    Yeah I had my yard full of destroying angels last summer, when they first showed up I was all “sweet! Mushrooms!” Because they look real similar to agaricus. But then I saw the white gills, and was all :(.

    And I made sure to tell my kids not to mess with them and why.





  • lol

    1000% yes.

    had one go through my town about 2 blocks from work.

    They thought it was over and gave the “all clear” so I was going between buildings starting equipment back up and I looked at the sky and the clouds were going 2 different directions at about 100 mph. went inside and saw the debris cloud out the window and thought: “yeah it’s time to get in the shelter now”

    the track was also about 1 1/2 blocks from my house. I lost about 10 shingles off my roof. down the street, the neighbor had the whole roof peeled off his house like the lid of a tin can.

    they really do sound like a freight train rumbling down the track.

    also it sucked a bunch of air out of the building so that all the closed doors made a howling noise.








  • Lol I know this is a joke, but I remember reading (on reddit many years ago) about a project someone did where they made the computers in the office broadcast and listen for certain information via infrasound. Something about joining the network or staying on the network or something.

    Something about using a similar encoding scheme as that used in GPS signals because it was so low power, but could be picked up in different rooms across the building.

    God I wish I could remember the particulars.
