Everyday anomalies

In MR’s case fake or not, it would be a waste of time talking to the confessed mystic, open to believe what you see then move on to look at something else before your brain checks-in.
I didn’t really bother to look over MR’s clip, but it was MR’s description " Icicle defies gravity", which sent me looking for something I knew that appears to fit that description.
Ice Spikes. This is the best (prettiest ) one I’ve seen on the web so far:

Ps MR’s link is now showing something different. ( For me anyway).

Yes, ice spikes are a real thing. I can - and have - produced them in my freezer in an ice cube tray.

That is not what is in MR's post.

Ice spikes grow up.

Yes it's just an icicle, probably made specially long by water dribbling down a piece of fine fishing line, or a hair or something, overnight - if it is not faked up in the video. But analysing YouTube videos is rather a waste of everyone's time.

We're seeing the same thing, right? It's not that it's long, it's that it's got breaks in it.

True.

 

It's a lot longer than the others round it. But that could be achieved easily in the cold if there is a hair or line down which water can drip.

 

It does have visible gaps in it. Easily explainable if it is frozen around a hair and bits have broken off.

 

Why would the ice accumulate around one segment of the hair but not the other? The icicle should be uniform thruout if it was a hair. Also it is unlikely that a mere hair could support such weight.

 

Exactly.

 

Or fishing line, which can easily support a largemouth bass.

The internet is rife with privately made and uploaded bids for likes.

 

Her commentary is priceless...

That's a facebook reel. I don't believe they can be shared publicly.

 

Never had a problem posting facebook reels before. Here's an example:

In any case the video appears to have vanished..It was a girl's funny reaction to the explosion of a spaceX rocket in the sky in all likelihood.

 

Stunning capture of a meteorite in Argentina..

Are we to just guess what's under that link? You've been around long enough to know better.

 

Spare yourself any guesswork by simply clicking on the link..

 

How considerate of you.

Last link you posted was busted so since I have to guess, my guess is that this one will be too.

 

Interesting bolide. It often seems like one of that magnitude ought to be a good-sized rock, but not necessarily the case, I guess.

EDIT: Returning to it, the video isn't showing this time around. Capricious FB.

EDIT: Third time, it is working again. (Maybe I just didn't wait long enough the second time.)

Go ahead. Take a chance. Live life on the edge!

 

You've really got nothing better to do than to threaten me with infractions? Get a life troll..
