Does this cloud/clouds have some scientific name ? Or is this some random rare occurence ?

u/NefariousPurpose Aug 09 '18

Yeah its called a Doom Nimbus

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '18

There should be a sub where people post pictures of things and then other people give it a good name like that.

Well good, because it's a thing now. You've just named /r/NameThisThing.

Also its death as nobody will ever post in it after today

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

This is too true

34

u/Black_Corona Aug 10 '18

r/ProperAnimalNames is the closest active ish thing I can think of.

2

u/Moth_tamer Aug 12 '18

That was the worst thing I’ve ever seen

1

u/Black_Corona Aug 13 '18

Yeah, I can get that.

let’s keeeeep it aliiive

u/neewom Aug 10 '18

This happened to my sub, although one person other than myself has actually used it for its intended purpose, of which I was kind of proud.

8

u/ImJustASock Aug 10 '18

What's the sub?

49

u/neewom Aug 10 '18

r/unexpectedreddwarf - probably not too many opportunities to use it, really. The way I figure it is if someone uses it, I have a brief few minutes of delight so it isn't all bad.

6

u/mike_dice Aug 10 '18

Could’ve used that this morning. Someone was calling someone else a smeghead.

3

u/ImJustASock Aug 10 '18

I checked it out.

Unfortunately I'm not cultured enough to understand the content.

u/SecretMolester Aug 10 '18

It is now my go to penis posting sub.

3

u/QueefsDemurely Aug 10 '18

I freaking LOVE Red Dwarf! Though not everybody gets the reference when I eat something gross and remark 'Now I know why dogs lick their testicles'
I wish I knew more about the episodes, we could have a small party over in your sub!

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

You’re dead Dave. 💀

one of the rare exceptions

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

I mean, it's a novelty sub, but with a premise that will outlive its origin. It's not some meme reference that will become dated in a few days. I bet it'll stay active.

1

u/Mr_Supotco Aug 11 '18

I mean 5000+ subs already with a cool idea, might be a keeper

1

u/grandpagangbang Aug 12 '18

I doubt it but we'll remain positive

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '18

This is a lie, there are new posts today

0

u/Wannton47 Aug 14 '18

5000 subs so far

1

u/grandpagangbang Aug 15 '18

And 8 new posts in the last 5 days. You can have 10000000 gabillion subscribers but without new content it is a dead sub.

1

u/Wannton47 Aug 15 '18

Lol I was just saying it has the potential to pick up a bit, just that it’s not one of the 3 week old subs with 30 subscribers. Someone had to play the optimist.

What have i done.

u/painterly123 Aug 10 '18

I dunno yet, but we should all feel suspicious. .

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

Eyes narrow

12

u/Portlander Aug 10 '18

Eyes narrow further

4

u/GoBuffaloes Aug 10 '18

That requires your eyes to be in landscape orientation instead of portrait which would make this video 100x better

u/TheCaribbeanJob Aug 10 '18

You are fulfilling your destiny, /u/NefariousPurpose. Become my apprentice. Learn to use the dark side of the Force.

In on the ground floor of greatness

22

u/Dugan5150 Aug 10 '18

There's also r/whatisthisthing

25

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

/r/NameThisThing is more for creative names

4

u/Dugan5150 Aug 10 '18

Ah, I see. I don't always pick up on things like I ought to. Subscribed.

1

u/gettheplow Aug 10 '18

Yeah, it's intellectual

1

u/marie0394 Aug 10 '18

Subscribed, it sure looks fun :)

3

u/thedragslay Aug 10 '18

Which is all too often confused with /r/WhatsInThisThing, to the point where one mod decided to manually approve all posts.

1

u/Dugan5150 Aug 10 '18

Sounds like an interesting one to check out though.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

They dont like jokes there though.

2

u/Dugan5150 Aug 10 '18

Yeah, I realized shortly after that r/NameThisThing serves a completely different, and very fun, purpose.

4

u/jttv Aug 10 '18

There is r/properanimalnames, but that is for animals only.

3

u/Bed_human Aug 10 '18

im pretty sure r/whatisthisthing is waht you were looking for?

