How you going to become a Pokemon master if you don't accept the challenges?
- You can't become the very best if you are dead, now can you?
  
  Loser mindset, skill issue.
As a European, I find it insane to have an app that warns you about gunshots, like wtf
- Most of the reports are unfounded in these apps. The EFF wrote about them: https://sls.eff.org/technologies/community-surveillance-apps
- As a Chicago resident so do I. Just listen for the screams and shot reverberation off the nearby buildings. It doesn't take much practice to hone it down within 50yards or so. Don't need no app.
  
  I've been to Chicago once (visiting a family member), it's absolutely crazy. I could never even imagine living like that. Never before in my life have I been genuinely scared that if I left the house at night, I wouldn't come back alive.
- Also works by changing European by almost any nationality you wish
  
  True
- It's not like the app only does that. It warns you about all emergency alerts in your area. https://citizen.com/
  
  Yeah I know, but god damn just getting a notification about gunshots is fucking crazy
- As a gun-owning American, I agree with you.
- hey now it's just philly
- Is that specifically what it is? I thought it was just a news alert
- Not an app, but here in Germany we have a public warning system that broadcasts an alert to all phones in an area in case of catastrophic events. Happened twice in my city since I moved here two years ago. Once for a mass shooting, and once for an accident at a chemical plant.
  
  I know about cell broadcast, it's common in many countries. But where the fuck do you live that you get so many alerts?
Do you live in a war zone? Or just USA things?
- Nah, it's just acorn season
- Yes
If Ash Ketchum can brave a thunderstorm to save Pikachu while being chased by murderous Spearow, and can tank a well-timed lightning strike without dying, your lazy ass better get outside, catch some Pokes, and hatch some Eggs.
Tick-tock, Trainer. I thought you wanted to be the very best!
Did shooting at the tornado work?
to be fair, Pokemon was first
- Pokemon knew all those things will happen.
Pokemon Go To The Storm Bunker
But the tornado that's shooting people IS the rare Pokemon.
- Tornadus used hurricane
- Once you add 'shooting' I'm pretty sure it becomes a Digimon.
  
  Bullet seed would like a word with this sentiment
  
  Nevermind the turtle with cannons coming out of its shell.
Damn, did you emulate Pokemon red or smth?
When the hell did Philly have a tornado warning?
- ~~Climate change~~
  I read why, not when.
  Apparently May 6, 2024 @ 4:24 am.
  
  This was from 2 years ago by the looks of it (found a Reddit post of this from 2y ago, can't see the date on mobile though). It just was coincidental there was another one literally today too in the early morning hours.
  Also a tornado warning will never last that long (over 15 hours), it's generally 15 to 30 min and very location specific. It may be longer if there's a long chain of storms all showing signs of active circulation on the way through, but anything over an hour is pretty rare, even in tornado alley.
