Last night, Aug 8 the rain came down "Gangnam Style"
There were many crazy and incredible images and videos like this, but one image emerged supreme:
Yup, that dude is on his phone, probably doing social media, while his car sinks... They say no man is an island. Well, until this guy ...
But people didn't even wait until morning to start memeing.....
Made up to look like a recent disaster film poster
And an ostensible scene from that movie ....
Plus even something for the commercial break....

Hey i read that you lived in Korea for 25 years! Where are you now?

All the soju naps end up at the bottom of the hill
Varenvel
meanwhile Poland losing 40% crops(so far) due lack of rain. , yep climate change.
WeatherWiz
More frequent extreme events are just a sign of our changing climate. Gotta get use to it, build around it at this point.

How's the help in their half basement apartment?
keppay
Welp, I guess Parasite is happening now
NomadUniverse
How many abnormal extreme weather events we gotta have before deniers stop denying?

Friend in Seoul said everyone he knew is okay. Felt int'l media was exaggerating for ratings. Pres. said they have to expect this again.
Thunderboltsandlighteningveryveryfrightening
I think the first girl can ditch the umbrella at that point, she's not staying dry and it would really help her save that guy

#1 omg I thought that was his luggage until it stood up!!

Just outside of Seoul in Seongnam. The toll is 8 dead at the moment. Rain forecast for the rest of the workweek. Things will get worse!!

FAKE... scenes from Blade Runner.
DrBadGenes
He's probably using what he can of his electronics before he has to get them wet. Maybe he's asking someone for a boat
CatSparkleBreaker
Working title: 비상선언, "Emergency Declaration" ... I'd watch that

Sauce please?

Seoul has perhaps the best wi-fi in the world, and it's cheap. You can stream TV on the subway. Great for testing new apps and adoption.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
This is fine
UnderratedMediaGuy
Damn, reminds of that scene in “Parasite”
Sh4d0wM4nt1s
The US's west coast use that amount of rain.
ChewyCiabatta
Ahh yes, swimming in sewage

Good thing global warming is fake right? (This is SARCASM, plz do not wrek)

That's one way to cleanse the Seoul

With jokes like that, you should consider a Korea in comedy!

The dude on his car was a reporter and he was reporting the flood from there on purpose. Still wild.
chicjin
No he wasn’t. The reporter who was mistaken for the guy in the photo mentioned he was not the guy on his KakaoTalk profile page.
Danceswithcanines
Here's his viewpoint
Feralkyn
Tbf I'd assume anyone caught like that would be taking pictures & posting them as it happens, reporter or not, I wasn't gonna knock him lol
SwiftyGuy
Or more likely, calling for help. Even if texting them. I wish people would stop assuming everyone is utterly stupid.
Feralkyn
That could also be! He looks super chill either way
IsolatedAsshole
I sure hope that guy swimming in the water has some good medicine ready.
smakcthat
Maybe he's swimming straight to the hospital.
TychoTychoAlba
He was prob taken to a hospital.
onepinksheep
Just saw a headline there there are at least 7 dead, 6 missing in these floods. So yeah, it's not fun and games.
ProfessorVanDiggenSagg
I choose the dude in #2 as my spiritual animal

Your Seoul animal

It’s important to remember. When cities flood, the storm water systems and sewage systems get mixed together. So I would not swim in it.
AlienMark
*Flint Michigan* "ohh the sewage and drinking water need to be separated!"
Dopeden
I would be more worried about the heavy chemicals especially in the long term.
CaptainHyperbole
Or drink it

Emulen
Bad way to loose your Seoulmate
dtc2002
Well that's shitty
DrewBerg
Was gonna say the same thing.
djmaskell
Or in places like Wash DC it's already mixed to begin with and it overflows through special valves instead of going to treatment plant.
CurbYourClassWar
MapleSyrupMafia
Yeah, the one intentionally swimming was a bad idea... the one not able to stand up should stay home too...
DropDrop
After flooding that happens occasionally here, I see what looks like paper mache covering the ground in areas. Toilet paper mache..
HandoB4Javert
I would not swim in **it either
BurnieCinders
lol, keep out of the water,
ShooterV12
And the nightmare of electrified water.... better stay away
Sebbi
The %-tile amounts of water mixed with sewage is so large that the small amount of sewage is negligible. Sea water would be more dirty.
sonicthemariomasterchief
And it all goes out to the ocean. Contaminating everything

I hear lake Mead is full of dead bodies, I wouldn't drink that.
LordAsshurt
Drink clean sewage got it

Yesterday I watched Woodstock 99’ on Netflix. This is bring back memories of the mud. ??
ImHidingFromMyKids
I watched that last night too, I had no idea that they tried to do another woodstock
graceinsheepsclothing
I watched that Saturday.
implosion3
Oo i watched that Sunday

I swam in Lake Erie once
DemSumBigAssRidges
That's gross. Fish pee in that water.
rumandbass
We have signs at lake Erie beaches telling us if the bacteria level is too toxic to swim that day.
2Cats1Box
And sometimes it's not fast enough and all your friends get sick.
sadsquatch
A park ranger announced on a speaker to get out due to large amounts of fecal matter in the water that day
waitwhat1234
Sounds about right. Usually the further away from cities, the "cleaner" the water.
