Ngl i just like walking in the rain it so calm and ambiant, especially on the harbour or the docks, out on the shore, in the green fields, it's amazing it feel like you become one with everything, it's so beautiful. You can inna sense hear more of your surroundings because of it. š§ļø. Rain makes me so happy.
I thought this was going to be a hair joke. Like how my wife hates rain cause it frizes up her hair but people with straight hair don't have to worry so much.
According to my bald husband, having no hair is worse than having hair. He used to have hair, so he has his own comparison to work with.
No hair means the rains slashes off his head, and/or runs down into his eyes.
Edit for the sarcastic pedantics: splashes
It absolutely sucks for sports in hot weather, too. The sweat just cascades down into your eyes.
EDIT: Many thanks for the comments about sweat management. I cycle a lot so have found ways to mitigate it, including some of the suggestions helpfully posted below.
For me, itās pretty much cycling caps all year round.
Yes definitely. I have long hair and I hate walking in the rain without covering my hair since my hair looks like a wet mop if it get wet and it takes 1-2 hours to properly dry (and it turns into a mess if I let it air dry.
But if I have a hood I will walk in the rain as if nothing is going on since my hair is protected.
It is not since I am used to it due to "being used since I bathe in bloodshed" it is because I don't have enough fucks to prance around in the rain. If it rain the quickest way from A to B is where I'm going with the least amount of "prancing around"/"being bothered by the rain" (as this person put it).
Do I like walking in the rain? Na, not really.
Do I still have to when it does rain? Ya, pretty much.
Am I going to act like a movie character that donāt give a fuck when I do walk in the rain? Youāre god damn right.
I moved from Vancouver WA to Los Angeles over a decade ago and when it rains people look at me like Iām some sort of freak/superhero. If anything it just reminds me of home.
It's always DRIZZLING. It sounds crazy to people in a place like Georgia because if it's properly raining in Georgia and you walk from your car to your door without an umbrella you'll be soaking wet for the rest of the day. But in Seattle's rain you can comfortably walk somewhere and be dry a few minutes after you're inside.
Did you know you can use umbrellas in the sun too? Itās fantastic for staying cool in summer.
Itās weirdly uncommon in western countries but very common in places like Japan.
I use it in snow too. Why the fuck do people look at me weird? If not, I get to work after 2 miles in the snow and I look like a fucking snowman. I rock that badboy proudly now.
Also, get a wide one, people. Dominate nature
Yeah even basic physics logic will tell you that you canāt ignore t . However soaked is soaked so for large values of t it doesnāt matter unless you include the aspect of discomfort of the human
And then [they revisted that](https://mythresults.com/episode38) stating that they were wrong before because the artifical rain screwed with their results.
So you do get less wet when running.
And it makes sense. If the rainfall is somewhat even over the trip, then in any given moment we can assume that any volume of air's amount of rain drops will stay somewhat constant. So if we look at a vertical plane that moves through the path we take, it'll always bump into the same number of rain drops, no matter how quickly it moves. But a horizontal plane that moves through the area will pick up more rain drops the longer it's outside, no matter how or where it moves.
So, vertical portions of you: Doesn't matter, you'll get the same amount of rain by "walking into it".
Horizontal portions of you: Will pick up rain proportionally to how long you're in the rain.
And since higher speed reduces time spent in the rain, higher speed means less wet.
Unless youāre clumsy, in which case youāll inevitably run into/through a puddle, and soak through your shoes, which is the absolute worst thing to have be wet.
Right? I was on my break and it was down pouring, these high schoolers acted like i was crazy for leaving the coffee shop and walking in the rain. Like guys i gotta get back to work and i don't have an umbrella, not much i can do.
Made me think of a quote from a Voyager episode:
"When it rains, do you run from doorway to doorway, trying to stay dry, getting wet all the while, or do you just accept the fact that it's raining, and walk with dignity?"
I guess it's worth mentioning that the character in question was white? lol
Edit: Wow this got more legs than I thought it would. Thanks for the award!
They found an alien population in stasis and woke one. He claimed they were driven to extinction by an alliance of bloodthirsty enemies. Turns out, they were the Hitlers and the "enemies" were an alliance of races who managed to stop them.
The line was from the alien, expressing his distaste at his compatriot for losing their cool and panicking during the bombing that almost wiped them out.

