🌈 A once-in-a-lifetime rainbow storm over rural Oregon, USA πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

What you’re seeing isn’t edited or painted β€” this surreal display of multiple repeating rainbows appeared as sunlight hit layers of rain and mist at just the right angles.

The result? A rare atmospheric spectacle arching over the fields and forests like nature’s own cathedral of light.

I'd imagine this is the type of imagery and visceral experience that could manifest myth and religion.

Probably since it is impossible.

Interesting, guess I've been fooled then πŸ˜…

Though i will push back - the capacity for such experiences is still exists. I've definitely had quite cathartic, ecstatic experiences just sitting at a beach or the prime times of day X weather where you can see and feel crepuscular rays.

I am not saying that sublime transformative experiences don't exist. I am saying the OP is a big fat liar. There is enough cool stuff in heaven and and earth to hold us in awe for eternity without resorting to lies.

I am forever trying to figure out what we want technology to be. We can use it to expand our capabilities, or to replace them, or to tell ourselves lies. VR is a good thought experiment. Can it make us more human? Are 3 dimensions really a worse use of our time than 2?

Maybe we should all skip our phones into the sea and take in the crepuscular light instead.

It’s okay to live in the lie we choose to believe πŸ˜‚πŸ«‚πŸ₯³πŸ˜œπŸ€ŸπŸ»

I suppose you could get rainbows that overlap on tatooine.

I think it would take a very unusual multiple-star system to produce that particular result... πŸ€”πŸ§πŸ€£

Beautiful

So.. Oregon has multiple suns in orbit?
