Fucking just finished that series... fuck that man si king. šŸ˜¤


Neighborhoodfarmer22

I was definitely roonā€™t reading the endā€¦Classic. Hope the TV show does it more justice than the movie did.


jessicagurlyboislut

Waitā€¦tv series?

GratefulAng__

Ears perk up!


Dapper_Indeed

What series is it?


McSmoug

The dark tower. By stephen King. It flows like a dream. it's quite interesting. If you get into stephen King, it's a must read to understand the depths of his writing.


Dapper_Indeed

Thank you. If Iā€™ve read it, it would have been a long time ago. Iā€™m going to see if I still have it.


McSmoug

If you aren't a big reader, the audio books are really well done. That's the medium I used.


Dapper_Indeed

Thank you. I think thatā€™s my best bet. I love audio books.


EmergencyDapper1720

In 1990, my dad took us along the surf side of Florida coastline in a VW camper from the panhandle to Key West, and my sister read that the entire trip. I was 12, she was 16. Needless to say, she was talking about it a lot! I never dared to enter! Lol


Dapper_Indeed

That sounds like an awesome trip. Did you notice that we are both dapper?


EmergencyDapper1720

Yes, immediately! Honestly though, this is the name Reddit gave me, and I never changed it. Still wondering what it means, too!! Haha


stickyknuckle

Well the series is 8 books and 4250 long so I don't think you would forget reading it


Dapper_Indeed

Ha! I think you are right, even with my adhd memory. Iā€™ve read a lot of his books and wonder if I started and then stopped the first book. I can be flaky that way. Time to take a second look.


GratefulAng__

It was a little disappointing. I had to wait YEARS in between books, but I really miss those worlds.


McSmoug

It would be cool if King took it another for another eternal round


srv318

No shit. Waaay too long a wait. I finally gave up after the 5th or 6th book and never went back.. and that's a good thing.


Immoracle

You have forgotten the face of your father....


Feistyhummingbird

Please tell me you read The Stand.


McSmoug

F long story short. I saw it in a book stoor meant to actually sit down and read that with my own to eyes (the extended version). But I'm dyslexic so reading isn't my thing ingot 130 pages in and I was burnt out then that's what got me into his audio books. Been meaning to swing back around to the stand but have been carried away with some of his other novels. Like the DT. That took way to long to listen to. Lmao


Feistyhummingbird

The Stand is long too. IDK how it would compare to the DT. It's my all time favorite novel and I've read it 3-4 times.


McSmoug

IT was the first of his books I actually listened to. And damn it hit hard. Probably one of my favorite books ever. But I loved the mini series done in the 90s of the stand which is why I bought the book the first place.


Feistyhummingbird

I was disappointed in the mini-series but that was because I read the book first. I remember having a conversation with a co-worker back in the 80s about who we wanted to see casted for different parts. Of course none were casted. I don't recall what my choices were.


McSmoug

I'm a big fan of the cast. But it's by far one of Kings' best cinematic adaptations.

I came specifically to look for this response. I wondered how long I'd have to scroll, boom right at the top.


[deleted]

I read it as a child and that was decades ago


Long_Ad2824

I believe it is a jet contrail far above casting a shadow on the lower layer of clouds, which are drifting with the prevailing winds at the lower altitude to produce relative motion. Super cool! Thanks for sharing!


Consistent-Cook-7430

Ugh this is so accurate no fun, also thank you


Long_Ad2824

Well, it's obviously piloted by aliens. I just didn't want to freak people out until I was locked up in my underground bunker.


mhopkins1420

We can call it a chemtrail instead to make it more fun

CHEM trails! Oh no.

Megahamiam

Weather seeding? Who got rain later that day a state away?


AvailableThroat9966

We had clouds Sun-Tues (in the desert of the southwest). Itā€™s not our ā€œwetā€ season, and it dropped about 10-15Ā° for those few days too. Very odd for this time of the year.


Downtown_Big_4845

This is parallels of latitude just check out your earth globe. But seriously I have no idea what all these strange things in the sky have been of late.


0002millertime

Basically, the eclipse makes the otherwise super wide 'beam' from the sun become very very small, so that shadows from high up objects (planes, satellites, balloons, etc.) become much more focused onto the clouds below them.


