Yo, @alans! So, a weather app. I didn't see that coming. I like to imagine a team of comedians brainstorming new product ideas in front of a whiteboard but maybe there's more to it. What's the backstory and how high is the humidity of water?

@alans@rrhoover Yeah I agree. If I made a list of 500 products potentially coming from Funny or Die, a weather app wouldn't have made that list. If this is indicative of upcoming products, its going to be an interesting year.
@rrhoover Hey Ryan. At our core we've always wanted to be a weather company so this is a small step in that direction. ;) kidding aside, we genuinely wanted to find a new way to inject humor into an everyday activity and checking the weather felt like a great way to start. Checking the weather is a pretty low involvement experience which makes it possible to add a layer of fun and not distract the user from the app's primary purpose.
As far as the humidity of water, it's complicated but our metereologists are working on it...
Contrats @alans, Weather has been moved into my "Poo Emoji" folder of pre-installed Apple Apps and FOD Weather has a homepage slot... for now... You best be funnier every day or you too shall be "poo'd" - or deleted if you suck extra hard. Just saying.
Hey folks! I do Product at Funny Or Die and we're really excited to be launching our new weather app. Our goal was to make an otherwise mundane task a little more enjoyable. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions!
If I wouldn't use Authentic Weather app since two years I would be impressed about the fresh take on the weather (: But it's good to see some competition in the space!
@schneidertobias Hey Tobias. Thanks for checking ours out. Definitely aware of Authentic and like how they do it. But I think you'll find we have a lot more content.
@will_lam thanks for the heads up, Will. Working on a fix right now.

@alans on another note.. how does get an interview, let aloneinterview for a role at Funny or Die? Do you have to crack a few jokes to pass a litmus test? Would LOVE TO KNOW! 😜
@will_lam Hey Will, we're actually searching for a product manager right now. Feel free to email me your info: alan@funnyordie.com - jokes are always welcome ;)
