It sounds like gravel being thrown on a hard surface.

Saved you a click.

One of the perks of having so darn many cameras everywhere - we get to capture rarely recorded events like this regularly.

American doorbell cams are the new Russian dashcam. Only main difference is that American doorbell cams are directly connected to the cloud/police.

I know you are speaking in general about rare things but this specific instance it said it was an historic first. That’s wild

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 18 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

What's truly wild is a news source providing the video at the top of the story without any overlays, talking heads or extraneous crap. Astonishing.

I'm not on my usual device so I don't know if adblock would have helped, but that BBC shithole did have a 30 second unskippable ad for a 10 second video.

Thanks, you (what's the opposite of saving a click?)!

People used to think the notion of rocks falling out of a clear blue sky was bullshit. And here we are.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I was expecting it to sound like a bullet

I read "bullshit" as "bullet". I need to go to sleep.

Yet oddly it made sense

Hopefully, we will not need a Ripley soon.

I'm surprised it didn't make a bigger hole in their bricks.

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Most meteors that reach all the way to the surface are really small. Bigger impacts are rare, buy not impossible.

[–] kusivittula@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

still i bet it would absolutely suck to get hit by that

Meteorite goes Bish!

Are we sure that isn't something that fell off of an airplane?

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 1 hour ago

You mean like the front falling off?

tested as ordinary chondrite, the most common type of space rock to strike Earth.
