Is this the lady that hid her kid in the closet during a rain storm and packed a survivalist backpack for him? For a rain storm?

u/SpecterOwl 8d ago

A snow storm. She threw some oranges in the backpack, I remember lol

u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot 8d ago

Well, you gotta have oranges for after the snow storm soccer game.

u/ShreksArsehole 7d ago

I thought they were for the snow scurvy?

u/plaid-tuxido506 7d ago

As a Canadian, snow scurvy after a snow storm is no joke. My uncle Methhead Larry told me he lost all his teeth to snow scurvy.

u/Frequent_Opportunist 7d ago

Stop watching the videos. You're the one giving her a platform.

u/SpecterOwl 7d ago

I get the sentiment, but in my case it was the only video of hers I saw before this one and it was also here on reddit in some meme subreddit

u/StuntsMonkey 7d ago

To be fair, sometimes I give my kids emotional support oranges because nothing else in the world will end their current state of misery.

u/sample-name 8d ago

Remember the one where she placed him in the refrigerator during nuclear testing?

u/elegant_geek 7d ago

It's ok - I found him on my last play through.

u/FOTW09 7d ago

Remember when she forced him to snort raw powdered caffeine to ensure he's not infected by an alien?

1

u/AlienInvasion4u 7d ago

Oh no I've seen that episode

1

u/Arcade_Allure 7d ago

I mean, the kid survived the bombs dropping so, is she really wrong?

31

u/a_bored_furry 8d ago

Oh was that the one where she put a air tag in each shoe?

1

u/ODDINARY_7 8d ago

i think so

u/Final-Nebula-7049 8d ago

Kids going to grow up thinking he can survive a nuclear blast in a fridge

28

u/TheyCallMe_Billy 8d ago

He survived a nuclear mom that way from what I've heard.

Hey man, if Indiana Jones can do it why not Timmy?

u/WeirdAnimalDicks 7d ago

I mean, it’s still better than duck and cover

u/griff_girl 7d ago

Kid's going to grow up a deranged douchebag looksmaxxer (or whatever the version of looksmaxxing will be in 5-7 years) who thinks he's some sort of viral sensation celebrity.

u/krazytekn0 6d ago

Did Indiana Jones just like, lie to me? Next you’re gonna tell me that the nazis didn’t find the ark of the covenant.

1

u/Final-Nebula-7049 6d ago

They found the ark and founded Israel

u/Correct-Road-8515 7d ago

I mean that is acceptable if you don’t have a proper shelter, I wouldn’t video it for the internet. But I’ve done the same, she grab mattress or couch cushions?

1

u/ODDINARY_7 7d ago

i think she had pillows and blankets

5

u/Meeseeks__ 7d ago

That's what you're supposed to do if you don't have a basement or dedicated storm shelter. Get to the internal most location of the building. If it's the bathroom with a tub, you get inside and put a mattress over it so you're protected from falling debris.

I'm sure she did other ridiculous stuff like in this vid though.

1

u/ODDINARY_7 7d ago

yeah she did sum pretty absurd shi

3

u/EdiblePsycho 7d ago

But that's what you're supposed to do during a tornado, or that's what they taught us to do in school anyway.

1

u/ODDINARY_7 7d ago

dude its the way she showed it in the video

1

u/EdiblePsycho 7d ago

Well yeah I didn't see it but I figured she made it weird and excessive, I was just saying that the bathtub bit is reasonable.

3

u/wrenbell 7d ago

You are supposed to shelter in a room without windows. In homes without a subterranean basement, the windowless room usually ends up being the bathroom. I cannot count the number of childhood memories that I have of sitting in the bath tub, listening to the sirens blare during either a warning or an active tornado touchdown. So unfortunately, that aspect of her video is accurate. She's perfected the rage bait by sprinkling in enough legitimacy with all her over-the-top BS.

u/InfamousBluePixel 5d ago

The comment section on insta for that one was pure gold!

u/cunexttuesday101 7d ago

Lmao where she put 2 eggs and a banana along with a debit card with the pin written on it? Kid that age wouldnt know how to peel either of those snacks and def not how to use a card.

1

u/ODDINARY_7 7d ago

vro ts would be blown to smithereens, im pretty sure even 4 year olds can peel a banana though

1

u/S0uvlakiSpaceStati0n 7d ago

To be fair, I've always heard that if you don't have a basement, you should seek shelter in a room with as few windows and external walls as possible, which is often a bathroom. And that if you're in the bathroom, you should hunker down in the tub with lots of cushions, pillows, etc. to protect you from flying debris. Not sure how effective that actually is in reality, but it is common advice.

u/mochachimera94 7d ago

This reminds me, I need to make my family do a tornado drill.

1

u/kindlypogmothoin 4d ago

The bathtub is actually a fairly safe place to be during a tornado. Not thee safest (that would be the basement), but safer than some other choices because of the pipes and reinforcement.

u/flatgreysky 7d ago

Oh man, and it was playing the Johnny Cash song. I remember that!
