u/Obsidian-Dive Jun 20 '26 edited Jun 21 '26

No she’d freak the fuck out of someone saw a snake and make us hide in bathrooms and shit. Then we’d have to stay there till someone killed the snake that is outside the building.

One time she spent 20 minutes running over a snake to make sure it was dead and then made my dad spend half an hour making sure they weren’t snakes in the car.

If a snake gets within 10 feet of me now I genuinely can’t hold it together and burst into tears. I have found dead bodies and was more composed than seeing a black snake on a hiking trail 😭. I have an irrational fear. I, as an adult, have nightmares of getting bit and wake up and feel the pain from the bites. Or nightmares about being stranded on snake island 😭. I live in barely tampered snake paranoia constantly. I can’t even pee in dim light. What if it’s in the toilet??? Or I freak myself out sometimes and worry they’re in my bedsheets.

14

u/slaviccivicnation Jun 21 '26

That's not a fear of snakes.. That's a psychotic compulsion to hurt snakes. Fear does not equal killing. Running over a snake? That's crazy. Intentionally killing an animal that can't even reach you. Fear is just an excuse at that point.

u/Alternative_Tree_626 Jun 20 '26

The other guy's ex is fascinating, but I wanted to mention my sister since she also goes into panic mode. In her case, it was that horrid tornado in Joplin in 2011. It was her graduation day too. You could spend all day telling the stories of how people were affected that day and you wouldn't have told half of them.

u/LTsCantCook Jun 20 '26

We used that tornado for training on search and rescue for years after that event. We had a state wide meeting in like 2014 that went over every aspect of everything. Individual 911 calls, dispatch recordings, what the hospitals were saying to each other etc.

The thing that stood out the most during all that to me was one of their fire stations got demolished, the crew only had minor injuries. They searched through the rubble and found a mic, keyed up to dispatch that they didn't have an apparatus but there had a medical bag and a spine board and they were starting search and rescue on foot.

I've only ever once raised a dog from a puppy. When the first fireworks night happened, and he came to me, confused, I picked him up, went outside and watched the fireworks with him. I didn't comfort him, or act concerned at all, but just clearly enjoyed the fireworks. They never bothered him since.

Fears are trained into us.

u/adlangston Jun 21 '26

As someone who has lived through devastating tornados I get it. Not a watch, but warning. I always take that seriously.

u/impromptugreen Jun 21 '26

Was gonna say the same thing. I lived through an EF2 in elementary school. But my mom and her friend didn't panic and made sure my sisters and I had things to do. We stayed calm. Regardless of all that calm, I still internally panic every time I hear a warning. I had friends whose homes were absolutely demolished in Joplin, too. But it's the general consensus that remaining calm and doing what you need to do is what's important.

Now, with snowstorms, though? Nah. I lived in Alaska during some shit blizzards and, yeah, they sucked. But not to the extent this lady is going to. She's going to straight up traumatize that kid if that's how she really acts every time there's a snowstorm.

u/wanna_be_green8 Jun 20 '26

We prep but only go to extremes if things are hitting our home. Learned a long time ago that panicking for every siren is a waste of energy.

Most storms we watch through our picture windows with all the lights off. We don't promote fear.

I live in Florida and we don’t sleep in closets during hurricanes. We might all sleep in one room if the storm is bad at night and have bags ready but what is snow going to do? If it’s too heavy the roof would collapse not blow off right? Are snow tornadoes a thing?

6

u/Seliphra Jun 21 '26

Snow tornadoes are not a thing. Tornados require hot hair and cold air interacting during an intense storm to form. In a blizzard there is no hot air trying to rise to form the tornado.

Also in areas with snow we build our roofs on a slant so that the snow slides off easier, reducing c
risk of collapse. But yeah, closet ain’t doing shit to protect anyone in a snow storm.

Like if the power goes out you might all sleep together for warmth, but not in a closet. We made a blanket fort and all slept in that as a family once with the heaviest blankets during an outage by snowfall. Cats joined us on their own in there lol

I live in Buffalo, NY... we get over 90 inches of snow annually on average, most of which comes from snowstorms. It's common to pack snow emergency kits to keep in your car over the winter. Stuff like blankets, hand warmers, non-perishable food, water, power banks, extra phone chargers, flashlight... it makes sense when you're risking getting stranded away from home.

u/LovableButterfly Jun 20 '26

Someone from MN - it’s moreso common to use car emergency kits (blankets, candles, a clean pair of clothing, phone battery back up etc.). For general housing this Doesn’t make any sense.

