I was in NC for the 2017 eclipse. I think the sun was about 97% covered at that location. It's unreal how much light that 3% provides. For me, the reaction to 2017 was "well, that was neat, haven't seen it since 94." In contrast, today was a spiritual experience. Being able to actually look at it with the naked eye. Crickets started up when it went dark, and when the light came back, spring peepers started croaking.Β

Solar Eclipse 2024Add TopicΒ
The total solar eclipse failed to bring about the end times. I'm disappointed.
Nothing freakin' happened. Satan's demonic minions didn't rise up from the ground and drag me to the fiery pits of hell. There were literally zero raptures.

USA TODAYΒΒΒ0:420:42ΒΒΒLike most Americans, I was banking onΒ the solar eclipse ushering in the end timesΒ and saving me from the unbearable horrors of a presidential election year and the general absurdity of human existence.
ButΒ Mondayβs much-ballyhooed eclipseΒ came and went and β¦ nothing. The lights came back on, the land remained un-blighted and America continued to exist. Nary a locust to be found.
Clearly, this was a huge disappointment. Itβs like the Groundhog Day groundhog telling us we haveΒ six more weeks of winter, only this was the sun telling us we have to continue existing for an indefinite period of time in a world where people think random doses of horse dewormer are safer than vaccines.
Why oh why did the solar eclipse not usher in the end times?
ΒPondering the months ahead and the mind-blisteringΒ daily nonsense that will be blasted from Donald Trumpβs mouth-cannon, I viewed the potentially apocalyptic solar eclipse as a welcome way to shuffle off this mortal coil.
The moon blocking out the sun, I was told by the kind of sources who embraced the aforementioned horse dewormer,Β was a harbinger of doom. And as I glanced at a few social media feeds and saw the gushers of left- and right-wing babble, I welcomed the sweet embrace of death that would accompany this celestial moment.
ΒThe eclipse is upon usβ and so are the conspiracies. It's possible, even good, to enjoy it.
I joined the masses in counting down the moments until the skies began to dim.
ΒI wasnβt in the path of totality but figured (fingers crossed!) the inevitable rivers of fire would still consume me.
Worst. Solar eclipse. Ever.
Slowly but surely, the sunlight dimmed.
But then, in a matter of minutes, it started coming back.
ΒWhat the heck? I was promised a descent into eternal darkness and an end to the ceaseless anguish of American life. Why could I still see my laptopΒ and a headline that read: βTrump revives his wish that immigrants came from rich White countries.β
THATβS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS COUNTING ON THE ECLIPSE TO ERADICATE!!!
ΒWhat's so special about the eclipse?You have to see it to believe it.
Our dreams of an end to American politics (and life) faded quickly
Nothing freakinβ happened. Satanβs demonic minions didnβt rise up from the ground and drag me to the fiery pits of hell. There were literally zero raptures.Β The earth did not split open and swallow all of humanity into its gaping maw.Β
I briefly thought I saw a chupacabra, but it was just my dog wearing her chupacabra costume.
ΒYou disappoint me, eclipse. I had such high hopes for an end of days.
Good grief. Whatβs a guy gotta do to drown in a river of blood and avoid months of hearing people who donβt know the difference between βyourβ and βyouβreβ defend a con-artist former president who wouldnβt spit on them if they were on fire.
ΒThanks for nothing, solar eclipse. A lot of us were counting on you to bring a swift end to the chaos of modern American life.
Now weβre left to wait around and hope an asteroid comes along and does the job properly.
