'Old Weather Pics' is a Twitter account that, as the name suggests, takes you back in time with vintage photographs of weather phenomena.
From stunning lightning strikes to powerful snowstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, the account has plenty of reasons to remind everyone why we appreciate the power of nature.
It was created in 2014 and seems to have stopped posting in 2021. Still, during those seven years, it shared plenty of interesting and rarely seen images, so we decided to commemorate the work that went into this interesting little online project by presenting to you, dear Pandas, their uploads that we enjoyed the most.

Scientific studies indicate that many of the extreme weather events you see in these pictures are likely to become more frequent or more intense with human-induced climate change.
Long-term changes in climate can directly or indirectly affect many aspects of society in potentially disruptive ways. For instance, warmer average temperatures could increase air conditioning costs and affect the spread of diseases, and while increased precipitation can replenish water supplies and support agriculture, intense storms can damage property, cause loss of life and population displacement, and temporarily disrupt essential services such as transportation, telecommunications, and energy.

In the US, average temperatures have risen across the contiguous 48 states since 1901, with an increased rate of warming over the past 30 years.
Nine of the top ten warmest years on record have occurred since 1998. Average global temperatures show a similar trend, and all of the top 10 warmest years on record worldwide have occurred since 2005. Within the United States, temperatures in parts of the North, the West, and Alaska have increased the most.

As the Earth warms overall, average temperatures increase throughout the year, but the increases may be larger in certain seasons than in others.
Since 1896, average winter temperatures across the contiguous 48 states have increased by nearly 3°F. Spring temperatures have increased by about 2°F, while summer and fall temperatures have increased by about 1.5°F.

Many extreme temperature conditions are becoming more frequent. Since the 1970s, unusually hot summer days (highs) in the US have become more common over the last few decades. Unusually hot summer nights (lows) have become more common at an even faster rate.
This trend indicates less "cooling off" at night and although the country has experienced many winters with unusually low temperatures, unusually cold winter temperatures have become less common—particularly very cold nights (lows).

Heat waves are occurring three times more often than they did in the 1960s—about 6 per year compared with 2 per year.
The average heat wave season is 49 days longer, and individual heat waves are lasting longer and becoming more intense.

A new report by top climate scientists and meteorologists describes how climate change drove unprecedented heat waves, floods, and droughts in recent years — the annual report from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) compiles the leading science about the role of climate change in extreme weather.
"It's a reminder that the risk of extreme events is growing, and they're affecting every corner of the world," Sarah Kapnick, the chief scientist at the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), told NPR.

The connection between climate change and heat waves is particularly well-understood and documented because rising temperatures are relatively simple to measure and predict.
Other types of weather are more complex. Climate change affects hurricanes, for instance, in many ways (from changing the temperature of the air and the water to potentially affecting wind patterns and ocean currents), so scientists tend to focus on individual effects of a storm, such as coastal flooding and sea level rise, or inland flooding from abnormally heavy rain.

Understanding how climate change will affect extreme weather in the future, and how common these types of disasters will become as the Earth continues to heat up, is crucial for elected officials and business leaders — such research can inform decision-makers and allow them to prioritize which issues to act on first.

Committing to a relationship with someone means you're putting your heart into their hands and letting them decide what to do with it. If you're lucky, they will nurture it and the two of you will form a connection like no other. But they might break it, too. Which is why the people we love the most are the ones that can make us the maddest, too.
A breakup or divorce can be one of the most stressful and emotional experiences in our lives. The (abrupt) end of a relationship can turn our whole world upside down and trigger all sorts of painful and unsettling emotions. Like a burning desire for revenge.
We at Bored Panda compiled a list of vivid examples to show you what things lovers are capable of if their (ex) partners hurt them badly enough. They may not guarantee a path toward a healthy recovery, but everyone has their own way of coping.

#1 This Break Up Letter
To get a better understanding of these actions and the feelings that caused them, we contacted psychotherapist, writer, and consultant, Kaytee Gillis.
"Stories of people getting revenge for feeling betrayed or wronged in relationships fill movie scripts, and the behaviors are even encouraged and laughed at in many social groups," Gillis, who has a deep passion for helping survivors of traumatic relationships — whether familial or romantic — told Bored Panda.
"One famous song even boasts lyrics about smashing headlights and slicing someone's tires for cheating. Although music is an expressive art form [and it is] most likely not a true story, it shines a light on behaviors that many excuse. And while it might be normal to want to get revenge over being wronged, actually taking action to do that can quickly turn into unhealthy behaviors, or even abuse."

