Sadly, I would bet most people are killed by debris before getting to be picked up.

I feel like the most fun part would be when you get up to speed so instead of getting torn apart you'd just be high-speed vibing.

Like, the part after getting torn to shreds.

Well, how's his wife holding up?

To shreds, you say?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah. It's not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

More specifically, who the wind is blowing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I hear he’s blowing Steve from accounting.

You wouldn’t believe it if I told you, but the wind really gets around. I think he’s close to blowing every single person in the world, penis or no.

No way! That blows my mind!

So you're saying we need a suit of armor and tornados become funados?

Edit: this said fumados not funados which is not as... Fun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Noun

fumado (plural fumados or fumadoes)

  1. smoked fish, especially a pilchard

Ehh, sounds like it could be fun to me

@Philharmonic3 @The_Picard_Maneuver Are we sure the first few 2x4s aren't fun? Like the first few bricks and cars?

To quote Ron White "It's not that the wind's blowin', it's hwhat the wind's blowin'"

And the fall

Does getting sprayed in the face with a sand blaster full of broken glass sound fun?

Dermatologist hate this one trick!

It's because it's funny

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

That’s exactly my biggest takeaway from my experience with a ‘nader. I was a fairly safe distance from it, clearly didn’t kill me, but as it moved closer the sandpaper wind was absolute misery. Imagine being so scared for your life and needing to see in order to get the fuck away from danger, but your eyes refuse to open to the sandblasting.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah it's horrifying. I remember reading when I was a kid that the wind is so powerful it can puncture trees with straw. Like hay straw. That's insane.

In this country, you gotta get the pickup truck first. Then when you get the pickup, you get the tornado. Then when you get the tornado, then you get the fun.

He drove away because he didn't want to be late for the job interview... Fucking capitalism, man 😢

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I got caught in a dust devil on my road bike and that sucked hardcore. Tried to shear the bike out from under me. I would utterly like to avoid any tornado, kthx.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It is a well known fact tornados are more scared of you than you are of them, they only act violently out of fear.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I should have brought it flowers 😭

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Would that have been too much to ask?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Its a joke sure but like the only reason getting thrown around on a roller coaster is fun is your body telling you youre in danger while yer mind knows you're safe.

Skydiving was fun too, but i wouldn't have enjoyed a second of it without that chute on my back.

If someone invents a tornado-safe flight suit tho there'll be adrenaline junkies camping out in tornado alley

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Welp, since a dude near here was trying to save his dog when his home got caught up in one and the first few spins tore him up and threw him around hard I would venture to say it's a no.

Livestream it and everyone will know.

(I almost said record+upload it but I assumed serious injuries)
