    I thought only crazy right-wingers believed in apocalyptic interpretations of the eclipse:

    From what I could see the internet was full of absolute bull sheeyat about the world ending. Been there done that. Its not left or right wing politics-its people ignorant of science. Some of it is deliberate psych ops from our friends in North Korea, Russia, Iran, China. Some if it is simply to sell products by shocking you.

    You know there's between two and five solar eclipses on the planet every year right. It's not really a rare occurrence it's rare that it's over land mass that you're on that you can see and experience totality.

    But I remember seeing one in 2017 there was one in 2023 and that was recently one.

    As far as it being a coincidence there is no evidence that the moon was purposefully built to be the same size as the sun from our perspective. If you're talking about some intelligent design somewhere that I believe in intelligent design but it's a belief there's no evidence that it's true.

    People have been using phenomenon such as hurricanes and earthquakes and wildfires and so forth for millennia to suggest that the gods are angry.

    But when someone invents something such as a hybrid of tomato that's dropped resistant nobody says that that's God showing his contentment.

    Things happening out of the ordinary tinted generate fear even if you understand what's going on. People that witnessed totality from the eclipse said that it felt eerie and it was unsettling. I remember watching a program that saw the eclipse from space the shadow It cast on the planet which was really kind of cool but these people were trying to figure out what the hell it was. Are there suggesting that it was some sort of man-made disaster or some sort of swarm of insects because people aren't taking climate change seriously or whatever God du jure they want to project grass and revenge upon for people not listening to them.

    Oh that's really what it all boils down to is people don't listen to other people especially when they're saying stuff that's stupid.

    He wasn't a whole ass he was a man. But yeah he want happy that his love had a love child with zues.

    I like a band called clutch and they have a sing called release the kraken and I was listening to it when I created this profile. There is no deeper meaning there.

    It's weird you use the eclipse to whine about politicians saying stupid things.

    I used a magnifying glass instead of the dark sunglasses; now I can't see out of that eye.

    Coincidence?

    Go get your eyes checked asap. No it was not coincidence. You may have permanently damaged your eye. Both sun glasses and your magnifying glass would not have protected your eyes and the magnifying glass would have made it even worse. I am not trying to frighten you but geez man go get your eyes checked.

    Try doing the same thing with the other eye and if you can't see out of that one too, then it was no coincidence. That's science.
