Had the song It’s Raining Men stuck in my head. No idea why any songs pop into my head. Any, got me thinking. Would my home owners insurance cover the damages to my house? And what about the clean up?
Idk if Boeing keeps heading the way it’s going…
It would be terrifying if it were to actually start raining men.

They are just opening the doors to success the plane midflight

I think most homeowners insurance policies cover ‘acts of God’ aka phenomena that can’t be predicted and that would likely be covered under that.

I think most home owners insurance companies would, as usual, do their best to fuck over their customers in a way they think they can get away with (and they probably will, fuckers).

"We see here that you don’t have ‘The Weather Girls’ comprehensive coverage which does in fact cover raining men”

In the book series Red Rising, there’s a part where one army terrorizes a city by flying over it and dropping all the POWs it captured. Lots of them dropped from low orbit but high enough to take a bit to hit. The character that describes it suggests that the city looks like the windshield of a transport after driving through a bug swarm. It’s such a brutal and horrific description of the violence. In a book series that really does a good job at describing violent uprising, that part really painted a vivid scene in my head.

What if they’re tiny men though? Like a hail report but, “Today across the central plains, residents experienced golf ball sized man rain.”

man rain
That sounds like a completely different problem, with much worse cleanup 0.o

it starts raining male humans from the sky
Half the population hears It’s Raining Men by the Weather Girls the other half hear Bodies by Drowning Pool
dukethorion@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I picture the former as that they are gently and safely floating down to the earth, whereas the latter definitely matches the velocity at which rain actually falls.
Human bodies probably splash.

You know the sound right when it starts to rain?
There’s a tap on the roof or the window, then a few more, and you think “Oh, is that…?” and, sure enough, the taps continue, getting more and more frequent until they blend together into the soothing patter of rainfall. Now imagine that, but instead of light taps, it’s a dull “phomp.”
I imagine someone in an alternate universe hearing that first phomp, and running to grab a cup of tea before sitting by the window to watch the manfall.

Cloudy, with a chance of Man Balls.

A lot of idioms are not great if considered literally, tbf. “Raining cats and dogs”, “Break a leg”, letting someone “off the hook”, etc.

Are these spontaneously generated men or are they pre-existing dudes who got teleported into the sky?
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Just run of the mill spontaneously generated men. No crazy teleportation stuff. This ain’t Star Trek.

They’ll have enough time in their short lives to think “Welp, just my luck…”

Fun Fact: "It's Raining Men" was co-written by Paul Shaffer, best known as David Letterman's band leader.

I couldn’t imagine what it was like standing around the north tower on 9-11, around 200 people rained down that morning.
shadowSprite@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Shit, I’ll never forget being at home watching the towers burn on TV as a kid and seeing things falling from them and asking my mom what they were and hearing “those are people jumping rather than burn to death”. Horrifying. What a choice to make.

I’m sure the Firefighters have some serious nightmares
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Nightmares won’t kill them, but the mesothelioma has. Over 400 first responders were affected by illnesses due to 9/11, over 340 have died as a result. Politicians have been trying to fuck over the survivors and they can’t wait for the last one to die so they won’t have to deal with John Stewart raining hate on their miserable lives.
There are stories from survivors that mentions how they heard the bodies hit the ground without knowing what the noise was from. They looked around for the source and found out how grim a reality they were in.
FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The smell would become spectacularly awful after a week or so…
Tehhund@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The men are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!
MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They had a scene in Dune part 2 where it was raining men. It was quite upsetting.
dukethorion@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Leonidas made it rain.

I think there is a Junji Ito novel with people raining from the skies. It is, as expected, quite unpleasant.

G I loves this movie and I totally forgot! This is perfect.
paddirn@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’d go very quickly from “It’s Raining Men” to “Let the bodies hit the floor”.
TheHottub@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Lol. I want to see a short 15 minute serious horror drama movie about this happening. Having the song playing ironically as all hell breaks loose.
EssentialCoffee@midwest.social 6 months ago
Just watch video footage from 9/11 while the song it playing.
Jesus_666@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or an action movie with a fight scene aboard a transport airplane with people getting tossed out of the loading door. Cut to action on the ground with them impacting in sync with the music.
nailingjello@lemmy.zip 6 months ago
I figured those two songs were based on the same event.