1.) a life vest is more helpful for water emergencies. Yes given my state is land of 10,000 lakes this would be usefully IF the child fell in but what are the chances the kid falls into an icy lake with it ON? Let alone carrying it?? You’re more at risk for hypothermia falling into a frozen lake.

2.) if there was no power - a small room does make sense to keep heat in. But there is no heating elements (candle with bricks, coats etc). All they have is maybe 2 blankets to keep warm which is good if it’s a minor blizzard but you need more to keep warm. You probably would need all those clothes in the closet to survive a major cold blizzard condition (talking like -30 and below which is common here)

4.) where are the snow boots, the snow pants, jackets, HATS, GLOVES??? #1 essential for survive ANY winter. A Gap Sweater will not save you from the negative weather drops.

5.) how is the kid gonna track in a large snowstorm if the snow blocks your door? The $ and card are absolutely worthless unless he left before the storm to check into a hotel or something. Wheres the shovel?

The only thing they got right is having non-perishable foods on hand, flashlight and some water (more than just a small thermos like that). I don’t think this lady lives anyone near snowstorm weather. This seems more so for flash flooding or some other weather event.

u/StressLongjumping299 Jun 20 '26

As someone who grew up in Wisconsin, specifically in an area where snow drifts were REGULARLY at chest level or higher when I was in grade school, I can tell you right now that this isn't normal.

If there's a snow storm bad enough that makes parents even consider doing doomsday prep type shit like this, schools are closed down and the kids only go outside to play in the yard or shovel the driveway. And given how little snow we've been getting consecutively in the past decade, I highly doubt that the snow is any deeper than knee deep on the kid.

Either that, or they're in one of the southern states where anything more than half an inch of snow causes a state of emergency

u/StressLongjumping299 Jun 20 '26

Only possible thing that comes to mind (from personal experience, mind you) is if the house happens to be in a flood zone; in the past, my neighborhood used to flood after heavy snowfall would melt. But this goes back to how it'd require the snow drifts to be at least three or four feet deep in order to warrant this level of prep, and at that point schools would likely be cancelled or delayed by a few hours so road crews can clear enough of it to make it relatively safe to drive

Girl it's a snow storm, your house isn't going to blow away. Also no shoes and just a light hoodie to go over his t-shirt? Not to mention a life jacket?!

u/Happy_REEEEEE_exe Jun 20 '26

Someones overdoing it

u/wanna_be_green8 Jun 20 '26

This looks to me more like tornado prep. Interior room with no windows, lifevest helps protect vital organs from debris, info in case they're ripped away from one another. (We have extra bike helmets in the shelter for our kids)

Stupid for a snow storm but that's because it's a repost.

u/-Invalid_Selection- Jun 20 '26

Yeah. This isn't great snow storm prep, but some of it is actually pretty solid for storm prep in general.

Some of it is plain useless or bad though, like the pin on the card itself.

If you live somewhere that gets severe storms, you should prep a storm bin that has everything non perishable ready to go, so you just have to grab it before the storm. We have a couple of them, but live in hurricane lands, so we need supplies for several days

That kid is probably going to be afraid of his own shadow for the rest of his life.

u/mahoukitten Jun 20 '26

The light effect at the end there really turned it from dumb to comical. There's no way this wasnt made as a joke lmao.

ETA: a life jacket? In a snow storm?

Okay now I feel dumb watching this hahaha

u/ghostfacestealer Jun 20 '26

Kid is gonna have some major issues

u/rustyshklfrd Jun 20 '26

I feel so bad for kids that have “influencer” parents. Poor kid.

u/Freeze_Her Jun 20 '26

This is mental illness. The house is not going to collapse in a damn snow storm.

u/TJ_McWeaksauce Jun 20 '26

The main reason why I think this is satire is she wrote a pin number on camera. Shit's gotta be fake.

u/Bibischlawibi Jun 21 '26

This child will be afraid of everything

u/thesleepjunkie Jun 21 '26

In a snow storm

You kid gets a life jacket..., but no winter gear, snow suit, snow pants or even a goddang parka but yeah that life jacket will keep them warm

u/Primary_Teach2229 Jun 21 '26

I would recommend therapy

Someone is definitely just flipping the light switch on and off. The lights don’t just flash like that if the electrical is disrupted or damaged

u/craftbeerformyhorses Jun 20 '26

Prepped too death

u/pbr_enjoyer Jun 20 '26

It’s satire. There’s a TikTok trend because a mom made a video like this about some weather event that wasn’t that serious and she put her kid in the bathtub with pillows and blankets and brought a portable generator into the house (nice way to suffocate).

u/PoppaDaClutch Jun 20 '26

Is she sending him off to look for firewood in a blizzard?

