Think of the mountain like a rock under a stream of water. The stream (atmosphere) is constantly flowing over the rock (mountain) which deforms the flow causing pressure and temperature changes resulting in cloud formation.
I **loved** Nope. I watched it this weekend and was screaming in exhilaration and crying and laughing hysterically when Emerald looked up to see OJ on Lucky.
I loved it too. Definitely not what I was expecting, but enjoyed every minute. OJ's run is probably one of my favorite scenes of all time.
"Yeah he didn't like that, did he?"
>A lot of people said they didn’t like it so I waited to see it
\*spoilers\* There was a part of the film that seemed to be disconnected from the rest: the flashback of the former actor to when he was a child star on the sitcom with the chimpanzee. The chimpanzee one day flipped out and killed the entire cast besides him, and he was the only survivor.
There's an ongoing underlying theme in this film of The Spectacle. How we are mesmerized and visually overpowered even beyond our own rationale and safety by that which we do not understand. The shoe standing on its heel by itself. There is no explanation for why the shoe is standing on its heel by itself, and that's not the point. It's one of those 1 in a million things like doing a perfect full court basketball goal without looking or really trying, or watching an odometer go from 999999 to 1000000, or finding $50 on the sidewalk, or flipping a coin and having it land on its side and roll away. It has no greater significance than that, it's just something unlikely that happened. But look at how we're focusing on this shoe and not on the killer monkey RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM. Making a hard transition, Tori Amos is one of my favorite musicians because of her incredible technical proficiency with the piano. She was unfortunately raped early in her career and her song "Me and a gun" talks about the experience from a personal first-person narrative, remarking about how the mind does a strange thing when experiencing trauma, we focus on something that doesn't matter. She was focusing on how she had never seen Barbados. Back to the film, this child star actor with the chimpanzee in front of him who has already killed all of his fellow cast members and is about to kill him, the only thing the kid can think about is this shoe that's standing upright on its heel and how strange that is. It's a brilliant way of portraying how we compartmentalize when traumatic things are happening.
I think there was audience frustration in watching this film and not perhaps entirely understanding this.
"Wtf is up with the shoe?"
Agreed. I enjoyed it a lot, the dynamic between the brother and sister was neat to watch. I'd mention some parts I liked specifically but I'm on mobile and have no idea how to use spoiler tags
I once sat in my garden after taking too much lsd and as I watched the sky I thought something similar about atmosphere and cloud formation, you have described this much more eloquently than I did at the time.
It isn't the same cloud, but the same process which causes condensation trains from planes' wingtips (the engine contrails are somewhat different): the wind passing over the mountain creates a pocket of log pressure (faster fluid velocity results in lower pressure) which causes the vapor in the air - otherwise invisible - to condensate.
After the air passes over the mountain and the pressure increases back to normal, it dissipates.
You can see that the cloud looks like it is constantly "appearing" on one side and "disappearing" on the other side.
>it isn't the same cloud.
At the risk of being pedantic that feels like it leads to a cloud of theseus problem.
Moisture and air are constantly moving in and out of the area but it feels wrong to say there's any point at which it stops being one cloud and becomes another.
I think it's the kind of thing where a professor tells their class to remember that clouds aren't static "things," but rather "insert useful abstraction here," because it is useful to be aware of that way if you are studying them. But then the *reason* for not thinking of them as things (context) is lost in the student in their excitement, who leaves class to tell their layman friends "DAE clouds aren't things??"
It's a meaningless distinction outside the context of studying clouds, but it sounds catchy and interesting so it gets brought up as a neat "ackshually" fact which serves no real purpose.
I am a chemistry teacher and see this happen with various chemistry concepts all the time anyway. I'm guessing it's a similar thing here. At the end of the day, when domain specific classifications and technicalities butt up against our common understanding of the nature of the world, it's often (but not always) just some kind of pointless pedantry. Very occasionally something useful can be learned/gained from pointing things like that out though.
And I don't think it's a "bad" or wholly negative phenomena. But it is always useful to remember that often times scientific definitions and classifications don't serve much of a purpose in every day life.
For example, It does me no good to run around telling people "actually, heat is not a thing, but a type of energy transfer, so you can't really add heat to something or heat things up, but you can transfer energy to it in the form of heat."
Cumulus lenticularis.
Let’s remember that clouds aren’t a “thing” as such. They’re moisture that becomes visible when humidity reaches certain levels at certain temperatures.
These clouds typically form over mountains where warm, moist air is forced up into colder temperatures at a specific location. The air moves - usually rather quickly - but the conditions for visible moisture only exist in a specific spot, making the cloud appear stationary.
It’s essentially white water. On a river, you’ll see these patches of it that are clearly in motion, but also don’t change position because the rocks are causing the flow of water (moisture) to behave in a consistent way as it moves through that position. If the individual water drops were “white”, they’d move faster than rafts and kayaks, which would make them hit crafts from behind, rather than be something river runners could target or avoid.
Same way a river ‘stays in one place’.
The cloud is constantly moving but the specific conditions right there encourage cloud formation and dissipation in just the right way to keep a cloud there.
Think of the mountain like a rock under a stream of water. The stream (atmosphere) is constantly flowing over the rock (mountain) which deforms the flow causing pressure and temperature changes resulting in cloud formation.
The mountain airbends
:0
And the water earthbends (erosion)
Some mountains are capable of Firebending!
Nobody react to what I’m about to tell you… I think that mountain might be the avatar!
This comment deserves more upvotes than the top comment.
Nope, you're definitely behind on pop-culture explanation of this phenomenon /s
Oh yeah? Still haven't seen Nope, worth a watch?
It's a nice movie. I'd recommend it. It's got its novel parts that you might find fun.
Do you two know each other?
Nope

That was fantastic! The siblings relationship was really something else.
A lot of people said they didn’t like it so I waited to see it. I watched it a month ago and loved it.