Gillis, the author of It's Not "High Conflict" It's Post-Separation Abuse, thinks that being hurt after the ending of a relationship is normal.
"If the person wronged you somehow, such as breaking your heart, ghosting you or cheating, it can [even] feel devastating," she said.
"But when pain and anger turn into behaviors that put another person's safety or livelihood at risk, this is abusive and is never a good way to cope with the pain of a breakup."

The psychotherapist said that destroying property, spreading rumors as an attempt to harm or discredit someone, keeping the children away from them, or boasting about getting them fired from their job are all common ways that people try to get revenge on an ex.
"However, this form of revenge is what mental health clinicians refer to as post-separation abuse, or abuse that takes place after a relationship ends. Revenge is abusive, and putting someone's safety at risk is never okay, and it is never funny," Gillis emphasized.

Knowing how to break up could possibly remedy some of the emotions that lead to the extreme lengths that Gillis has mentioned. And while it's not easy for anyone to be good at it, teens are particularly bad at ending things, and growing up online has made it worse.
Though most teens think the best way to break up is in person, 37 percent of them consider a text breakup at least moderately acceptable and 1 in 4 thinks it's okay to do the job by simply changing your social media status to "single."
That's according to a Pew Research Center report that came out in 2015, five years before the pandemic sent everyone's social lives, and so much else, even further into cyberspace.

So if there’s anything you can do to cut down on the time you spend vacuuming, mopping and scrubbing, you’ll probably be happy to start doing it.
Well, you’re in luck, pandas. Redditors have been sharing their most brilliant lazy cleaning hacks, so we’ve compiled a list of them below.

I put aluminum foil on shelves in my fridge that hold meat and or things that could leak.
Also, i stopped using the word lazy because, let’s be real, we aren’t lazy. We have limited capacity and energy. That isn’t laziness.

I’m a guy. I sit when I pee. Standing to pee makes everything on and around the toilet absolute disgusting. Might as well just pee directly on the walls and floor.

I've been cleaning during those commercials you can't skip. You can't get all that much done in two minutes but if you binge watch as much as me then it ads up. Also increases overall activity.

Trash can in every room .

I keep a spray bottle filled with vinegar and dish soap in my shower. I spray the surfaces about 2-3 times per week.
Spray then rinse.
This keeps the soap scum/shower funk to a minimum so that an actual cleaning is only needed about 3-4 times per year.

I have dish soap in the shower. On days when I'm deep conditioning my hair, I wash the walls off with dishsoap and rinse with the shower head. When the shower is turned off, I squeegee the walls and tub to help remove soap scum from the walls. Only time it gets deep cleaned is when our cleaner comes once a month. The dish soap works great to help breakdown soap scum and I have silky hair.

Newspaper covers the tops of all my cupboards (the space between ceiling and cupboard) I change them out 2 or 3 times a year. It captures all the dust and grease, it then gets used as fireststarter paper.
If my mirror in the bathroom has spots i flick water on it and wipe it down instead of using glass cleaner.

If I need to clean out my fridge before leaving for a trip and I'm short on time, I just throw everything in my freezer and then toss it when I get back.
I also keep my organic waste bin in the freezer, too.

My bf and I share a car and when I have to wait in the Dunkin drive thru in the morning for more that 5 min I take out a cleaning wipe and wipe the inside interior down. It makes me feel so productive lol.

Bucket of dish soap and one of those big car washing mitts to clean the patio and porch furniture. Works great, easiest method I've found.

Installed a water softener. I haven’t cleaned limescale on anything for 2 years 🙌🏼 we have hard water and not having to scrub 3 toilets, faucets, descale kettles or deal with those stupid hard water dots on counters made it the best thing I ever bought.

I have a “just spray, don’t rinse” shower cleaner that I use every time I shower and here’s the hack: I choose to believe it (lol).
#26
I moved cross country and my old furniture was very old, so I didn’t bring much. What I purchased here was spot with intent. I didn’t just fall in love with something and had to have it. It had to have legs and some height. First off I believe having legs on furniture makes your house look a little larger and this house is small so it needed that. Part two of this is, I run my Roomba daily. The Roomba can go under all of my furniture which eliminates me having to move furniture and vacuum under things. I still have to vacuum the upholstery, and I actually use the vacuum to clean out the Roomba cup and filter. Doing that actually makes the replaceable paper filter last longer.
#27
I hand wash dishes. I hate using Sponges. I bought a ton of Swedish dish towels and cut them up in smaller pieces. I use those to hand wash dishes and toss the cloth in the hamper.I get a new “sponge” every wash and being eco friendly.
#28
I started putting table cloths on the kitchen table so I can just pick it up and wash it. I have 3 that I rotate throughout the week.
#29
Steam cleaning the floors is 500x better than mopping and half the effort.
#30
If I wear compression garments the clothes I wear over them go back on hangers and back into my closet…provided I don’t spill anything on them during the day.

