Water 'Defies Gravity' at the Hoover Dam

Updraft causes water to flow up and over mom as she pours it over the Hoover Dam

[Arraydeess]

For those who are wondering:
The water does this because the dam has had enough water and simply rejects the offering

[HustenreiZxD]

For those wondering why the water is travelling upwards, the dam just said "no". Thus the water is legally not allowed to fall down towards the dam.

For people wondering why this is happening is due to the way the dam is created, you can see the curvature of the dam creates air that flows up which in this case pushes the water upwards.

For people who don't know about it,
the structure of the dam creates such a hugely powerful updraft that the air pushes things back against gravity.The dam is shaped like a bow. This structure is the main reason for this unique phenomenon where even the water is pushed upwards by the air.

For those wondering:
Dams are very territorial creatures. This dam does not recognize the scent of the foreign water, thus the foreign water is rejected by the dam for not being a part the dam's own water herd.

Plot twist they're all actually upsidedown and the water is falling naturally.

For those wondering why the water travels upward, it's because it's an alternate timeline where Isaac Newton didn't see the apple fall

We won’t go quietly, the legion can count on that

[LegendKiller]

For those wondering:

99% of the comment section explains why the water “falls” upward incase the 1% were wondering.

[yesno]

For those who are wondering:
The dam has reached maximum capacity and cannot store more water. You’d need to level it up first.

For those who are wondering:
We are at Hoover Dam, which means we are actually playing Fallout: New Vegas and the water is just glitched.

For those wondering:

The Dam simply used maxed out Speech against the Water.

For those wondering:
Those kids are still unhappy about her failure to properly “launch it out.”

[Iluvpie]

For those wondering:
The water is afraid of heights

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Now let's try to jump and see if we'll fly 🦸‍♂️

For those wondering:
Smoked beef brisket sandwich is the best when paired with honey mustard sauce and a slice of pineapple!

[deekesh]

Isaac Newton: You can't do this to me.

Gravity: I missed the part where that's my problem.

[PrudhviRaj]

For those wondering why:
The water goes up because the dam simply wants to give back something in return to the sky. What a noble soul this dam has.

So that's what Legate Lanius fought for...
