I’m just curious during thunderstorm, if anyone tried to fire a bullet during storm into clouds? Will the lightning strike the bullet? Mythbusters or someone else maybe did that ?

Both my comment (Obama gif) and the person you replied to were replying to someone that posted in the wrong thread. They have since deleted their comment, leaving our comments without a parent comment. Lemmy has now randomly assigned our comments to different parent comments. Actually kind of interesting.
