      A solar eclipse has been interpreted as a harbinger of doom since the dawn of time. The conspiracy theory is merely a modern evolution of this trend.

        They happen about once every 18 months, and people seem to keep their cool about it. Last time we had one in the US the biggest news was that Trump stared directly at it without eye protection.

          Damn. There was literally a partial (full? idk partial for me at least) eclipse in the US during Trump’s term, which is how we got that amazing image of that fucking loser staring straight at the sun. Why do these inbred fucks thing this is eclipse is any different than any other eclipse that has happened?

          Unrelated question, does anyone know if eclipse glasses expire? I’ll search this on my own but was curious.

          Don’t tell him that palm trees often bend at an angle towards each other and form an X shape. There are people who have a fear of the number 13 and it’s known as triskaidekaphobia. This person seems to have something similar but with the letter X.

          Man… I’m feeling better every day about leaving Reddit, and most other social media, for that matter. What the fuck is wrong with people.