AvailableThroat9966

Thatā€™s a potent shadow. But I suppose we donā€™t frequently seen shadows from above cloudsā€¦ that penetrate layers of clouds. Why arenā€™t airplane or satellites periodically doing this too? Something smells off about this.


BloodlordMohg

Didn't he just clear that up for you? The light from the sun becomes more focused, means less rays to bounce around, shadows become sharper as the rays that would normally illuminate them are being blocked by the moon. Usually the rays would scatter and diffuse more and this shadow wouldn't be visible.

Royweeezy

Itā€™s a shadow from a contrail. You can even see the contrail higher up I think.


shanezen

Contrails cannot physically linger for longer than a minute or two


interruptingmygrind

Iā€™ve see some that last for significantly longer than just 1 to 2 minutes. Sometimes you can see a sky full of them like 12 different ones at the same time from various jets that have flown over. I donā€™t think 12 jets flew across the sky within a minutes time. Some can linger for upwards of 20 to 30 minutes. Though I have also seen the ones that dissolve just moments behind the jet.


shanezen

Some are contrails, some are geoengineeringĀ 


PrincipleNo4162

Why are they cheering at the clouds?


MammothBeneficial529

Because it had just gone totality and got dark!


mlc707

šŸ˜¹ I thought the same thing, but then I remembered when we had a partial eclipse or something a few years back here in California, we cheered & screamed too. I remember thinking, ā€œwhy are we yelling? I donā€™t know but FUCK YEAH ECLIPSE BABY!ā€ I even asked the group afterwards whyā€¦ why did we all lose our shit like that? The verdict was: because the eclipse is just cool like that, baby.


Feistyhummingbird

Google, "contrail shadows on clouds" and look at the images. There are some there that are very similar to this.


shanezen

Contrails cannot linger for longer than a minute or two


d-d-downvoteplease

Completely depends on the humidity


shanezen

Yeah it ranges from 10 seconds to 2 minutes


interruptingmygrind

More like 10 seconds to several hours. A simple google search will put your info in check so do one.


shanezen

Cool story bud. Now when you are in the dry Arizona desert and a "contrail" lingers for hours while slowly dissipating into a haze, how do you explain it? Keep in mind there are days with identical weather and humidity, where one is crystal clear blue Sky and the other has trails that turn to haze...Ā  I'll waitĀ 


interruptingmygrind

Because the temperature and moisture level that is present at the surface isnā€™t the same as the moisture levels and temperature happening 30,000 feet above you. Here this is taken directly from Wikipedia. ā€œDepending on the temperature and humidity at the altitude where the contrails form, they may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, or may persist for hours and spread to be several miles wide, eventually resembling natural cirrus or altocumulus cloudsā€. Itā€™s not a story bro itā€™s factual science so just because you think youā€™ve got things figured out doesnā€™t mean that you are correct. With information so easily accessible to us these days, itā€™s funny that you are arguing this point but could have done a simple search and found multiple sources suggesting youā€™re incorrect. Bro


Feistyhummingbird

How can they turn to haze when they only last a minute or two? Whether they last 2 seconds or over an hour the are still contrails. Here's a link for you: [https://satelliteliaisonblog.com/2017/04/13/goes-16-contrails-in-the-southwest-on-041017/](https://satelliteliaisonblog.com/2017/04/13/goes-16-contrails-in-the-southwest-on-041017/)


BloodlordMohg

That is indeed a cool story you told there.


shanezen

No response from the reddit retards who deny geoengineering is real


Feistyhummingbird

Where are you getting your misinformation or was this a completely uneducated guess?


Feistyhummingbird

You know not of what you speak. Actually they can last hours. It appears that this one was recent because it hadn't spread out. Sometimes you can see many in the sky at the same time. "Depending on the temperature and humidity at the altitude where the contrails form, they may be visible for only a few seconds or minutes, orĀ **may persist for hours**Ā and spread to be several miles wide, eventually resembling naturalĀ cirrusĀ or altocumulus clouds."


shanezen

Right cool story bud. So when you are in the dry Arizona desert and have 2 days with identical temperature and humidity, one of them having clear blue sky with no trails from any plane and the other covered in trails that turn into a haze (not dissipate), how do you explain it? I'll wait Amazing you clowns are acting llke geoengineering isn't already public knowledge...denial is insane


interruptingmygrind

Sure geoengineering is a thing and contrails could slightly produce results that align with what geoengineering is all about but that doesnā€™t mean that contrails are really chemtrails. Explain your argument so that we can better understand how to help you see this concept correctly.


