Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country, localized entirely within maybe as far south as Alabama to northern California?

I love the last panel. He's waiting for a miraculous bit flip.
Edit: Context and the cosmic bit flip is probalby not true: https://youtu.be/vj8DzA9y8ls
I don't know dude. It sounds that this YTer is a bit angry about a possible explanation that sounds reasonable and has no proof to debunk it either.
Yeah, because you can't prove a negative. He doesn't need to debunk it, only to provide an alternative explanation which is more likely. Occam's razor.
I would be angry too if I have already done lots of research trying to figure this out and the top videos and articles talking about it all say the least likely thing is what actually happened.
Not gunna get cosmic rays at night though.
Could be a neutrino strike.
(Or it could be an N64 memory expansion pack being flaky because damn they were flaky. It doesn't matter that your game isn't actually using the extended memory, it's still shitting all over the RAMBUS).
At least not until that civilization ending gamma ray burst thats been traveling for millions of years lazers the fuck out of our atmosphere without warning.
I recognized that scene immediately but didn't know it was called the "cosmic bit flip"
