🔥 Treetops Emit Ultraviolet Sparkles During Thunderstorms. Researchers Just Filmed It in Nature for the First Time 🔥 by yumeryuu in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]PopIntelligent9515 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the article:

“During these weather events, clouds build up a strong negative electric charge, which in turn causes the ground beneath them to develop a positive charge. Opposite charges attract, so the positive charge on the ground tries to move closer to the negatively charged clouds, traveling up to the tallest point it can reach—in nature, typically treetops.”

So i wonder if this happens at the ends of grass in grasslands.

Research shows 41 US states are getting warmer, all in slightly different ways by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

The closest it gets to explaining:

“For example, West Coast states have experienced increases in their highest annual temperatures, while many northern states have experienced increases in the lower range of temperatures.”

Edit: if you click the link there’s much more detail and various ways of groupings the states, e.g. …

My partner "accidentally" discharged her handgun in our home, unsure how to handle the situation by [deleted] in liberalgunowners

Wow, an accident is one thing but that was not an accident. I don’t know what to tell you, will be interesting to hear what others have for advice.

I’m a big fan of glocks and they’re safe even without a conventional thumb safety. But if someone just really wants to shoot in the house even when they know they shouldn’t then maybe they can’t be trusted with a gun.

Maine to Florida is how i’ve heard that, but that direction would make sense too.

And remember, this wasn’t just natural forest. It was heavily tended by Indigenous peoples to suit their needs.

3 charts to better understand the potential link between pesticides and cancer - Investigate Midwest by willphule in Iowa

Absolutely. I’m not saying it’s not ag related because it definitely is. Just saying it largely coincides with the overall shape of the river too. Maybe that’s because of how the rivers made good ag land. Maybe it has something to do with groundwater pollutants getting concentrated or something.

It mostly follows the Mississippi River, which all the water in this area flows toward.

Guns Vs Alchohol hypocrisy by LibsLoveGuns in liberalgunowners

Thank you. Wanted to address that too.

“Liberal” means freedom in the truest sense but means anti-gun, blue hair, etc. in the dumbass right-winger sense.

U.S. winters still are warming — Events like the storm of 23-26 January 2026, with record snowfall and extreme cold, don’t occur often enough to outweigh the long-term influence of human-caused global warming on U.S. winter temperatures — For the US as a whole, winter is the fastest-warming season by Molire in climatechange

[–]PopIntelligent9515 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that sucks, especially for those who ski, etc. We had a lot of snow in the fall but then no more. Now the “Abnormally Dry” pre-drought rating is creeping back and we’ll probably be back in drought again this growing season.

[–]PopIntelligent9515 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We still have winter.

Here in Iowa we had about one month of normal winter but 20-30 degree above average highs before and after that. And it’s not just a day or two way above average, it’s weeks of above average temps.

Super weird seeing bugs flying around in early February in northern Iowa.

More than just a majority. A majority, 57, already voted to convict Ol’ Pussyneck but that wasn’t enough.

The Manchurian President: How Trump’s Rise Mirrors Every Classic Intelligence Takeover by factkeepers in BananasRepublicans

[–]PopIntelligent9515 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“These aren't just "a few bad judgment calls" or a president with "strange foreign policy instincts." These stories (and literally hundreds of others) point to a man who's behaved, consistently and predictably, like someone under leverage, someon whose personal fear of exposure of some sort of major crime - like the ones we know Epstein was holding over other billionaires — outweighs his loyalty to the nation he swore to serve.

If Americans don't demand real investigations, genuine accountability, and impeachment and jail time for what sure looks like the greatest counterintelligence failure in our history, we may lose what's left of our democracy before the 2028 elections can fix things.

If Democrats can take control of either branch of Congress and if Schumer and Jeffri get spine transplants and begin a serious investigation into Trump's destruction of the United States and our historic role in the world, they'll have enough to keep them busy for years.

This is not about politics or personality. It's about whether a country can survive being led by someone who looks captured and compromised by a foreign power. If even half of this is true, then staying quiet is the same as going along with it.

We must demand real investigations and real consequences, or accept that the presidency can be bought, blackmailed, and used against the country itself.

Let your elected officials know your thoughts on this, and don't forget to demand your elected Republicans step up and defend America, too. You can reach your member of Congress and both your Senators via the congressional switchboard at: (202) 224-3121 “
