give you a download link for it.

I almost got struck by lightning while mountain climbing. I switched from atheist to theist that day.

Had a buddy who was fishing in bad weather. When he cast his line, his lure was suspended. Then wham! Lighting hit it. No I'll effects but he was pretty damn lucky.

I worked for a land surveyor in Florida who was struck 3 times on different occasions and still lives today.

I remember in highschool we learned if you've been struck you are more likely to get struck again. I'm not sure if its true but they played a video of a woman struck 3 times

[–] • 1 pt

What superpowers did he get?

[–] • 0 pt

Suspended like how?

[–] • 0 pt

He had cast his line out and it stayed in the air almost like it was floating there or like when you cast into a tree limb. Just enough time to think that's odd and then BAM! Lighting strike.
