On October 21, 2026, in Santiago, Chile, @caldostrong shared a video showing vapor rising from rooftops across an urban neighborhood after rainfall. In the video, wisps of steam drift above weathered corrugated metal roofs and between low-rise buildings, with green trees and tall apartment blocks visible in the background beneath an overcast sky. According to the author, sunlight heated the freshly fallen rainwater on the rooftops, causing it to evaporate and making the water cycle visible within seconds. The author humorously directed the caption at people who deny the water cycle, presenting the scene as a real-life example of evaporation.
