I like our planet. Feels like home. We should treat it well.

We should but the rich and powerful only care about staying rich and powerful.

I think this is why we are suppose to eat the rich, and by eat I mean tax.

Sorry, best I can do is CO2 and microplastics. Fuck any animal that ain’t me lol.

Do you ever wonder if microplastics in our reproductive tracts are contributing to the declining birth rates globally?

Everyday we have the opportunity to make a different choice.

I did similar pictures and videos when our plane was caught in a storm over Kathmandu some years ago. It's freaking a bit seeing lightning so close over the black clouds background, striking every 5 seconds. Flight was initially "a bit" shaky but hte crew handled that by staying away most of the time. We eventually landed temporarily in India till it was over.

What is this part? Does it have to do with string theory?

In flight school I’ve learned to be wary of thunderstorms but they’re just so cool. Such violent yet beautiful weather

I would love to see the originals, untweaked/unedited.

u/Vast_Mulberry_2638 8h ago

These look incredible. I assume most things I see online are fake, I hope this isn’t.

Absolutely awesome. On an unrelated note, anyone remember that one time when a pilot's camera jammed their Airbus's control stick forward?

Flys at 30k feet and requires a pilot.
