I used to have this friend that would always count down "3, 2, 1...NOW!" at crosswalks and always get it right.

What was the deductive reasoning here?

And what other things do you anons know how to forecast?

Just thought it might be an interesting thread.

So this may be localised, but i've worked out that crosswalks, at least over here, function in increments of 15. As in 15 seconds to cross as well as 15 crosswalk "bleeps" from when traffic lulls/you push the button to turn green.

Also here's a basic one.

Storm warnings:

1. Birds flying close to the ground
2. Air shifting from left to right, then right to left
3. When there is a lull in wind, smoke rises upwards indicating low pressure
4. A distinct smell of neutrality/cleaness, this is ozone
5. Prior point leads to a heaightened sense of smell; you can smell flowers and grass etcetera from amkuch greater distance
6. Morning sky tinged by red
7. Loud frog/toad croaks
8. Leaves flip over, revealing their underside
9. Pinecones contract/close up
10. Visible mosquito swarms
11. You will notice a lot more bees

Hot Waitress Index

The hotter the waitresses, the weaker the economy. In flush times, there is a robust market for hotness. Selling everything from condos to premium vodka is enhanced by proximity to pretty young people (of both sexes) who get paid for providing this service.

Heres a weird one that I still can't completely explain. But after a large storm, if you reach into pothole puddles you have a very high chance of finding money, bills specifically. Obviously it has something to do with the wind and rain sweeping them into these points. But still, kind of crazy. I've found hundreds over the last few years just by doing this.

Locals wanted rain, and as far as they're concerned, Hally's delivered puddles of it.

The man I met is as salt-of-the-earth as the granules of salt he crushes into his onions.

"It's a bit of fun," he tells me, twinkle in his eye.

Hally's method of weather forecasting with an onion has more layers than, well, an onion. He cuts both ends off, before slicing it in half.

"You always start with the left side," he sternly tells me while peeling it apart.

Pieces are placed on a chopping board, each representing a month, January through to June. The same is repeated with the right side of the onion, December through to July this time. Then Hally rubs cooking salt into each piece.

Funko Pop Popularity Theory

When things are bad, the mid-wits gravitate towards two things to navigate/cope with their unhappiness. Hoarding and nostalgia. This is why the sisyphian task of "collecting" Funko Pops has become such a phenomena, since it coalesces the two.

This is why emulators and retro gaming and remakes of remakes of remakes are so profitable right now.

Now is the domain of analogue recording/tape machines, VHS/VCR's, vintage toys and first edition copies of albums and books.

Full Laundromat Theory

If you ever find yourself waiting at a laundromat, or see a queue formulating, you better start saving up. It means everyone is overworked and starved for free time.

Adding to this, the more locked ashtrays you see pried open on your walks. The more likely some type of social volatility/protests are to be expected.

Backpack vs Totebag Theory

You can tell the level of paranoia in the general populace by comparing the amount of people carrying around backpacks as opposed to tote bags. Backpacks = carrying more supplies in case of an unprecendented event.