shanezen

Geoengineering and chemtrails refer to the exact same thing...wow reddit is full if certifiable retards


interruptingmygrind

Dude, youā€™re the only idiot here. Iā€™ve seen your page. The lack of intelligence is clear.


shanezen

You say you believe in geoengineering but think chemtrails are a crazy conspiracy theory šŸ¤£ so many identical braindead NPCs like you it's unreal. Cloud seeding, geoengineering, chemtrails, stratospheric aerosol injection, ect, ect all refer to the same thing, dummy


interruptingmygrind

Do you know how to read? Where do I say that I donā€™t believe in geoengineering? What I have said is that contrary to your claim that contrails only last up to two minutes, I have corrected you by providing information that contrails can last upwards of several hours depending on the atmosphere, humidity and pressure. Then you start getting defensive claiming bogus information and calling me names. Look this is all factual information. Geoengineering is a real thing, I do not deny that. A volcanic explosion produces the effects that geoengineering seeks to accomplish because it blocks out the sun which cools the earths surface. The meteor that killed the dinosaurs that lead to an ice age also produced the effects geoengineering wishes to accomplish because it too blocked the sun effectively cooling the earth. Never did I deny that geoengineering existed you moron. Geoengineering refers to the deliberate large-scale intervention in the Earthā€™s natural systems to counteract climate change. The main categories of geoengineering are solar radiation management (SRM) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR). SRM aims to reflect sunlight back into space to reduce global temperatures, while CDR focuses on removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and sequestering it safely. But you probably donā€™t understand these concepts because Iā€™m sure you do t even believe climate change is real now do you. You are blind and being led by the blind. In essence geoengineering has good reasoning and its propose is to cool the earths rising temperatures due to climate change. However its methods are still largely theoretical, experimental, and controversial due to their potential risks and ethical implications. All that said back to the purpose for which Iā€™m here chatting with whoever you are, contrails that last upwards of 2 hours are not chemtrails, they are contrails that are in a higher atmosphere which allows them to last longer. Read a fucking book and stop getting all your information from people who aim to turn everything into conspiracy. And you dog, didnā€™t time warp, you probably left it in your car earlier a like an idiot forgot about it. And you have not received all seven sacraments unless you are a widowed priest who was on his death bed but survived so get you shit straight because youā€™re highlighting the idiot you are in front everyone to see. Added: if chemtrails did exist which they donā€™t and you canā€™t provide any solid information That they do, but if they did then they would be a form of geoengineering, but that doesnā€™t mean they are the same thing. Your pretend chemtrails are a type of geoengineering but they are many other things that would fall under the category of geoengineering. And most of these things are theories, not actual practices currently in effect.


Feistyhummingbird

I already responded to your reply to someone else with a link. Here's another link that explains why some days there are contrails that linger. Surely you must realize that ground temps, etc. are extremely different than those at higher altitudes. Also, where did anyone here say that geoengineering isn't public knowledge? Use FlightAware or Flightradar24 to see which commercial airliners are going over. [https://www.pima.gov/438/Contrails-in-the-Sky](https://www.pima.gov/438/Contrails-in-the-Sky)


TheOriginalMulk

It's the Beam. Ka, like a wind.


Cold_Annual9162

It's a jet contrail about the lower level of clouds. The contrails cast shadows on low level clouds = long straight shadow lines. See it all the time here in Seattle due to Boeing.

Man, I keep saying itā€™s UFOs everything that happened with shadows during the eclipse is a UFO. Itā€™s a UFO.

Iā€™m European so I didnā€™t get to see the eclipse but wow. Humans really are just animals howling at the moon.


Plus_Helicopter_8632

Jet trails . Chemical trail or contrail itā€™s exhaust from a jet engine. Far from inexplicable or scary


briskey2086

I know what chemtrails are. This was not a chemtrail. Its a dark shadow that crossed the sun and moon amd as the moon was moving to cover the sun the line also moved with it.


caseyaustin84

Looks like a higher trail was casting a shadow on the lower clouds.


mynam3isn3o

Itā€™s not a chemtrail, considering there no such thing. Itā€™s the shadow of a [contrail](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrail) being cast down onto the lower clouds.