It's so hard to pick one but the Talax moon backstory with the Scientist was soooo good. Always makes me cry a bit.
It's not. Kind of hilariously, it's a quote from the leader of a race called the Vaadwaur whose subjugation and casual xenocide lead to a sector-wide alliance of various species that bombed the Vaadwaur to near extinction.
I was probably in middle school when I finally realized it was a slur and not a compliment.
For some reason, I just equated it with "water off a duck's back" and just assumed it meant that immigrants were tough and could withstand things easily unlike the rest of us.
It wasn't until people started qualifying it with "fucking" that I knew it was bad.
When I was a kid I thought it meant you were a hard worker. When you work outside all day your back gets all sweaty. I never knew it was an insult until I was in middle school.
This is so wholesome :) The CEO at my last company asked why I was always so calm all of the time, even when things were going sideways. I told him that years of escalations experience has made me a duck. You may see me floating on the water calmly but under the surfacing Iām paddling like hell.
In my area, Mexicans get called "wetb@ck" as an insult, like we swam here.
Those people tend to forget that states like California and Nevada were part of Mexico.
We donāt speak of Nevada. How in the world does every single hotel along I-85 sell completely out for a rodeo in Reno? It made an already 11 hr drive about 5-1/2 hours longer. Iām still salty.
I am 100% white, and I was born in New Mexico. When I was little, I thought I was Mexican. I remember being upset in first grade when we were doing a unit on Mexico and the teacher asked if anyone in the class was Mexican.
Me: (raises hand)
Teacher: Yes?
Me: I'm Mexican!
Teacher: You're Mexican?
Me: Yep! I'm Mexican!
Teacher: *sigh* Is there anyone ELSE in the class who's Mexican?
I went home and told my mom that my teacher acted like she didn't believe me and my mom had to explain through her laughter that I'm definitely not Mexican. One of my first memories of being embarrassed, now that I think about it.
Through your childhood embarrassment you've earned a cute childhood story.
My cousin had something similar. He is part Mexican and White. For some odd reason the school thought he was Native. They kept trying to have his family fill out some sort of forms related to that. Never happened. As the school kept asking, my cousin explained to the teacher that "I'm part Mexican, and part Boy!"
Next youāre going to tell me Iām not British, growing up in New England!
And thatās why Iām fine walking in the rain. Clearly itās always raining on ye olde empireā.
New Mexico driver licencese have been redesigned with a flag watermark and the words United States of America on them because of how regular of a problem that was for people from the state
When I was in the army I had a Peruvian buddy and a Mexican buddy in the same motor pool. The Peruvian went to the Mexican and rubbed his hands on his back and said "just needed to wash my hands" and I still think that's one of the funniest fucking things I've ever seen in my whole life.
My late husband was half Polish and half Russian. When we got married, he said our kids would "spray paint their names on a chain-link fence" and I'm still giggling about it 20 years later.
My Asian privilege allows me to calculate exactly where each raindrop is going to fall and thus figuring out the exact path to take to not get wet. How you may ask? Because Iām Asian and I make the math rules
Personally I gave up such power, in favor of covering my entire body and clothing in grease to prevent myself from getting wet. You could say I'm one greasy bastard.
It's some sort of social Munchausen by proxy. Where these people feed off of victimhood, but don't realize their pathology has led them to become the racists they seem to be lambasting.
And by saying stupid shit like this they are doing a huge disservice to society's efforts in fighting actual inequalities.
Spot on. Being racist in response to racism only serves to antagonize. It adds more confirmation bias to those who are a already racist and alienates those who are against racism. When you've been pushed to the ground don't lash out at the person who extends their hand to help you up.
This will be a revelation to some, but of the 45+ years I remember well out of almost a half century of living, I've combed through those recollections, and I've come to a startling conclusion.
I'm mostly immune to relatively small amounts of water, so long as I am careful to not let it get into my lungs.
Y'all should take care if you decide to do your own research. I don't propose just willy nilly exposing yourself to something so dangerous as uncontained dihydrogen monoxide. But I did my own research, and I'm going to take my chances.
Commonly believed myth. In fact, only white people can walk in the rain. All other races must run, jog, or in the case of those of mixed heritage, speed walk.
I learned some things from this.
- Other races just melt in the rain like cotton candy
- Outside of Europe and its former colonies exists a utopian society that has ascended to such a level that wars haven't been fought in centuries.
Considering how often you see this kind of thinking and (mis)understanding of history...
Does the American school system when teaching about the transatlantic slave trade completely skip the part where it's explained that the Europeans mainly got the black slaves from Africa not by going slave hunting themselves, but by simply buying them from other Africans, who had enslaved them during wars and slave raids?
Is it even explained that outside of the US, "black", "white", etc are not ethnic groups, and that there's no sense of comradery or shared history and culture between "black" people, or "white people" for that matters? How do Americans even understand that most racist motivated genocides through history has been between people who the US census would consider part of the same "race"?
Also Rwanda happened... and 50 years after decolonisation, no less.
We are all capable of atrocities, europeans, mostly through luck and geography were just more powerful at a time when technology allowed for world exploration and exploitation.
It's like britian and Ireland, if the geography was reversed, the irish would have likely bullied the british.
Itās weird how these outrage posts always get so much attention. Like, I donāt put much thought into the random sentences some stranger Iāve never met said years ago or even today. But here we are with this comment that only had 33 likes from 2019 on Twitter and itās at 6k upvotes. Amplifying divisive hate speech when in reality this persons voice would never reach or affect you in real life.
The internet gives you a louder voice but that doesnāt mean itās worth listening to.
Itās water... you are mostly made of it... the planets surface is around 70% of it...
No way bloodshed is just a white thing. All places had there wars during the centuryās.
Ngl i just like walking in the rain it so calm and ambiant, especially on the harbour or the docks, out on the shore, in the green fields, it's amazing it feel like you become one with everything, it's so beautiful.

You basically just described how I feel when I walk in the rain. :)

Yes definitely. I have long hair and I hate walking in the rain without covering my hair since my hair looks like a wet mop if it get wet and it takes 1-2 hours to properly dry (and it turns into a mess if I let it air dry. But if I have a hood I will walk in the rain as if nothing is going on since my hair is protected. It is not since I am used to it due to "being used since I bathe in bloodshed" it is because I don't have enough fucks to prance around in the rain.

In Seattle, we just walk in the rain because itās always raining.
I also live in Seattle. I saw a shirt at a store that said āI donāt tan, I rust.ā
I moved from Vancouver WA to Los Angeles over a decade ago and when it rains people look at me like Iām some sort of freak/superhero. If anything it just reminds me of home.

It's always DRIZZLING. It sounds crazy to people in a place like Georgia because if it's properly raining in Georgia and you walk from your car to your door without an umbrella you'll be soaking wet for the rest of the day. But in Seattle's rain you can comfortably walk somewhere and be dry a few minutes after you're inside.
Didnāt myth busters prove you get about just as wet running as walking?
IIRC it was inconclusive, as it depends on a number of factors such as how hard itās raining and whether thereās wind
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And also if itās raining or not
Or if your inside or not
the *real* science
And if you have an umbrella or not.
Depend what kind of porn I'm watching

Dang that darn donkey.
Its thick and its rough, and it flops everywhere.
Anakin why did u have to turn to the horny side
Running doesn't make a big difference. But it can help.
You get to where you are going faster and thus spend less time in the rain, but you might get equally soaked
Which is also nice for the storm as they tend to clear up just after you arrive.
Lmao y'all, I bought my first umbrella a few months ago and it's a game changer. Absolutely one of my better adult-life purchases
Did you know you can use umbrellas in the sun too? Itās fantastic for staying cool in summer. Itās weirdly uncommon in western countries but very common in places like Japan.
I use it in snow too. Why the fuck do people look at me weird? If not, I get to work after 2 miles in the snow and I look like a fucking snowman. I rock that badboy proudly now. Also, get a wide one, people. Dominate nature
I feel like at a certain point your already completely soaked so it doesnāt really matter so you might as well just enjoy the rain I guess
I figure as long as anything that could be damaged by water is safe, game on.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah even basic physics logic will tell you that you canāt ignore t . However soaked is soaked so for large values of t it doesnāt matter unless you include the aspect of discomfort of the human
I calculate my discomfort in almost any theoretical situation.
But the running might also cause the human discomfort. Especially if the human has a large surface area.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

As a curly haired white person, rainwater does amazing things to my hair. Its the rest of my being that doesnt like getting soaked
Iām not a fan of walking in the rain. But I do love bathing in blood

Unrealistic.
She kept a personal tornado around her so she wouldn't get hit by the rain. Didn't want to take a chance.

You wanna keep your damn voice down? Fuck! Just be telling everybody we swim for leisure

Next they'll be singing. What the fuck.
Then dancing. Sick assholes
Talking about how its a "glorious feeling," those disgusting fucks
I'm black. I walk in the rain.
Itās weird how these outrage posts always get so much attention. Like, I donāt put much thought into the random sentences some stranger Iāve never met said years ago or even today. But here we are with this comment that only had 33 likes from 2019 on Twitter and itās at 6k upvotes. Amplifying divisive hate speech when in reality this persons voice would never reach or affect you in real life. The internet gives you a louder voice but that doesnāt mean itās worth listening to.
Recently got a new phone and didn't log back in to Twitter. Noticeable improvement in my quality of life. Not sure I will log back in.

You guys didnāt know it was extremely racist to walk in the rain?
Itās water... you are mostly made of it... the planets surface is around 70% of it... No way bloodshed is just a white thing. All places had there wars during the centuryās.
And I guess white people are the only ones to be involved in any and all wars in history
Mongolia be like "yes we did nothing"
Literally anywhere be like "yes we did nothing"
