Comment on Would a metal gazebo be safe during a lightning storm?
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 1 week ago‘Obviously it would attract lightning’ was and is incorrect. I pointed that out and explained what actually happens. I am also a lay person. I was just explaining what I know in response, and clarifying with replies.

No, you’re calling it wrong, then describing the same thing using different words and asserting that your description is right and the other is wrong. Whether you say “metal conducts electricity” or “metal attracts electricity” doesn’t matter when the idea you’re expressing is, “electricity can be expected to go where metal is.”
Either way, I don’t have the time or the inclination or be pedantic with strangers on the internet regarding matters I already understand and ultimately don’t matter.
Good luck to you 👍

Everything I’ve said is objectively true. Good luck with your pedantry .
