Who else doesn’t give 2 chits about the eclipse?

[edjr 5,569]

my chick just text me.  "WHY DIDN"T YOU TAKE YOUR ECILPSE SUNGLASSES?"

I told you. I don't give a fock, woman!

[Mike Honcho 4,039]

My working theory is @edjris downplaying the eclipse, because he's a warlock and doesn't want to get burned at the stake.

You would think that he would use his magic to give himself a better body.  And face.  Maybe it doesn't work that way tho.

We're in the middle of our eclipse, whee!  I poked some pinholes into a piece of paper, it makes little crescent circles, which I've seen before.  Maybe 50-60% coverage I'd guess.  It's also slightly darker for a sunny day, which is always weird during an eclipse. 

 

[TheNewGirl 1,031]

I think it's cool, but then I think all things space and stuff are pretty cool. 

I does suck that today it's completely clear blue skies and we aren't in the path at all. Just went outside and it's maybe a teensy bit darker outside, but I see nothing. Supposed to see like really little shadows or something, but I don't see shiiite. 

The last eclipse we were in the path of here in CA, and it was cloudy as fock. I was out for a run and I'd forgotten about it, so when it started getting darker, I was like WTF?! And I actually looked up and kind of saw it since it was cloudy and my retinas didn't burn. 

Just seems that when we are in the path, we don't see anything...and when we aren't in the path, the sky is focking clear.

 Bust by me.  That doesn’t mean it’s not happening elsewhere.  Sorta like crime.

Just like 3/4 here, big F'ING deal.

WHY IS GOD ANGRY WITH US? 

[listen2me 23 1,546]

Got pretty dark.  It turned to light fast.  Cloudy.  I saw it for a bit.   

Ok thats done. 

[Pimpadeaux 2,271]

We picked up Rusty II and went out to a park and managed to see the whole thing just fine despite a lot of clouds.

It was super cool, particularly seeing the solar flares. 

[edjr 5,569]

Even though I really didn't care. @Gutterboys Flip Flops  text me the best picture of it. He is in Ohio. Right in the path

[Thornton Melon 544]

I didn't really give a rat's ass, but they handed out eclipse glasses at work, so I grabbed some. Everyone was just milling about outside at work, so I said fock this, I'd rather watch this with the wifey than my co-workers. So, I went home and caught the peak there. We were at 94.4%. I was more impressed with the slight overall darkness outside than the sun itself, which just looked like a waning crescent moon. So, it was basically meh.

He's nicer than me, I would have gone all Judge Smails on you...

That was bad ass. Got very lucky with clear weather. I was expecting it to be a bit overhyped but was worth seeing. I would try and do this again.

I wonder what all of the conspiracy theorists are doing now?  I thought it was suppose to be the end of the world or something.

So, we've been told that the Sun is like 93 gajillion miles away from us. And that travels at 147 light years per mile.

 

Then, we have the moon, which allegedly is a gazillion knots per miles away from us too and travels I don't know, Mach75.

 

We're also told that space is vast and essentially eternal in scope. Meaning, these guys could each be on planes vastly away from each other.  But somehow, suddenly, huge coincidence that the Sun and the Moon just happened to be lined up right in front and back of each other.

...And we just happened to be lucky enough to watch this 'event'.

 

I'm calling shenanigans.

Man, I hope they remember all those folks who are caught between the Moon and New York City. 

 

I mean, what's the Best That They Can do?

[cyclone24 1,814]

I bought two dollar glasses at the grocery store this morning and sat on my back deck for about 20 minutes and watched it. That’s the extent if it’s value.

Shouldn't the tides be all kablewey?

Never understood that whole Moon and tides thing. I think it's a crock. Oh wait, the moon can cause water to move all the way around the planet, but not a single drop of sand is impacted by the same force?

Iceland 2026, could potentially see totality, a volcano erupting, northern lights, and Bjork in same day.

Actually, it makes perfect sense that it would be darker during an eclipse.

That there were conspiracy theories but they stopped as the eclipse drew closer.
