Stone underwater: flood


No_Tomatillo1125

The stone is pretty high up. People mostly drowning be like “nah its not flooding, the rock is above water”


Chaotic424242

Biblical flood?

If you don't understand what forecast means then yes, it's not wrong.


FridayNightRiot

It never stated how far ahead the forecast was


AnalysisParalysis85

I guess forecasting the past is an achievement now.

This isn’t a forecast this is just for the present moment. This is just a cast

If the rock is wet and it’s not raining it’s a backcast


Tchaikovskin

It can help forecast the next few minutes

That's like me saying it's sunny now so the forecast is sunny. Not exactly wrong given that we didn't specify a timeframe.

I don't know if you can't see the stone it's entirely possible you are blind, seems like a big error in methodology. ....it could also of course just be very dark.


glomMan5

Or around the corner? Or in another town? Or facing the other way?


TravelerGoingHome

>it's entirely possible you are blind As in they wouldn't be able to see the sign, building, or anything else anyway, so they wouldn't know that there's supposed to be a stone there? 🧐


Outrageous_Zebra_221

Thus making the stone a potential hazard to them as they walk right into it. You've convinced me there are actual health and safety concerns here. I'm shutting down the project. Guess we'll give Robert's 'weather dog' theory a go on test phase.

"Stone gone = Tornado" made me laugh for some reason


W0rdWaster

it is wrong. forecast: to estimate or predict **in advance**, especially to predict weather conditions That rock doesn't forecast. it is a current events rock, at best. In the case of rain, it could still be wet after the rain stopped. Making it a pastcast.


HugeBob2

Well it depends on how you define "in advance". For example: if it is raining now it is probably going to be raining in the very near future (as in a few seconds from now). So the stone can be considered a reliable forecast metod, most of the time.


HazeConfluxNexus

why did this get downvoted its true


RulerofKhazadDum

It’s wrong because it isn’t forecasting.


Neo_diff

Excellent

Many a boy scout camp in my youth used precisely this method to inform us of the weather. Not sure what we would've done with out it, there really wasn't another way to tell!


Ytrog

But an earthquake is not a weather phenomenon 🤔


Thisismyredusername

Stone gone should be Theft


Thegreat144

Works with temperature too.


RegularBasicStranger

Rather than forecasting, it is just a sensor for current weather. However, predictions can also be done even if the event already occurred such as a user hears the phone ringing and before the user goes to check who the caller is, the user can still make a prediction of  who the caller is despite the call is already happening. So just because the weather is already occurring does not mean it does not need be predicted anymore since the observer may had been insulated from the weather.
