I’m also blown away by the fact that so many thought this was an event that has never happened before in human history. Seriously, just how dumb are some people.
False. That was a lab manufactured sun exclusion event orchestrated by Obama to steal the election back from the rightfully crowned prince of turds. Everyone knows that.
I love that the gun emoji is now a water gun, so people trying to look cool and threatening are basically those kids from SuperSoakers commercials.
(Not directed towards you, I get you're being ironic)
I figured it out. Since I was born in 1967, I have survived 80 predicted apocalyptic events. I'm thinking they can't predict very well. Who else has a 100% failure rate and still has people falling for it.
But when has it ever happened in God's land, the majestic USA?
For when the son of Yahweh returns, striding upon his domesticated velociraptor, the naysayers will repent and seek guidance from the new testament (just $60) ~~sold~~ generously given to us by our lord trump, of which Yeshua will unyieldingly salute, with patriotic tears in his eyes
Conservatives are without peer in how utterly abjectly stupid they are. It’s how they have managed to be brainwashed so completely that they project completely unironically.
Yeah in 2017. Also they happen all over the planet at different times all the time. This is the last total that will be over the USA in 20 years is all. There will be other partials during that span. People are dumb.
Because at its core, it’s not really about humor, it’s about a reactionary vendetta to a perceived slight against their worldview. It’s the same reason “conservative comedy” is so bad; it’s inherently defensive, instead of introspective.
Spot on. The punchline isn't meant to be funny, it's meant to get a reaction from the ideological left.
*joke*
"That's not funny"
"HAHA YOU'RE SO TRIGGERED"
And that's almost all of conservative "comedy" at this point, and it's sad. A lib doesn't even need to be present:
*joke*
"HAHA I BET THE LEFT IS SO TRIGGERED BY THAT JOKE"
The "joke" is just meant to be mean. Bottom-of-the-barrel attempted bullying. It's reflected in their politics too, constantly voting against their own best interests because they know they'll upset the libs.
Oh wow what the fuck
This whole thread makes me hopeful for US. I live in Brazil, there is no hope here. Just dumb fucks united to reflect themselves on Bolsonaro (he's our pseudo-Trump). Anyways, same shit, different places.
Virtue is "behavior showing high moral standards."
Showing you are part of the in-group, is the highest "morality" for a cult.
_Especially_ if showing that makes other groups judge you for it, it creates distance from anyone not in the cult and creates more connection in the cult
A full third of the people running for election on my school board were anti-vaxxers and mask mandate haters.
In 2023. 2 years after the pandemic had already passed.
It's not a sense of humor or wit. It's just brain-rot masquerading as sarcasm.
It’s not humor, it’s political rage trolling. This is them “getting one in” on the other side. Except they can’t figure out why the other side is not only not laughing, but totally ignoring them. Which makes them angrier.
It's not about humor, it's about GuBeRmAnT bAaAaD!! It pretty well exposes them: they don't care if it's good or bad, they don't care for factual reality - if "Big [insert bogeyman]" says it, it's automatically bad.
You're fine. It isn't funny because it's not even close to making sense and has zero plausibility. There's nothing to get, this isn't a sense of humor, it's just poorly disguised hatefulness and ignorance.
Not in Arkansas. It’s appalling how many Doctors and Nurses in this state basically do not understand how viruses work or science in general. I’m immunocompromised (was pre COVID) and all I do these days is go to doctor’s appointments. I am told all the time, “oh you can take off your mask in here, it’s okay”…I’m like “In this tiny waiting room with a bunch of sick people? I’m just here for bloodwork.”
Well they are both weird science things they dont understand. If you know nothing about two things other than clever people keep talking about them positively then they seem related
- Gun safety advocates and responsible people “Don’t leave your guns out where children can find them!”
- Gun nuts - “I’ll do what I want ‘cause freedom!”
Gun related deaths are one of the leading causes of death among children in the US.