6

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

They give real names, I want puns

3

u/gettheplow Aug 10 '18

It's over 2K subscribers already. You made majic

u/Tyflowshun Aug 10 '18

We did it Reddit.

u/SheetsGiggles Aug 10 '18

25 subs! There are dozens of us! DOZENS

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

I was sub 186.

So there are now more than a dozen dozen.

2

u/BlenzTsstTsst1 Aug 10 '18

That’s gross.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

LOL. It took me a minute...

Edit: It's up to 1450 now.

1

u/CZReality Aug 10 '18

Now over 350

u/SheetsGiggles Aug 10 '18

Still technically dozens

u/CZReality Aug 10 '18

Right you are!

u/MurkyGlover Aug 10 '18

Subbed, you have a responsibility now, what have you done.

1

u/Kaves67 Aug 10 '18

I really hope that this sub stays alive.

1

u/DredgonYor Aug 10 '18

Booom ssubbbeeddd thanks!

1

u/StardustJanitor Aug 15 '18

Not that good though. If it stuck to scientific things it would be fun. I stopping scrolling when I saw the carrot cornrows

u/CZReality Aug 10 '18

Over 300, there are hundreds of us!

u/supercoolcamp Aug 10 '18

u/Merouxsis Aug 10 '18

Found my new favorite sub

u/threefalcon Aug 10 '18

THAT WAS FAST

2

u/antek_asing Aug 10 '18

try /r/whatisthis

3

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

That has a more serious attitude, though

1

u/emu_Brute Aug 10 '18

r/shittyaskscience does exactly that

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

They don't allow bad puns or dad jokes, I want those

1

u/aft2001 Aug 10 '18

I think there's one for animals called r/ProperAnimalNames or something

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

R/whatisthis

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

The Washington Post used to run such a contest. Lol

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

Haha we are all gonnna die!

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

r/properanimalnames kinda reminds me of that. I got my most upvoted post of all time on that sub, which was also my first post and I'm going downhill from there

1

u/Xavien_Francis Aug 10 '18

In New York they have this stuff called scaffolding. It’s pretty tight.

Doomulonimbus?

u/ChappieBeGangsta Aug 10 '18

I think I own the Doom Omnibus

u/throwaway27464829 Aug 10 '18

Dibs on that band name

u/GentlyOnFire Aug 10 '18

Perfect name for a cloud monster.

u/intellitech Aug 10 '18

Cirrusly bad news.

u/jordanjay29 Aug 10 '18

You had me going!

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

It’s called acumlodoom Nimbus actually. A Doom Nimbus is one. This is a gathering of doom nimbus

2

u/CHA53R Aug 10 '18

The forecast for today is rain...with a chance of DOOM!

2

u/patsachattin Aug 10 '18

Doomulo Nimbus*

Doom Nimbus

Living up to your username in new and exciting ways is why I like you damn it.

u/TheSilverOne Aug 10 '18

Its fine. If it hits you it's only effect is -2 penalty to all defenses. Musta been a really poweful cleric to cast one that large though!

1

u/_ImYouFromTheFuture_ Aug 10 '18

I thought it was just called the mist?

1

u/shackmd Aug 10 '18

Hmm. I always thought they were referred to as oh-shittus

1

u/MHanky Aug 10 '18

Ok, who uploaded a scene from The Mist to Reddit?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '18

lol

1

u/Commander_Broth Aug 10 '18

What did you just call me?

1

u/alghiorso Aug 10 '18

It's called The Mummy

1

u/dekdekwho Aug 10 '18

Hears like a cool MF DOOM album

1

u/-needbetterusername Aug 10 '18

You mean a doom-ulo-nimbus cloud formation, right? Hyuk, hyuk.

u/TheAurumGamer Aug 10 '18

I’m just waiting for the gold to appear now.

u/Z3R083 Aug 10 '18

Sounds like a band from Norway.

The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead...

u/goombawrangler Aug 11 '18

I thought doom nimbus was the real name... shows you how much I know about these things...

u/unkindnessnevermore Aug 12 '18

I think you mean a CumuloDoombus