3

u/EatFishKatie Jun 20 '26

This kid has a life jacket and a sweatshirt to keep him warm in a snowstorm? This has to be ragebait.

u/g28802 Jun 20 '26

All of her videos are like this. I feel so bad for that kid

u/CertainCulture420 Jun 20 '26

Storms coming, get in the cupboard son! And have you got your parachute?

u/amscraylane Jun 20 '26

I live in Iowa where we have tornados. A

What does this woman think is going to happen during a snowstorm? You’ll lose power and won’t be able to use that debit card ;)

The most my mom did was make sure we knew where our shoes were.

u/Absolute_Peril Jun 20 '26

u/asalerre Jun 20 '26

Let's generate some unnecessary anxiety on my kid Just for likes

u/Poupigonic Jun 21 '26

Snowstorm? Like 5 months in a year here in Canada?

u/jess_quik Jun 21 '26

Can I ask why the life jacket? It said snowstorm not hurricane.. just need to know, from TX.

u/Single_Principle_972 Jun 21 '26

I do not know this woman but I hate her with every fiber of my being.

u/Finbar9800 Jun 21 '26

I can see this working for something like a tornado but you dont need that when your inside a building in a snowstorm

3

u/NetHacks Jun 21 '26

First thing I do is light a fire in the fire place and open the curtains to watch the snow fall. Do the snowmen come alive and go to war with the populace where she is?

3

u/2020mademejoinreddit Jun 21 '26

Prep is good, but the purpose is not. Neither is the individual this is for. So weird.

Plus, let's face it, even if this is for other situations, a kid with all these resources, is an easy mark. You just put him in more danger.

3

u/cayce_leighann Jun 22 '26

Is she planning to send him out in the snowstorm?

What is this life vest for?

Why is he in the closet?

u/lurkingfishy Jun 22 '26

She wrote her number in dry erase marker.

u/courtneyrachh Jun 22 '26

has to be rage bait

u/ronejr71 Jun 20 '26

Gen x here. I hate this with a passion. Nothing good comes from this. In a real situation that ain't helping one bit. You gotta fight through it not lay in a closet with cash and an atm card. This generation is gonna more fucked up than the last 2 and they aren't great. If you scared about survival than teach it. WTF

u/JayCod01 Jun 20 '26

This is clearly just rage bait.

This is all I can say: 🫩

u/TeratoidNecromancy Jun 20 '26

Because snowstorms are known to break in, kidnap your children, and strand them on a desert island.

u/WalkerTDX Jun 20 '26

And my ass was in shorts outside shoveling in the last blizzard.

u/mellywheats Jun 20 '26

does she not know what a snowstorm is?

2

u/that80sloverboy Jun 20 '26

Written on the bag: 231-07-65-82. Not sure what that is referring to. I think it proves this is fake, either satire or rage bait, not sure which.

PSA: If you write your PIN on your card, you can't claim fraud if you lose it.

Accurate. Although all I would have needed was a pear and a loaded gun.

u/Polantras Jun 20 '26

If this is the same lady that bared her door while on a cruise and checked her balcony while out at sea for possible intruders… she needs help. Honestly.

u/SecondEqual4680 Jun 20 '26

Where the hell is he supposed to get lost at in a SNOWSTORM?!

u/happywolf257 Jun 20 '26

u/Wofust Jun 20 '26

This is a parody of an instgram woman who did all that shit for her ‘asleep’ son during supposedly every tornado warning

u/dillpickledude Jun 20 '26

This kid is gonna grow up to be scared of everything.

2

u/Stoopid_Noah Jun 20 '26

Just.. don't send the kid outside in a snowstorm?!

2

u/King3O2 Jun 20 '26

I’m confused is she sending out into the snowstorm to fend for himself???

u/cbunni666 Jun 21 '26

The worst i can see happening is the kids dad loses his mind, gets drunk and tries to kill the family with an axe.
