I once saw a good guy shoot the Evil insurance CEO that was responsible for thousands of deaths and endless suffering.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 day ago

Shut up, no you didn't. The CEO ran into a bullet. Nobody saw anything.

When my cat tries to run she first dosen't have enough friction with the floor and keep running for a second on the same spot and then go away fast as fuck

I once saw a barmaid singing along to a popular song, and jump onto a table while singing. The whole bar joined in, singing and dancing. Moments after the song ended, my friends came back into the room, where everything was back to normal, and they didn't believe that anything had happened!

For some reason my first thought was “whale”

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That would be pretty memorable...

If this is anything except ODOT exploding a whale I will be disappointed...

edit: booyah, a user of culture is what you are.

Blue is usually islands. Often used for counterspells and other instants.

Land, like a whole continent, on the shoulder of a girl

Would atlas shrug?

The raptor. From the Jurassic World series.

Eagle. Ripped her head right off, and flew away with it.

Land on the shoulder of a little girl in a princess costume.

Pretty sure they're referring to a Hooloovoo.

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Now there's a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel's at.

I'm going to guess 'bluebird'

I once saw a guy get struck by lightning. Well I didn’t see it exactly since it was blindingly white followed by some moments of confusion. But one minute I was talking to him from across the street. He was under a palm tree about to get into his car. The next minute I was on the ground, he was on the ground, the top of the palm tree was charred and on fire, and on closer inspection the tires of his car were melted to the driveway. Not a cloud in the sky, so obviously the “May lightning strike me if…” jokes haven’t stopped near 20 years later.

Thank you for specifying “once”

[–] artifex@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well I wanted to be clear that I wasn’t talking about Roy Sullivan.

My neighbor? He's fine. He was deaf for a few days and weirdly the palms of his hands were burned but it doesn't seem like there were long-term effects.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Actually common in lightning strikes. Exit path gets burned to shit but otherwise you can be weirdly ok. The shock wave is what does the most damage

[–] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Having your muscles suddenly contract with all their power can't be harmless either.

Whale maybe. Would be crazy to see a Chevrolet flying through the air

When I was a kid, I fell asleep on a camping trip after eating way too much candy, and a relative got a picture of me with a humming bird examining my mouth. Literally, "Honk, shoooo, mimimimi..." I was so bummed out that I missed it.

In a similar vein, I was at a baseball game once when I felt something yank on my hair. I whipped my head around to find a hummingbird hovering next to me that had apparently mistaken my hat for a flower, stuck its beak into one of the holes on top, and pulled on my hair.

There's a trope about people and their dogs looking alike: I once saw a three legged dog being walked by a person with a leg cast.
