just realised the most important one didn't attach to the last post
“Poor? Have you tried starving?
“
What if we
And I do mean this
Set their buildings on fucking fire
“To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less.”
― Oscar Wilde
Looks like they’re doing both at once now!
Nora! My pride and joy 😭💕
I've been reading facts on Wikipedia again, and i'm overcome with the need to terrify non-Americans with the most underrated Terrifying American Thing: TORNADOES
Due to a quirk of mountain and ocean placement, the east-central United States has a higher number of tornadoes (particularly exceptionally strong tornadoes) than any other place on Earth.
And they're so fucking scary oh my God
Reasons tornadoes are So Fucking Scary:
- they can form really suddenly and move really fast, so you have like a few minutes of warning when one happens
- their behavior is arbitrary and unpredictable. They can obliterate your house and leave your neighbor's house untouched
- the most powerful tornadoes are so strong that it's nearly impossible to even measure them because measuring equipment is straight up obliterated in those conditions, but they've been known to exceed 480 km/h wind speeds.
- please just read this wiki article it's the scariest fucking thing ever
- like with F5 tornadoes you'll see a lot of stuff about trucks, SUVs, furniture, appliances from homes like refrigerators etc being "lost/missing" and you may think to yourself "how does something that large just get 'lost' surely there's a better description of what happened"
- and well. the above article does provide the 'better' description. And it's "granulated."
- As in, "debris from many of the obliterated homes was finely granulated."
As a born and bred Alabamian, reading this is very funny when you're so desensitized to them that when you're woken up at 3 am by the sirens theres a very good chance you'll be like "if its my time its my time" and go right tf back to sleep
I mean I've been there but I contain multitudes okay
Tornados can put a 4x4 through concrete but also that siren going off right when my muffins come out of the oven is annoyingly inconvenient…
This feels appropriate to add.