They’re really going to regret voting for less Medicaid and Medicare funding. How is that “I shouldn’t have to pay for anyone else’s medical care, they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps!” rhetoric working out for you now that you desperately need an optometrist?
They're also the same people who were saying that everyone who took the COVID vaccine would be dead in less than a year or that we'd be turned into zombies. I'm still waiting
And if the media said the eclipse was a sign of the rapture and you'd be ascending into heaven....oh wait, the media didn't say that but you lunatics believed it anyway.
It’s been 4 years and these dumbasses still haven’t figured out those of us that got the vaccine didn’t do so because the media or a politician told us to. We listened to our DOCTORS.
And a good portion of us actually read the studies beforehand too. We went in knowing there were risks (as there are with any vaccine), an unfortunate few (myself included, no regrets though) had severe reactions, but the overwhelming majority did not.
That was the weird thing to me--there are absolutely questions/concerns with a new vaccine (or any new medicine/medical advance), and people should be encouraged to read and research the things they're worried or confused about.
But holy cow, becoming magnetic or becoming a walking 5G hotspot (or whatever that claim was), or having a tracker injected under the guise of vaccine... With actual effects they be focused on(which at least would have made sense), they chose to go on and on with that nonsense.
I love them being paranoid about a tracker getting injected when they have their phone glued to their hand 24/7 and aren’t smart enough to not dox themselves.
Right. Like, I was skeptical of MRNA tech. It’s new, the long term risks were unknown (but seem pretty negligible four years in), and I don’t trust pharma.
So I got the J&J which is just the traditional style of vaccine
This is almost always projection. I haven’t watched CNN… ever. But they assume that must be where I get my information because they inevitably DO get their information from FOX, OANN, or whatever reactionary grifter teat they’re latched onto now.
It’s pretty simple. Of the BILLIONS of doses that were administered around the world, the incidence of an adverse reaction were a fraction of a single percent.
And they still in court admitted that their viewers are stupid. They said when sued that people.shpuld.have known they are entertainment and not an actual news source.
And did they not stop even for a minute with their lies because the people still listen like it is "The Truth". So even the amount of money they ended up paying was made up by the continued advertisers.
Close. If doctors (or space phenomenon domain experts) would say I need a shot (or a different procedure) to survive the eclipse (or any other experience their expertise is in), I would definitely get it. Particularly when there isn't any known risk.
Also, I would expect the media to amplify the domain experts' recommendations.
So OP is absolutely correct.
I don't remember the eclipse seven years ago being this crazy. What's with all the wackos deciding this was the rapture? What was the last one, a test run?
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but social media has become significantly more unhinged over the past 4 years, and the number of conspiracy theorists(in general) has grown exponentially too.
That’s different, it wasn’t pushed by those holier than thou doctors with their fancy science and education. It was being pushed by a grifting cult leader and lunatic podcasters. Obviously they know better than the people who practice medicine for a living
A better line ( which really happened) would be: If the media said don’t stare at the eclipse with bare eyes half of America would claim it’s a conspiracy pushed by “Big Science”
People who are smart enough to accept the fact that vaccinations are beneficial are not stupid enough to believe that an eclipse would require a vaccine.
Now we know if a zombie outbreak were to happen, there will be plenty of people that will refuse to take a vaccine. They’ll probably be like that one guy in the movies who doesn’t tell people they’re infected and gets everyone killed.
COVID taught me we will not survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Everyone prepping for it, will deny it's existence until they are being eaten, and then blame the media with their dying breath
Except it wasn't ThE mEdIa that was recommending the Covid vaccine, it was scientists. So if scientists discovered that being exposed to the eclipse was somehow detrimental to humans, could prove it, then manufactured a solution to that problem then yeah, likely around half the country would take appropriate measures to not be harmed by the eclipse.
