Had the song It’s Raining Men stuck in my head. Got me thinking. Would my home owners insurance cover the damages to my house? And what about the clean up?
You know the sound right when it starts to rain?
There’s a tap on the roof or the window, then a few more, and you think “Oh, is that…?” and, sure enough, the taps continue, getting more and more frequent until they blend together into the soothing patter of rainfall. Now imagine that, but instead of light taps, it’s a dull “phomp.”
I imagine someone in an alternate universe hearing that first phomp, and running to grab a cup of tea before sitting by the window to watch the manfall.
I think there is a Junji Ito novel with people raining from the skies. It is, as expected, quite unpleasant.
I couldn’t imagine what it was like standing around the north tower on 9-11, around 200 people rained down that morning.
Shit, I’ll never forget being at home watching the towers burn on TV as a kid and seeing things falling from them and asking my mom what they were and hearing “those are people jumping rather than burn to death”. Horrifying. What a choice to make.
I’m sure the Firefighters have some serious nightmares
It’d go very quickly from “It’s Raining Men” to “Let the bodies hit the floor”.

Lol I like the macho man in there
I think he’s in every dj cumberbund song.
I figured those two songs were based on the same event.
Lol. I want to see a short 15 minute serious horror drama movie about this happening. Having the song playing ironically as all hell breaks loose.
Or an action movie with a fight scene aboard a transport airplane with people getting tossed out of the loading door. Cut to action on the ground with them impacting in sync with the music.
Just watch video footage from 9/11 while the song is playing.
Too soon
Are these spontaneously generated men or are they pre-existing dudes who got teleported into the sky?
ME: “Wow I can’t exist with how hot and sunny it is today. A-” <disappears>
The man cycle.
Just run of the mill spontaneously generated men. No crazy teleportation stuff. This ain’t Star Trek.
They’ll have enough time in their short lives to think “Welp, just my luck…”
“And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground! I wonder if it will be friends with me?”
They had a scene in Dune part 2 where it was raining men. It was quite upsetting.
The men are hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement!
it starts raining male humans from the sky
Half the population hears It’s Raining Men by the Weather Girls the other half hears Bodies by Drowning Pool
Cloudy, with a chance of Man Balls.
A lot of idioms are not great if considered literally, tbf. “Raining cats and dogs”, “Break a leg”, letting someone “off the hook”, etc.
Meat’s back on the menu, boys!
What if they’re tiny men though? Like a hail report but, “Today across the central plains, residents experienced golf ball sized man rain.”
man rain
That sounds like a completely different problem, with much worse cleanup 0.o
I think most homeowners insurance policies cover ‘acts of God’ aka phenomena that can’t be controlled and that would likely be covered under that.
I think most home owners insurance companies would, as usual, do their best to fuck over their customers in a way they think they can get away with (and they probably will, fuckers).
"We see here that you don’t have ‘The Weather Girls’ comprehensive coverage which does in fact cover raining men”
Leonidas made it rain.
