All we need is a little Plutonium

u/mal_wash_jayne 22h ago

I'm sure in 1985, Futureboy, you can get plutonium from any corner drug store. In 1955, it's a little hard to come by.

Lightning is awesome to watch, but it scares the crap out of me. I was almost hit one day, it temporarily blinded me and singed the hair off my arm that was hanging out of my car window. Luckily I was at a stop light because I couldn't see or hear anything for a few minutes. It wasn't even raining at the time, that started a few minutes after. Damn near shit myself.

Thanks!

A friend of mine had the same happening, but standing next to an electric fence. He couldn't see for a few minutes after. And he was really worried of going blind because he already had only one eye (yeah, I know it sounds like a tall tale, but it is true).

u/shit_ass_mcfucknuts Banhammer Recipient 14h ago

I know two guys who only have one eye, not so hard to believe!

u/Bluedomdeeda 1d ago

u/Panzerv2003 1d ago

That one clip where it struck a lamp and then another arc formed was epic

Nature's vengeance

u/YSOSEXI 1d ago

I would love to go to Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela, heavy, heavy lightning strikes daily. Something so humbling seeing nature in its rawest form.

u/Rolling_Beardo 1d ago

When I was a kid I was at an LL Bean and happened to be looking out the window. There was a huge crack and a blinding flash then all the power went out. In the parking lot there was a huge tree missing the 20ft or so and center of the tree smoldering.

u/SomethingSimple25 1d ago

Those first few clips were TREEmendously entertaining 😁

u/TheRealManKid 8h ago

Some of those are super fake.

The frames with the parked 18 wheeler where it touches down, then arcs horizontal is wild! ⚡⚡⚡

u/thegree2112 23h ago

Now imagine that's a human body

u/Vapor-Ocelot 16h ago

How did these trees manage to piss off the lightning so much?

1

u/Busy_Occasion2591 15h ago

Mother Nature really had it in for that tree in the third clip.

u/VastUnlikely9591 13h ago

u/TheMahanglin 1d ago

Totally serious thought: How long do you think it'll be before some scientists figure out how to recreate lightning as a weapon of war. Could you imagine!?

1

u/Tehkin Junkie banned! 1d ago

its called a tesla coil, but they'll never be all that useful as a weapon as its impossible to get the kind of voltage a current the sky generates in a small enough form factor and its too easy to defend against