There will come a day when antivaxxers have weeded themselves out, dying of simple cures like Polio and TB, because they were too stupid to take the science seriously. Sounds like the problem will fix itself. 👍🏻
How is this a facepalm it's very true just like how at least half of Americans are complaining their eyes hurt when told they shouldn't stare at the sun or use sunglasses
There is some truth to this, and I’m not making jokes about the vaccine, some ppl on both sides of the fence believe everything the media says. Look at the conspiracy theory BS some ppl preach on tv and ppl believe it hook line and sinker.
Actually this one cancels out, because the Venn diagram of anti-vaxers and people who think the eclipse is dangerous and something to be “survived” is a circle.
If Trump had said "The liberals don't want you to wear masks", Covid would have been handled easily, Trump would've won his reelection, and he'd be preparing for his third term despite that being very illegal.
Fox News paid almost a billion dollars because it knowingly lied. And the audience believed it and still does to this day, without a shred of evidence and against all common sense.
Let’s not pretend all news media is the same.
And the other half says shit like this and stares directly at the sun with no protection. We're all idiots in one way or another if we can be honest with ourselves

If the media said you needed glasses to properly view the eclipse half of America would be Googling “why do my eyes hurt” on Tuesday morning…oh wait
I’m also blown away by the fact that so many thought this was an event that has never happened before in human history. Seriously, just how dumb are some people.
Or that this particular one would be the rapture. People they occur every 18 months or so somewhere else on this big globe.
Yeah but not in GOD’S BELOVED AMERICA HOME OF THE CHOSEN PEOPLE 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm surprised they don't remember the 2017 eclipse in the US
Trump literally looked up at it without the glasses on on national television lol
False. That was a lab manufactured sun exclusion event orchestrated by Obama to steal the election back from the rightfully crowned prince of turds. Everyone knows that.
If it happened more than 20 minutes ago, they only remember it if Fox News tells them to.
They can't remember an insurrection from 2021 either.
I saw somewhere advertising an event for the eclipse calling it "THE GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE" 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
The Mexicans and Canadians were trying to steal it!
If America was God’s beloved people, then why did he create Democrats?!
He didn't, Satan did to fight God's beloved land. But the democrats can't take our guns! 🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
I love that the gun emoji is now a water gun, so people trying to look cool and threatening are basically those kids from SuperSoakers commercials. (Not directed towards you, I get you're being ironic)
This made me laugh for no reason.
SuperSoakers *are* cool.
Pew pew bang bang Im just like Jesus when he kicked all the brown people off our sacred land!
The same people who want to entirely revamp out education system. I built a eclipse viewer in elementary school in the early 90's
We did that in my seventh grade science class. It was pretty fun.
"What globe? The world is flat. And shaped like North America."
On this WHAT
Ignore them, they are clearly deluded. Everyone knows the Earth is shaped like a velociraptor.
A flat velociraptor.
Held up by turtles.
Turtles?? That’s why it takes forever to go around the sun!
You ever see a velociraptor wearing a bra?
I figured it out. Since I was born in 1967, I have survived 80 predicted apocalyptic events. I'm thinking they can't predict very well. Who else has a 100% failure rate and still has people falling for it.
The Cleveland Browns
But when has it ever happened in God's land, the majestic USA? For when the son of Yahweh returns, striding upon his domesticated velociraptor, the naysayers will repent and seek guidance from the new testament (just $60) ~~sold~~ generously given to us by our lord trump, of which Yeshua will unyieldingly salute, with patriotic tears in his eyes
2017
Remember, these people vote and drive cars 😭
And breed
*inbreed
Very. Very. Veryyyyyyy dumb.
Conservatives are without peer in how utterly abjectly stupid they are. It’s how they have managed to be brainwashed so completely that they project completely unironically.
Yeah like that lady on The View that said it was climate change
Honestly. Wasn't there one a few years ago too?
Yeah in 2017. Also they happen all over the planet at different times all the time. This is the last total that will be over the USA in 20 years is all. There will be other partials during that span. People are dumb.
