Waves

It’s worth checking https://twitter.com/picpedant or https://twitter.com/hoaxeye for stuff from these trashy “nature is amazing” accounts - in this case picpedant retweeted https://twitter.com/mcnees/status/1303133328770560002?s=21 which links to a hoaxeye blog post that explains it is sea spray not cloud, and includes a link to the original video and creator

Thanks!

Gender didn’t set the woods on fire; revealing it did. If parents could maintain a decent silence about what their babies’ naughty bits are liable to look like, these things wouldn’t happen.

This gender thing is an irrelevance. The forest was apparently set on fire by improper use of fireworks, which should never be allowed to be used by untrained and unlicensed persons, and without written permission from the local health and fire safety authorities, an indemnity and a very large security deposit.

This keeps happening with gender reveal fireworks.

They clearly can't be trusted with gender.

[anna_wing]

In all seriousness, fireworks are dangerous incendiary devices, and absolutely should not be allowed in amateur hands.

[andrewducker]

Certainly not anywhere that is prone to wildfires!
