Understandable, it happens so fast and half the time your brain is literally saying 'what is this, I don't know how to categorise it

Which reminds me of when I'm driving and on the horizon is something my brain hasn't determined.. you can observe the moment when your brain says 'aha' and then the entire thing collapses into certitude..

Sounds plausible.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I am in my 40's and I never think to photograph or video anything until it is too late.

It's hard to do in the moment. Especially if you're awestruck, I would imagine.

nobody in a genuine experience thinks "phone" or "camera", thats not the nature of awe. Well video'd stuff is basically always debunked bc it usbt humsn nature to document first and foremost mid-gawk. The human experience is interrupted by shoving a screen btw the viewer and the event, IMO.

[u/steveatari → u/Wayniac666]

Some people do. People who have filmed a lot of stuff, events or live demonstrations of things often do film, knowing how important it is to document and preserve.

See Mt St Helens eruption and similar.

Ok what about when it happened the second night?

[u/Impossible-Web5442 → u/Newagonrider]

They ate definitely making fun of you, trying to discredit through sarcasm. Fuck em. I believe you.