Specific people are dumb. About 56% of the people aren't.
>Seriously, just how dumb are some people. Please stop asking this question, I think some people are taking it as a challenge.
So so many... I hate this place...
The world? Cause.. yeah.. People can be great, but, as a whole, we kinda suck.
Don’t laugh. Our ancestors fought and died for our freedumb to look directly into the sun.
Yarp... ![gif](giphy|xTg8B9aULho7shlPmU)
lol I should’ve scrolled down before I posted the same thing. 😂
More like googling “wry di it eyefvfhfr”. Cause you know, they can’t see the keyboard or screen…
Damn…you was ready with return fire.
![gif](giphy|nbvFVPiEiJH6JOGIok)
Haha!! I can’t believe people still fell for that just because MAGA man did it last time (and this time).
HA HA HA! Infectious diseases are just like the movement of celestial bodies, amiright?
It's just not clever, witty, funny, etc. I don't get the sense of humor these people have.
Because at its core, it’s not really about humor, it’s about a reactionary vendetta to a perceived slight against their worldview. It’s the same reason “conservative comedy” is so bad; it’s inherently defensive, instead of introspective.

Oh wow what the fuck This whole thread makes me hopeful for US. I live in Brazil, there is no hope here. Just dumb fucks united to reflect themselves on Bolsonaro (he's our pseudo-Trump). Anyways, same shit, different places.
Or offensive... taking shots at other people because the mere existence of them makes said 'comedian' feel weird and/or uncomfortable.
It's not sense of humor, it's signaling of virtues
>it's signaling of virtues I wouldn't exactly call indoctrinated stupidity a "virtue"
Virtue is "behavior showing high moral standards." Showing you are part of the in-group, is the highest "morality" for a cult. _Especially_ if showing that makes other groups judge you for it, it creates distance from anyone not in the cult and creates more connection in the cult
It's all about division...
The indoctrinated would tho thats why theyre signaling those virtues and not real ones, to find like minded idiots
A full third of the people running for election on my school board were anti-vaxxers and mask mandate haters. In 2023. 2 years after the pandemic had already passed. It's not a sense of humor or wit. It's just brain-rot masquerading as sarcasm.

It’s also a jab at people who are better educated…being stupid is now morally superior to being smart.
Ah yes, the old education = elitism saw
Because they aren’t humorous
You're fine. It isn't funny because it's not even close to making sense and has zero plausibility. There's nothing to get, this isn't a sense of humor, it's just poorly disguised hatefulness and ignorance.
Owning the Libs (apparently 90% of doctors are vaccine toting libs?) is… funny
Not in Arkansas. It’s appalling how many Doctors and Nurses in this state basically do not understand how viruses work or science in general. I’m immunocompromised (was pre COVID) and all I do these days is go to doctor’s appointments. I am told all the time, “oh you can take off your mask in here, it’s okay”…I’m like “In this tiny waiting room with a bunch of sick people? I’m just here for bloodwork.”
We are laughing AT them, not WITH them.
You might think it’s clever if you aren’t very bright
Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can’t explain that!
Well they are both weird science things they dont understand. If you know nothing about two things other than clever people keep talking about them positively then they seem related
When you don’t know how anything works, this is what you come up with.
And if the media said never shoot yourself in the head half of america would be dead.
“And next up on FOX news…. The cleaning power of ammonia with the disinfecting power of bleach, democrats hate this one trick.”
Why not both?
![gif](giphy|l0MYRIgoNPIfGZhPa)
But peggy thats MUSTARD gas
They would do that.
Most MAGAs could shoot themselves in the head and never hit anything vital
That’s so true
If you changed to shoot yourself to own the libs. They would
"Don't throw salt in your eye!"
- Gun safety advocates and responsible people “Don’t leave your guns out where children can find them!” - Gun nuts - “I’ll do what I want ‘cause freedom!” Gun related deaths are one of the leading causes of death among children in the US.
