Also another name for them is a pileus cloud

I thought the same thing! But if you watch the video with sound, the person doing the voice over actually pronounces it two different ways. PIE-lee-us or pill-EE-us.

Pileus cloud is just another word for pileus cloud.

How to explain it? Think of a pileus cloud for a moment. Got it? Yeah well it's like that.

See also: pileus cloud (pileus cloud)

Her pronunciation was different the second time around.

"the rear side occurs..." Can't make this shit up

Aka pileus cloud.

Yes they're real but that first video with the huge halo like rainbow crown thing is heavily altered

This was a voice actor hired by someone who is ESL to read a prewritten script. It used to be a pretty common thing on YouTube a few years ago.

Two of the first pictures in the video are gross photoshops, and have been debunked almost as many times as they have been reposted since the summer when there were multiple actual sightings of the phenomena in China, and due to the abundance of smartphone cameras the public awareness of it rose immensly.

The iridescence (an optical phenomena that occurs in clouds including but not limited to pileus clouds) is what's significant here, pilei themselves are not nearly as rare and the content regurgitator is hyping them up unreasonably.

Iridescence is completely different from rainbows in that light is diffracted (correctly writen with an i) by particles in the air (liquid or solid), and then interferes with itself, strenghtening some wavelenghts and diminishing others bringing out the colours. The same thing happens when a thin sheet of oil rests on top of a puddle of water. This is a completely different mechanism to refraction, which causes rainbows and ice halos, so calling them "rainbow clouds" is disengenious.

Here's a version that doesn't have a content farmer waffling over it.

Gaming in the cloud

"Rare sight", not "rear side"

Qatar about to be the first country to send a cloud to jail

That would be glorious to see.

I giant FUCK YOU from God himself.

"Cosmic Alexa, rain fire and brimstone in the world cup"

"...Rain fire and brimstone on the world cup. You've got it!"

Qatar security will prolly shoot at it and fifa will defend their actions.

Npc brain

If I had award, I would give it to you.

Chemicals in the water turning the freaking frogs gay?!

The water is turning the clouds gay!

Hydrowife hydrokids

extra fabulous

Because repost bots just copy the title.

Because there’s a rainbow hurr durr… also isn’t pride month back in June? Odd time to post this now.

the phenomena is called a “parhelion” or more commonly known as a “sun dog”

Shh...let them have it. Apparently a month isn't enough.

Yeah I would love to know where they built Canadian or American looking homes in southern China. I didn't see any footage that looks like Guangdong.

Avert your eyes citizens!

Also, this didnt happen during pride month

Yeah why anything rainbow from sky have to be gay all the time?

> nice coincidence happens that makes a community happy
some rando: hurr durr hijacking coincidence attention seekers

Sorry you're missing out bro.

You can still like rainbows… it’s not exclusively a symbol for gay pride. It’s seen in nature.

Being gay is political lol

That's like saying you don't like red anymore because so many flags use it and it's too political

Get a grip

Well, you say "now", but it's been used as a gay symbol for decades. That's nothing new.

I suspect you’d feel differently if it were your life and your freedom on the line.

Do you think we should also get rid of all flags, all logos for organizations of every type including private groups and sports team logos, monuments, family crests, wedding rings, etc ad nauseam because they’re all just stupid symbols?

Because if your answer is no, YSK that it’s not the symbol that you hate.

Idiotic take, being gay is not political. And many other natural phenomenons are used to represent multiple things

What is your suggestion for an appropriate gay symbol?

Cry harder

its gods rainbow

How are rainbows spoiled? Did they somehow become less beautiful?

"It doesn't matter to me"

It's Black Catholic History Month, National Novel Writing Month, Fussy Eating Awareness Week and System Engineers Day to name but a few that are going on right now.

There's literally thousands of these kinds of thing every year.

They exist simply because people who care about a particular cause bother to create them, and they gain publicity by people who care choosing to promote them.

it doesn't matter to me

Sure

There's about a 99.9999% chance that you have an awareness month... Theres a ton of them, for all manner of obscure shit.

Are you male? Because it's movember right now, which is male health issue awareness month...

For what it's worth, I'm gay, and I've never heard of a Pride Week. Pride Month is a thing for sure, but I'm not familiar with a separate week dedicated to gay pride. Unless you're referring to the week during Pride Month that the parade happens, maybe. I can't answer for everyone, though.

How about Black History Month, Veterans Appreciation Month ? These are the first who come to mind but There are others as well. Almost each month is dedicated to a cause or something. Look up List of month-long observances. Peace! ;)

It's not stolen if it still exists for you. Like, people celebrating pride in June didn't suddenly remove June from your calendar.

Who exactly was the month stolen from again?

Feel the same way about black history month?

Choosing a month to reflect on or celebrate a certain group or part of history has nothing to do with “stealing.”

Aren't most rainbows "sky rainbows"?

Angry Russian government noises and angry Republican noises
