A nondescript man says to the audience “the best thing we ever did for our town is putting someone with a storm fetish in our emergency alert center”

Sat at a desk, wearing a headset and reading from a monitor, a character whispers to themselves “oh fuck a storm”

They begin quivering and biting their lip. “Category 5!?”

Outside, a speaker blares “uuuuuuuuuuuooooooh” in the storm fetishist’s voice.

    I’ve heard this idea before, but it was related to plumbing, but it could feasibly be anything a person could hyperfixate on. You’ve got people in this world that find the most boring, mundane, and sometimes straight-up bad tasks the most riveting thing they’ll ever experience. Instead of nurturing that with training and a job, the square peg gets shaved down enough to fit in the round hole.

      I saw the trailers of Twisters and thought “eh, another 2020s movie. Plus I haven’t seen the first one yet. Looks Men at best”

      Then I cought the 2nd movie on TV. Actually pretty cool. Liked it even though I haven’t seen the first one yet

        Sorry, tend to forget about this app. It’s actually a really cool city! Lived there growing up and I miss it. Really cool science center, or was when I was young. One of the most picturesque cities, especially night time, coming out of one of the tunnels. Beautiful.
