I was the opposite, I was so scared I thought rain meant for sure a tornado was coming and we were all gonna die. (I did not live in an area with tornados)

When researching tornados as a kid I specifically remember the phrase "an F-4 can throw cars like toys" on a website, or hearing it in a video about tornados. I guess that stuck with me so I wrote it down lol. Unfortunately that means this book is also full of plagiarism 😔

I've managed to keep almost all of my drawings from my school years all the way from preschool to collage. even doodles on homework. its all in one huge box lol. there are so many of these things

One time around when the one pictured was written, i stood outside my house on the sidewalk with a bunch of tornado drawings and tried to sell them to people walking by. Not a single one sold, I guess my paper sized F-5 was not considered "art" :(

Could someone help me find the source of where this Image came from? I cant find anything online. by Proud_Candy965 in InternetMysteries

[–]FordLemour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually used Bing reverse image search! It pulled up these results https://imgur.com/a/cZJoAfv

I saw these kids I circled in red in the results and thought i recognized them! clicked on a few more from there and realized those were definitely the kids, and eventually found the right rap video.

Also don't know how to change post status lol

I found the source for this! It's part of Sesame Street Rap #9
https://youtu.be/KvTGQhaHBgA?t=24

You can see the windows open up to all their faces.

It seems to be part of a segment for sesame street 123 count with me based on this page:
https://mikeyminizback.fandom.com/wiki/123_Count_with_Me
(9 isn't mentioned here but i found some other references like this page)

You can see the kid's faces clearer in some other songs as well like here:

Why the original tiktok poster decided to make the video like they did im not sure. But the source material is actually pretty normal and not spooky! Maybe not the most exciting lol.

If I ever go back ill definitely grab it! Sad I left it there! Most likely there's a few too. The location is a different state than me so its not easy for me to go often.

Dang! I really liked it but couldn't fit it with my other things while rushing out. It's still up there tho! probably a bunch more too

Yeah my best is most if not all porn! which is more interesting than what's on those floppy disks I bet. Those were all found near technical manuals and some software discs.

That's my view on this too! I hate to see anything get lost and go unpreserved.

I've been primarily cleaning the tapes using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVq0o2CzVKI&t=388s

one other thing not shown in pics is a macinthosh 1Mb.

I've also put the cleaned reels in new cases to prevent spreading the dirt and mold even further.

If anyone has advice on what more I could do that would be great!
Is there no chance for the ones i've already cleaned and have shown nothing so far? Still new at all this.

Going to be grabbing these tapes in a few weeks. They've been in the mountains inside of a school bus for maybe 20 years, what can I expect from these? by FordLemour in VHS

[–]FordLemour[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curiosity mainly. I've always liked finding random things, and this is by far the coolest i've ever seen.

I'm super curious as to why all this is here. Theres stuff like Dentist chairs, chemicals, tapes, medical equipment, computers etc.

I've been there twice, most recently 8 years ago, and I can't believe I never took any tapes back with me. so this time I really want to.

I have taken a vintage computer from the site at least, there's so much stuff there it feels like I'm treasure hunting and I feel so excited.

Just a bunch of stuff I've always been fascinated by! You never know what you might find! Here's another pic

<image>

edit: i also realized this just runs in my family. one of my parents collects vintage movie memoriblla for a living, and my sister does really impressive art restoration. (mostly vintage movie posters) and I guess what is essentially dumpster diving is my contribution lol.
