My grandma used to say the angels were bowling
The really loud claps, like wall shaking ones were them cheering at a strike
My mother used to say this.
When the thunderstorm is very far away and I can listen just the faintest noise i I like to say that the sky's stomach is rumbling.
God is about to drop some explosive diaharea.
In Norse mythology, it's Thor riding his carriage.
But he is riding his carriage during combat with the giants and then the actual lighting is when he throws his hammer? But I could be wrong, it was a couple of years since I studied this
Thor is not just the god of thunder, but weather in general. Thunder was his carriage and lightning sprang from his eyes. I suppose thunder could also be from his hammer Mjølner.
I've heard your version too, but I think think that's a modern revision, including the lightning from his hammer Mjølner.
I looked it up on Wikipedia. They don't mention any lightning coming from his hammer but say that he rides is carriage and creates lightning when he is angry
When Thor is enraged, he rides around on his chariot, which is drawn by the goats Tanngnjóstr and Tanngrisnir, i.e. Tandgnissle and Tandglese, among the clouds and fights with his hammer, Mjölnir (Mjölnir, a symbol of the thunderclaw), against evil in the form of giants; a similar battle is fought in Indian mythology between Indra and Asuras. This is how thunder occurs
Translation from the Swedish Wikipedia
I'm kinda disappointed that he doesn't create thunder with is hammer. I thought our school knew what the were teaching us :(
It's on the more correct and less silly danish Wikipedia: https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor
"dette var ligesom hans gnistrende øjne og mægtige stemme sandsynligvis en reference til tordenvejr"
This was like his lightning eyes and mighty voice likely a reference to thunder.
It's silly to use Sweden as a reference, they are a silly people in a silly country. Unlike Denmark which contrary to what many believe is a way way different and superior not at all alike Scandinavian country.
Also Denmark has Himmelbjerget (Sky mountain) Which is the place the Norse gods used to travel to earth using the burning rainbow bridge Bifrost. So clearly we were in closer contact.

Yes intuitively I think most would expect that's how it works. After all Thors hammer Mjølner is the most powerful weapon of the gods. One would think it made some noise too?

😂
TIL. I'll remember from this point on that the Swedes are silly geese
Ok maybe I'm a silly swed, but to me the idea of a mountain in Denmark sounds really silly :)
Our mountains are marvelous, you can walk all the way up, have a picnic and beer, and walk all the way down again in less than an hour, depending on how much beer you brought.
Please explain how that is silly? There's a reason the gods prefer himmelbjerget. 😀
Himmelbjerget, more like Fladbakken b(^_^)d
Gods farting
When I was a kid, my parents or grandparents (don't remember exactly) used to say, they are playing bowling up there.
i find thunderstorm relaxing and i take kitty nyap
That's jod dropping logs. Sounds like it was holy enchilada night last night
God's farts smell like ozone.
Only if thunder is followed by putrid stench :D
Volcanos can smell of sulphur so...
Volcanos, Mother Earth's buttholes
Oh lawd help me, I'm about to burn ma dick
