Uwe Boll would agree
"Once you get past a certain threshold, everyone's problems are the same: fortifying your island and hiding the heat signature from your fusion reactor."

Quote from: claws on April 18, 2026, 01:42:25 AMIt's strange how my weather app uses borderline orgasmic language to describe its excitement over rising temperatures. I understand they need to provide some flavor text with the forecast, but I really wish they'd stick to a neutral, professional tone.

On top of the hyperbole, they've started using the term "blood rain" constantly this year. It sounds more like a B-movie title than a forecast. I actually had to look it up, and according to the definition:

    "Blood rain occurs when high concentrations of red-colored dust or particles mix with rain, giving it a red appearance as it falls. It is not actually a meteorological or scientific term; rather, it's a colloquial phrase that dates back quite a while."

Since it isn't even a scientific term, it's no wonder I've never heard it in legitimate weather news before. I'm not sure why my app is so insistent on using it, I suppose they're just trying to stand out from the competition with "edgier" branding, but it mostly just feels unnecessary.

Sounds like the app's trying to create a new environmental cause, or something.....

I've had to replace my bluray player I've had for about the last 10 years, as it no longer reads discs properly.... and as I unplug it I feel like I'm saying adieu to a close friend.... sad or what!?!  :bouncegiggle:  :bluesad:
