When I see things like this, the following quote comes to my mind:
Rationality is not a character trait, it’s a process. If you fool yourself into believing that you’re rational by default, you open yourself up to the most irrational thinking. [1]

Its not like the weather isn’t recorded everyday for the past while now, right?
You’ve seen how much evidence there is that the earth is spherical and that germs are real right? Just because information is recorded doesn’t mean it will be trusted. Anything they like is true, anything they dislike is “fake news”
Hello yes police? This guy over here is talking about record keeping. What’s that, you need to shoot me too? Anything for my country^^tm
Mmmh @grok is this true?

It used to snow as late as April in southern Kanto (Tokyo metro area) back in the early 2010s, sometimes leaving several cm on the ground for days.
I spent last winter in northern Kanto and it only flurried a couple of times.
When I lived in the NE US in the ‘00s it would snow so much the airports would shut down for a day. Piles of snow would last well into spring. Last time I was there it snowed maybe a total of a foot for the entire winter for a couple years running. All those winter scenes in film, or even Currier and Ives prints from the turn of the last century are the only context that it used to actually snow and stay covered for months at a time.
Same deal with Lake Placid, NY and Hakuba, Nagano, you ask anyone who’s been in a snow area since the 70s about how impassible people’s yards became from the snow when they were in their 20s. At least Sapporo got snow this year.
I grew up in NE Ohio in the 1970s. Generally the first snowfall was in early October and by November the ground was entirely covered in snow. You didn’t see even hints of green grass until the end of April and the snow wasn’t entirely gone until some time in May (and the giant mounds of snow thrown up by the snow plows would often still be there into June, after school had let out). That is literally half the year in snow cover. Granted, being right next to Lake Erie makes the snow situation about as bad as possible, but it’s nothing like this today.
That shit made me move to the South as soon as possible, but it took me a couple of decades to realize that institutionalized racism is worse than trudging through snow once in a while.
institutionalized racism is worse than trudging through snow once in a while
How many black kids went to your highschool? There’s still institutionalized racism in Ohio, it just takes slightly different forms.
In the beginning, autumn and spring duration were 13 weeks. Then six, then three weeks. The last autumn lasted for a week. In next year they will be four days, we could be seeing a summer and winter transition in eight hours, until they switch in four minutes.
brace yourself, winter debate is coming
God, I remember when that meme was so fun to use.
!RemindMe 2035
MRGA guy on the right
If amoc shuts down we’ll (nordics) have a Siberian climate.
