Literally, all the lights in the room I'm in a flickering. Like they turn off for a split second, noticable enough, but the power doesn't go out.
It's done this about 12 times now in the past 20 minutes.

Oh god

Oh god, I hope not!

But idk why, the tension of this event. It's like so close to going out. Usually it flickers a few times then dies.
It's just mocking me, being all dim, saying "Hey, power's about to go ooouuu.... JUST KIDDING forget YOU!"

Sunny, 93^F, and 50% Humidity.
I think it's everyone's AC that's gonna kill the power. It happens when it's hot sometimes out here in Michigan

yeah, the power system there is probably under a lot of stress
darn northerners not being able to take the heat, it's gotten up to over 90*f here in wisconsin and all i'm hearing on the weather stuff is "oh no record high weather"
we're used to near 100* weather down where i live so it's funny to listen to northern people talk about the heat

It seems to have stopped for now.

I'll let you know if my power goes out
Hehe, super intuitive plan right there ^^^

Thats not good, a breaker could be going out.

If the breaker went out wouldn't it just stay off?

Its going out, not out.
But when it finally dies yes it'll stay out.
