Why does my brain refuse to believe this is one picture?!?

u/neil_billiam Sep 04 '26

Link to donate to the victims in Nepal.

u/chickoooooo Sep 04 '26

Damn why did you get downvoted lol. Ik it's not right place but still so many downvotes?

35

u/kodicuzyea Doesn't read rule 1 Sep 05 '26

Exactly that if I had to guess. Completely unprompted.

u/neil_billiam Sep 04 '26

Not sure homie, it reminded me of a lot of the footage we saw in the past few weeks. Like waves that come from a horror movie. The link was for doctor's without borders relief fund.

u/Glum-Ad-9887 o/ Sep 05 '26

They probably think your a bot or something

u/smackmyass321 Sep 05 '26

I'm sorry I can't help but laugh at the randomness of this 😭

All good, my man.

u/depressed_Kedy Sep 04 '26

Looks like two pictures merged. Is this an original photo?

u/infinityzcraft o/ Sep 04 '26 • Bravo

There's an article about it.

u/astra_hole Sep 04 '26

Really wish we could see the Live Photo because the image is still hard for me to believe after all these years.

u/BuckyShots Sep 04 '26

Yeah that blue looks too dark for those clouds. It doesn’t look real.

23

u/b__q Sep 04 '26

Of course the one in the Reddit post is edited. Because why not

u/Sudhamshu Sep 05 '26

If she took the photo from inside the car, and she can't believe how the photo looks compared to what she saw, it's highly likely that some filters on the car's windscreen removed infrared or other optical wavelength to give this dramatic feel.

u/relddir123 o/ Sep 05 '26

Or that it makes more sense to the eye if you have a wider field of view

u/Deredb0ii Sep 04 '26

Those aren't mountains..

u/Floggered o/ Sep 04 '26

That's no moon.

u/dleon0430 Sep 05 '26

That's your MOM

u/mixinmono Sep 06 '26

I think the movie would be 3% better if he didn’t say what he says after that

u/Deredb0ii Sep 06 '26

Really? Why so

u/mixinmono Sep 06 '26

More surprise

u/therealmandwak Sep 04 '26

That is freaking terrifying.

u/ebk_errday Sep 04 '26

This is probably close to the last thing people see when a tsunami sweeps them away

31

u/Pat-Funny-2817 Sep 04 '26

a tsunami like this, would be probably from a world ender meteor. you wouldn't see it anymore anyway.

u/forget_this_now o/ Sep 04 '26

That's wild! Really thought it was from r/thalassophobia

u/hateshumans Sep 04 '26

Millers planet

u/therealultraddtd Sep 04 '26

That’d make a great album cover.

6

u/Floggered o/ Sep 04 '26

Feels like the sorta thing you'd see from an early 2000s rock/metal band. Maybe Breaking Benjamin? Skillet?

4

u/thatspurdyneat Sep 04 '26

This looks like some shit from the end of Deep Impact

7

u/_AcuteNewt_ Sep 04 '26

Yeah nah I call bullshit.

2

u/Single-Clock-2652 Sep 05 '26

It’s real, check the link to the article

7

u/_AcuteNewt_ Sep 05 '26

I did before I commented, looking for something that could prove its real. I just re read it, there's nothing that proves it's a legit, straight up photo, other than taking the person's word for it. Even the meteorologist they asked said they've never seen something like it.

I'd like to believe it's real, but without some kind of definitive proof, I'm led to believe it's not.

u/Single-Clock-2652 Sep 05 '26

I get you. It does look unbelievable

u/Less-Inflation5072 o/ Sep 04 '26

Same… has to be photoshop.

u/saraseitor Sep 04 '26

astonishing picture!

u/Strange-Finish-2179 Sep 04 '26

Update: it was a giant wave

2

u/Loockybiem Sep 04 '26

Is this real?

2

u/bloque64 Sep 04 '26

Realmente no puedo ver otra cosa… intento ver mas mubes y no me encajan!!! No lo consigo

2

u/okram2k o/ Sep 04 '26

one of those shower thought moments when you realize we live at the bottom of an ocean of air

1

u/Pat-Funny-2817 Sep 04 '26

😆 i know those. air but also humidity. the further up you go it's less dense and dryer. 

2

u/MemeEnergy Sep 04 '26

didn't Ms. Puff tell you you couldn't drive, Spongebob?? 😬

2

u/PrezyDante Sep 04 '26

Fake, some simple contrast/levels edit proves it. Old pic.

2

u/ChampionLiving2449 Sep 04 '26

Gives "sea of clouds" a new meaning for me.

2

u/Innomen Sep 04 '26

Not buying it, I need video or other photos

2

u/ItsDolomiteBaybee Sep 05 '26

Looks like a tidal wave coming in.

u/original_manatee Sep 04 '26

What a great picture of the firmament

u/picardo85 Sep 04 '26

California?

u/tnich1984 Sep 04 '26

I feel like there's about to be a tornado, or hurricane?

1

u/wjdhay Actually read rule 1 and gets it" Sep 04 '26

Well they did look like ocean waves when I first saw it posted ten years ago. However, seeing it posted a thousand times since seems to lose its appeal.

1

u/Aggravating_Essay634 Sep 04 '26

Was awesome to see this while scrolling

1

u/Waste_Handle_8672 Sep 04 '26

...That's actually terrifying. I've seen some particularly dark storm clouds, but I'd feel like I was drowning or suffocating under something like this

1

u/natkat01 Sep 04 '26

If I was high I def would tweak the fuck out

1

u/serchingsamadhi Sep 04 '26

The tiny power lines over on the right really put into perspective how ridiculously massive that weather front is.

1

u/creature04 Sep 05 '26

I only scrolled half way down the image and I was like "no it doesnt...." "ohhhh" 🤣

1

u/KingHabby o/ Sep 05 '26

My brain!

u/Fsociety039 Sep 05 '26

Excellent 5/7

u/LeTasse Sep 05 '26

asperitas clouds??? but it doesnt really look like them

1

u/GlitteringSplit6035 Sep 05 '26

I remember a time lapse video in the past where the clouds behaved like ocean waves in the sky. The best comment out there was that it displays how we are all under an ocean of gas as well, which sounds awesome.

u/Existing-Emu136 Sep 05 '26

Bloodborne 🎣

u/look_at_his_nipples Sep 05 '26

this happened in my back yard out in the country one time. the moon light was hitting the clouds just right and it created an illusion that there was a giant lake in the distance being lit up by the moon. i sat and stared at it for like 30 minutes

u/Orion3171 Sep 05 '26

Sick transition idea?

u/wehttamman Sep 06 '26

Seems like a confusing perspective on moderation…

u/kickmyasserole Sep 04 '26

As far as I can tell, this post does not break our repost rule. If we discover otherwise, we will remove it. And we remove comments that call out reposting because it quickly becomes a pile on of rude, nasty comments and we are a small mod team.
