Lol I can’t stop hearing Vanessa Carlton “A Thousand Miles” in my head when I see this photo!

Because I've recently had one of those "your experiences are not universal" moments, please humor me

If anyone wants clarity on the distribution of thunderstorm conditions

hey quick question. Does this graph imply that a good chunk of the US has two to four MONTHS worth of thunderstorms every year?

Because like, yeah, we've got a few times of year where we expect something on the neighborhood of one or two a week (or sometimes a week off and then three days straight), but I am having a hard time believing that we deal with thunderstorms for 1/6 or more of the year.

That is indeed what it's saying! If you're interested, there's tons of info. For example, Florida has several months of pretty much daily thunderstorms every summer.

And I mean, "Florida" is a big area, and not every thunderstorm is big, noticeable, or right over your head. Not every rainstorm is a hurricane. You (I presume) do not have radar detectors strapped to your head. But that's what the climatologists (who nobly bear the radar detectors for the rest of us, press f to pay respects) have found.

As a Florida native, the idea that there are places in the world where rain is common but thunderstorms are rare is mindblowing to me. I've gone my entire fucking life thinking of 'rain' and 'thunderstorm' as synonymous. Rain without thunder and lightning isn't really rain to me, just a light shower.

I am in my mid 30s and I am legitimately learning for the first time here that places renowned for frequent rainfall like the UK or the PNW are largely experiencing thunder-less rain. Like... what the fuck? You might as well have told me that in other parts of the world, the sky is green and the grass is purple.

well the good news is, in the PNW at least, you are correct to describe it as "just a light shower" most of the time! rain does not COMMIT up there, which is why people there can get away with making a weird shibboleth of not carrying an umbrella. when I moved to Portland from Houston, I learned that Portland and Houston get about the same amount of rain every year in terms of inches -- it's just that in Portland you get it parceled out a little bit every day over a 9-month period, and in Houston you get it all at once at 3:30 in the afternoon one day in August.

quick question where do we put thundersnow in this poll

In the American South, during the summer, there's always a chance of pop-up afternoon storms as the day heats up. At least until you hit high summer, and then it's drought season.

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.

Love to see this post getting notes again. None of us are ok.

ting ting TING TING TING! TING! *panting out of breath gasps in time to the beat* I LIVE FOR THIS STUFF

fun fact a few months ago I showed this video to my 4 y/o brother and to this day he asks me to play the song (glitter and gold) because he is convinced it is “The Avengers Song™”

A lot of fanvids either have the sound effects and speech lines overpower the actual music. This is one of the rare few when it’s actually properly edited to match the beat, and doesn’t rely on “oh, it’s that line you like! And that other line!”

Remember that Loki is a little shit

“I’m listening”

Every time I watch this I get the biggest adrenaline rush and I love it

This is AMAZING. Bless the talented fans who make such beautiful works of art for the rest of us!