I put a rag on a swiffer and spray the floor with a diluted floor cleaning solution to dust mop. I don't do a proper mopping as often as I would like with a bucket and mop. But doing this after vacuuming/sweeping gets the floors clean enough.
#32
To keep clutter at bay, use decorative boxes and containers to keep things in.

After I shower I rinse my washcloth as much as possible and use it to clean the edge of my tub that gets super dusty from our forced air system, the sink, and the top of the toilet before throwing it in the hamper. This helps tide me over between weekly deep cleans.
#35
Dishwashing liquid works for basically everything in the bathroom because it's designed for glass, ceramic, plastic and metals. Works well with either a sponge scourer or steam cleaner.
I've also seen people use Dishwashing liquid as loo cleaner.....

I use a leaf blower instead of a vacuum on the inside of my car. Open all the doors and let ‘er rip. Fast and kinda fun.

I use the Dustbuster to vacuum crumbs out of my toaster oven/air fryer. I wash the tray/racks where the food actually touches, of course.

I don’t own a mop so when I want to “mop the floor” I just toss a few disinfectant wipes on the floor and move it around with my foot while wearing shoes.

#39
I have a little tricks like I always sprinkle baking soda in my trash cans to absorb the smells when they’ve done their job. I just take them outside hose out. Let it dry and start over. Or the only use I actually have for a swiffer mop is to put a wet cover on it. That way I can clean the top corners of my walls easily. For some reason, they just seem to push dirt around on the floor, but dear Lord, they will actually help you scrub your walls down and get gas heat stains off. And don’t get me started on the fact that at any given point, I have Clorox wipes in at least three rooms in my home for easy access.
#40
After I use a face wipe to remove make up, I drape it over a bottle instead of throwing it away. I wash my hair every day and I use it to pick up hair in the sink. If I don’t have one, I take a some TP, use it to clean the vanity then use it to clean hair off.
I also keep my hand held vac hidden by the bathroom wall, and do a quick swipe to clean hair off the floor.
#41
Toilet bowl cling bleach in the shower. Put it in all those grimy corners, let it slowly run down the walls, come back and wash it all away later.
#42
My friend used to professionally clean houses and occasionally he would ask me to help this was back when I was in my 20s like 1 million years ago. Sometimes when we were in a hurry rather than properly mop the floors. We would just get a bunch of window cleaner and spray it on the floors and then get some towels and then scoot around the floors. They shined right up. Looked great, we would always get compliments how shiny the floors were lol.
#43
I keep a dish wand full of dawn and vinegar in my tub. Like twice a week in the shower I wipe it down while waiting on my hair conditioner.
#44
I clean my cats’ litter boxes with my Clorox toilet wand. Exteriors get wiped down with some cleaning wipes, add a little hot water to get the wand head wet, scrub and rinse a few times (down the toilet), give the bowl a quick scrub, and eject the sponge into the garbage can. I put a rag towel down under the litter box before I start that I use to dry the boxes.
I’ve tried many different methods over the years and this one is fastest, requires least effort and is least gross. I feel some shame for not using Dawn with a brush because it’s pet safe (and perhaps should feel shame for being wasteful). I’m too busy enjoying my toilet brush-free life to care.
#45
Instead of a regular kitchen sponge, use a silicone one. Also I use one in the shower. Basically never have to replace!
#46
When our children were young and the doorbell would ring, the whole room would erupt and all of us would grab toys, cushions etc from the floor and everything would be thrown behind the sofa lol. Within half a minute the room was "tidy" haha just a lot of mess to sort later, but visitors never knew.
#47
Idk if it’s lazy but it’s a hack: I use little scented baby diaper bags to throw away scooped cat litter and I also use them to get rid of toilet scrubber pads when I do all the toilets one after the other.
#48
I don't sweep. I have pets and a sandy patch in my yard so the dogs track in a lot of sand. I have a shop vac and vacuum once a week.
#49
When the kitchen is chaotic after cooking. I will vacuum the countertops and stove with the hose extensions and then continue with the floor. Then, wiping down everything and sweeping/mopping is more manageable without the excessive crumbs flying everywhere and sticking to the towels.
