Recent storm patterns align with electronics gaining temporary functionality, but there's an additional effect I discovered as well. You don't know about it? [well, maybe they do know about the lightning thing and they're more focused on the other part of his statement (aka the part that implies he's been doing something reckless), but he's already decided that they must be asking because they want to know the results he found SO]
Objects struck by lightning retain their functionality for an extended period of time. Exact length of extension is difficult to measure but seems to be approximately 1 hour. No other positive side effects have been noted yet, unless we count Dynamo's situation, but I'll keep looking into it. If the effect can be stored or extended further through repeated experiments that would be a huge breakthrough. Restoring the use of technology in this world will make everything so much easier after all.
[not even Dynamo can filter out his swelling pride this timeβthey helped, so they're also proud!! please be impressed by how hard they've been working cool robot friends]
I constructed a lightning rod on the roof if you'd like to try it yourself sometime. Possibility that sentient machines are affected differently? For me it just hurt like hell but that part only lasted a minute or so. [anyway yeah he let himself get hit by lightning and thinks this is totally fine and normal]