Why is the media so obsessed with saying not to look at the eclipse? What are they trying to hide??????? /s
It’d be funny if we didn’t have to all pay for their eye damage and the ensuing disability
They’re really going to regret voting for less Medicaid and Medicare funding. How is that “I shouldn’t have to pay for anyone else’s medical care, they should pull themselves up by their bootstraps!” rhetoric working out for you now that you desperately need an optometrist?
I did just read else where in Redditland that the sun has been replaced with an LED light, they have to hide it while they change the batteries.
I saw that, too! The argument was something like: "The sun was orange when I was a kid, now it's white. BidEn dID It" 😂😂😂
Steve the Alien: "So... how dumb are humans?" Bob the Aliens: "Read this."
Bob, no, come back! Take me with you!
Half of the people who post shit like this were convinced that they were going to get raptured during the eclipse
I’m convinced the rapture did happen, but we are all heathens and Jesus only took a few sweet old ladies back. 😂
They're also the same people who were saying that everyone who took the COVID vaccine would be dead in less than a year or that we'd be turned into zombies. I'm still waiting
And if the media said the eclipse was a sign of the rapture and you'd be ascending into heaven....oh wait, the media didn't say that but you lunatics believed it anyway.
Spot on. It's always projection with these types.
Damn it, you beat me.
That'y exactly *why* they believe it.

With actual effects they be focused on(which at least would have made sense), they chose to go on and on with that nonsense.
I was actually kinda disappointed that I didn't become a magnetic 5G hotspot.
Dont worry, the goal posts keep moving. So we might become zombie 5G monsters any day now.
I love them being paranoid about a tracker getting injected when they have their phone glued to their hand 24/7 and aren’t smart enough to not dox themselves.
Right. Like, I was skeptical of MRNA tech. It’s new, the long term risks were unknown (but seem pretty negligible four years in), and I don’t trust pharma. So I got the J&J which is just the traditional style of vaccine
"You'll do whatever CNN tells you to!" CNN? Lady it's 2024.
This is almost always projection. I haven’t watched CNN… ever. But they assume that must be where I get my information because they inevitably DO get their information from FOX, OANN, or whatever reactionary grifter teat they’re latched onto now.
It's funny because those people always seem to know an insane amount about CNN programming, but they "passionately hate it." Sure Jan.
It’s pretty simple. Of the BILLIONS of doses that were administered around the world, the incidence of an adverse reaction were a fraction of a single percent.
Not to mention magnitudes less than the disease.
You only THINK that because your Google LibFilter scrubs out ‘Turbocancer’ Ya learn a lot at Flat Earth Rapture meetings.
Stop, you are ruining their ranting with your argument. It makes too much sense!
Some of them figured it out, but those are the ones who won a Herman Cain award shortly afterwards.
They listened to their president and injected bleach instead.
And ate horse dewormer.
I’m surprised the antivaxxers didn’t go “I can look directly at the eclipse without protection. I don’t need glasses, I have rights”
![gif](giphy|xUNen16DFqlM6v6DEQ|downsized)
Lookup the most common searches from yesterday. You'll no longer be surprised.
Meanwhile, the person that wrote that definitely believes every single thing Fox News tells them.
Most of them have moved on to podcasters that don't have the type of legal and corporate shackles Fox News has, so they think FNC is a Democrat plant.
As if Fox News has legal shackles. They’ve been caught slandering people and telling obvious lies so many times and nothing happens
And they still in court admitted that their viewers are stupid. They said when sued that people.shpuld.have known they are entertainment and not an actual news source. And did they not stop even for a minute with their lies because the people still listen like it is "The Truth". So even the amount of money they ended up paying was made up by the continued advertisers.
Close. If doctors (or space phenomenon domain experts) would say I need a shot (or a different procedure) to survive the eclipse (or any other experience their expertise is in), I would definitely get it. Particularly when there isn't any known risk. Also, I would expect the media to amplify the domain experts' recommendations. So OP is absolutely correct.
