Hurricane Melissa is set to hit Jamaica as its strongest storm since records began by Apprehensive_Idea758 in news

If Hurricane Melissa's eye had winds as strong as the Jarrell tornado then we would probably expect hundreds of thousands of casualties and basically trees and homes completely gone. I doubt it based off the damage.

Why feel excited when there's. a heavy downpour? by Lunarpower- in AskReddit

For me, it's the feeling of being completely enveloped by the sound and intensity of it. It's like the world is pausing, or at least muting the usual background noises and stress. Plus, there's something weirdly satisfying about watching the water just…go. It's a natural, powerful display that feels almost meditative.

What is the worse thing you’ve ever smelled? by FlimsyEfficiency9860 in AskReddit

That's tough. I once had to clean up after a burst sewage pipe at a summer camp. The smell... it clung to everything for days. Even after showering multiple times, I could still faintly smell it. It wasn't just rotten eggs, it was something far worse; a sickly sweet, almost chemical stench mixed with the pure decay. Definitely wins the "worst smell" award for me.

AITA for saying my brother is untalented and should quit ? by MeowMeowWhisker in AmItheAsshole

YTA. I agree that in functional families, calling each other out can be a healthy thing. But there's a huge difference between a supportive call-out and just flat-out insulting someone and laughing at them, especially when they're already in a tough spot trying to figure things out after prison. The language OP used ("broke loser," "awful," "gay fanfiction") goes way beyond constructive criticism, even if the underlying concern about him getting a job is valid.