Middle_Distribution7

No such thing? Are you delusional?


northwestfugitive

Delusional? Theyā€™re contrails. Thereā€™s no such thing as ā€œchemtrails.ā€


Kimmalah

Contrails are real, chemtrails are conspiracy theory bullshit.


PositiveAssistant887

Contrails disappear fast. Chemtrails spread out in the sky turning into (clouds).


BloodlordMohg

Humidity levels as well as other variables can affect the time it takes a contrail to dissipate. The slowly dissipating ones are just like the quickly dissipating ones, the difference is the environment they're in. I love how conspiracy people often make claims about things happening under a certain condition like its a universal thing that should always happen everywhere and any deviation is a conspiracy.


PositiveAssistant887

How big of a conspiracy it is when you can watch it happen daily.. some say touch grass some say look up. Dissipating fast/slow (contrails) are different than not dissipating/ forming clouds(chemtrails). You can also use the internet to cross in real time flights and see no flights while thereā€™s several seeding the skyā€™s every hour all day.. the xā€™s in the sky arenā€™t contrails.. the grid pattern clouds come from chemicals sprayed in the sky.


BloodlordMohg

They are. The whole visible sky isn't uniform in every variable. The humidity levels can vary, temperatures can vary even in places you can see. I'm not sure what's hard to understand about that. It's not like the world notices that you, positiveassistant, is looking into a certain direction and goes "oh better create a bubble around as far as this guy can see and keep everything uniform and normalised just for him" There are millions of things in play here, it doesn't matter if you look up or down or whatever. The world isn't a game engine with limited simulation capabilities based on the players field of view.


PositiveAssistant887

Tomato tomato my friend, you say thereā€™s millions of things at play, but itā€™s as simple as contrails disappear, chemtrails form sky covering clouds.


Middle_Distribution7

Tennessee just made a law stating no spraying of any chemicals in the sky. Itā€™s real and youā€™re not too bright if you canā€™t see it. Maybe LOOK UP sometime.


Feistyhummingbird

Maybe get an education sometime.


ICantFindAUserNameF

People are so cute, they still think that chemtrails arenā€™t real, even though they can be seen spreading overhead into a white blanket of clouds that donā€™t ever dissipate like normal contrails.


Feistyhummingbird

Please educate yourself. [https://www.pima.gov/438/Contrails-in-the-Sky](https://www.pima.gov/438/Contrails-in-the-Sky) "In order for a contrail to form, there must be enough moisture in the high levels of the atmosphere for the ice crystals to form around the airplane exhaust. If the upper atmosphere is very dry, contrails will not easily form, or will be of the short-lived type. Persistent contrails can last for hours to days, and spread over thousands of square kilometers, becoming indistinguishable from naturally occurring cirrus clouds."


ICantFindAUserNameF

I admire your trust in what the officials say. I honestly wish I thought more like you! My life would be so much less upsetting.


Feistyhummingbird

Maybe you should actually look at the science of how contrails form and why they sometimes dissipate quickly and other times linger.


Middle_Distribution7

As Tennessee just made it law to not spray the sky. This not real thing seems to be pretty real.


Feistyhummingbird

As most their lawmakers are republicans and some QAnon idiots, this doesn't surprise me in the least.


Middle_Distribution7

And? It doesnā€™t mean that itā€™s not real and not happening. At least some people are actually fighting for others safety.


Feistyhummingbird

Let me guess, you're a Trump supporter.


Middle_Distribution7

Nope. It doesnā€™t matter what ā€œsideā€ Iā€™m on. This isnā€™t a political issue. This is a safety issue and youā€™re clearly ignorant on the topic.


NickleVick

The seam of the dome we live under.


tysonedwards

My guess is it was the shadow cast by an old explorer satellite, one of the ones with an 18 m long whip antenna. After all sunlight is extremely directional and very much like a laser you would be able to confirm by using your GPS coordinates and exact time to see what satellites were overhead.


Downtown_Big_4845

You're joking, right? It is more likely to be swamp gas than that.

ComicallyLargeDeer

You can see the jets contrails way up above the clouds. It's the sun casting a shadow of it. The reason you don't see it normally is due to direct sunlight cutting through the contrails, but due to the moon blocking a majority of the sunlight it's able to cast the shadow.