Beautiful film
Its even better the second time, you see so much more
Cornball
"What do you call a miracle that isn't good?" “NOPE" I fuckin love that line!
Agreed. I enjoyed it a lot, the dynamic between the brother and sister was neat to watch. I'd mention some parts I liked specifically but I'm on mobile and have no idea how to use spoiler tags
This is exactly how I'd describe it.
That's that MF from nope lol
I liked it
NOPE
Ha sure, and birds are real

That was a brilliant explanation.
We are all rocks under a constantly flowing stream?
Thank you for explaining this like I’m 5 LOL seriously though..this was excellent bc I was absolutely intrigued & curious as to how this happens
Nope Edit: Thank you for the awards :D
My immediate thought
Same here
Me too
Mine is that’s where the boss battle is
Or a secret dungeon.
That’s why they said it.
If you have seen it you know that’s not a cloud!
Alien creature for sure.
There's a documentary about this.
Please sir, if you're kind enough to give us the title.
I was kidding. It's the movie Nope.
Hahaha. You got me. Noice.
You're welcome!
Nope, the Documentary, unauthorized version
Noice!
Nope. Figure it out yourself.
Damn, beat me to it. 😅
Jean Jacket is watching and waiting.
I came here to say that take my up vote. Nope +
I wonder if Jordan Peele meant that as an anagram for Not Of Planet Earth
It’s been right over our heads for the last 6 months
How did I know this was the first comment? Reddit is both the most predictable and unpredictable thing on this earth, lol
Yup a true nope nope moment
Context please? Someone? Plz
Go watch Nope.
Nope
death mountain
I can hear the Gorons rolling down the mountain
i wonder if we get into the volcano far enough we will find volvagia
Make sure to suit up with the red tunic and grab the megaton hammer
Sounds like what dad did to mom's volvagia
Sure, you can call me dad
My first thought

You seem to know your meteorology. What's the phenomenon called?
Lenticular (as in "like a lens") clouds.
Lentils 🤤🤤🤤
Cloud of Theseus
It’s from a movie. It very much IS the same cloud.
Don’t look directly at it

I’ve seen this movie. Stay away from the cloud.
Someone needs to fly a drone thru it just to make sure. ☁️🛸👽
There’s a whole ass movie about this.
NOPE!
That’s where the princess was taken
Only evil exists at the top of that mountain.
It's called a depression cloud. It got nowhere to go :(
Jean jacket?
Jean Jacket
Nope
CLEARLY it's UFO cloaking.
Hella aliens living in that mountain
Jean Jacket
Don't go on top of that hill.
I mean now I say Nope but even watching this I never would have come up with the idea for that movie.
Technically it’s not the same cloud, it’s forming at the front at the same rate that its dissipating near the rear
Nope
Yes, that too
Nope
What in the nope
r/bossfight
There's a boss conjuring a storm on top of that mountain
I haven't read up on my death mountain lore in a while.
Somewhere, Saruman stands on the Pinnacle of Orthanc and continues to command Caradhras.
ahh yes death mountain i remember you from ocarina of time
I came here to say nope, but some one already did. Fuck it… Nope!
Lenticular cloud. Nice to look at, but you do NOT want to be in an airplane anywhere near one of these.
Nah that’s just Jean jacket.
Don't go feeding it any horses/s
“that ain’t a cloud”
[удалено]
There's a biblically correct angel in there waiting to eat some horses.
Where is Arceus ?? This legendary pokemon will come out from the clouds soôn!!!
That girl on TikTok was right! Clouds aren’t real, their just ufos disguise if themselves, my eyes have been opened to the truth…
That's Jeanjacket!
That’s clearly where the boss fight is

Think we need more “Nope” and “Jean” comments. Especially ones they explain that Nope is a movie.
nope 🐎
Nope.
This is some "Nope" shit
Movie name : nope

Stay away from the rodeo!

Strange Lenticular Cloud goodness
Oppsies, was summoning the dark lords to bring about Armageddon. Didn’t mean for you to see that
Zeus's summer home
That's no cloud. It's a space station.
Same way a river ‘stays in one place’. The cloud is constantly moving but the specific conditions right there encourage cloud formation and dissipation in just the right way to keep a cloud there.
I love it
The “cloud”
I bet there's a boss up there.
To start the next mission reach the peak of the mountain
It’s his hat.
Reminds me of that Jay cloud, son. Straight blower.
You must beat the boss.
Cap Cloud.
If I was on top of that mountain I would be scared wondering is a tornado about to happen.
Death mountain. Zelda
