The next storm?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Is that a real image?

[-] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 2 months ago

It's a real screenshot from 2004's banger The Day After Tomorrow.

Hate how people are downvoting this guy just for asking a question, like what is this, reddit?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

I wouldn't worry about it. There's a very sad person who tries to downvote all of my posts on a regular basis.

I call that the validation downvote. Just means the federation is still working.

I think they're downvoting the Squid, not the content of the post. I imagine a poster like Flying Squid has made some enemies along the way, the kind of people who literally go and downvote all their posts.

I'll take what I said on Reddit and bring it here: Don't comment on downvotes, they don't matter.

Why would a satellite actually imaging storms want to place a satellite in the image as well?

I think its from some movie, like "the Day after Tomorrow" or something.

Because in movies you can have a shot of a satellite while showing a shot of the storm. I think that's fairly harder to do in real life, seeing you'd have to have two satellites perfectly in sync (and they go pretty fast) or a satellite (space stations are satellites as well) with a very long selfie stick.

Edit actually yah googled "the day after tomorrow storm" and this was one of the first images to pop up, the exact same image https://www.syfy.com/sites/syfy/files/styles/scale_862/public/2022/12/storm.jpg