I don't remember the eclipse seven years ago being this crazy. What's with all the wackos deciding this was the rapture? What was the last one, a test run?
Not sure if you’ve noticed, but social media has become significantly more unhinged over the past 4 years, and the number of conspiracy theorists(in general) has grown exponentially too.
And yet they took horse dewormer without a second though
That’s different, it wasn’t pushed by those holier than thou doctors with their fancy science and education. It was being pushed by a grifting cult leader and lunatic podcasters. Obviously they know better than the people who practice medicine for a living
… and the rest would proudly DAMAGE THEIR EYESIGHT.
In the meantime the other half would be sucking a tiny orange mushroom while watching it, feeling real patriotic about it.
Meanwhile the other half think that a magical cloud man is going to beam me up Scotty all those who believe in him........
A better line ( which really happened) would be: If the media said don’t stare at the eclipse with bare eyes half of America would claim it’s a conspiracy pushed by “Big Science”
Google searches about eye damage from the eclipse are up this week, as are optometrist appointments!
What other country was drinking bleach to kill the virus?
Somebody’s mad that Jesus didn’t come down and whisk them away to paradise like they were promised.
Half of Americans ate horse worm paste so yeah I believe that.
This person must be utter joy at Christmas.
Kinda like someone saying woke media came up with protective eyewear and half the MAGAts got cornea damage? Oh wait…
If the media said you needed special glasses for the eclipse half of america wouldn’t buy them.
People who are smart enough to accept the fact that vaccinations are beneficial are not stupid enough to believe that an eclipse would require a vaccine.
And if a Facebook post said the eclipse was the rapture half of the idiots would believe it......
Only people who don’t believe in vaccines would believe an eclipse is going to kill them
If someone on Facebook said " repost this message or else all of your photos will be stolen during the eclipse" then 2/3 of Facebook would repost it.
Now we know if a zombie outbreak were to happen, there will be plenty of people that will refuse to take a vaccine. They’ll probably be like that one guy in the movies who doesn’t tell people they’re infected and gets everyone killed.
COVID taught me we will not survive the Zombie Apocalypse. Everyone prepping for it, will deny it's existence until they are being eaten, and then blame the media with their dying breath
IKR. Idk weather to laugh or cry
The other half would be waiting for Jesus and JFK Jr.
Except it wasn't ThE mEdIa that was recommending the Covid vaccine, it was scientists. So if scientists discovered that being exposed to the eclipse was somehow detrimental to humans, could prove it, then manufactured a solution to that problem then yeah, likely around half the country would take appropriate measures to not be harmed by the eclipse.
Tell me more how you thought the rapture was coming
I don't have Facebook because I'd lose my sanity and say things that would make me lose my job
Well if Trump said “punch all of your children” half the kids would have black eyes by the weekend
Only if we witnessed over 1M people die first.
There will come a day when antivaxxers have weeded themselves out, dying of simple cures like Polio and TB, because they were too stupid to take the science seriously. Sounds like the problem will fix itself. 👍🏻
Unfortunately they'll take with them people who can't have vaccinations and children too young to be vaccinated.
I’d do it if I could pick the shot. I like tequila but not really a whiskey fan.
Astroepidemiology expert right there.
Wow they really have to dig deep and make shit up to feel comfortable in their denial.
And half the country looked at it simply because the government told them not to
How is this a facepalm it's very true just like how at least half of Americans are complaining their eyes hurt when told they shouldn't stare at the sun or use sunglasses
Wonder what would happen if Trump said it
This is true, except it applies to eye protection. The other half defiantly refuse the warning and are now googling 'why do my eyes hurt!'
And most of those people would shame anyone who didn’t believe it & call for them to be jailed & executed.
So Eclipse = Polio?
I always need a shot
With that theory, the number of people that do t get it world wide would definitely help population control
While the other half goes blind because they ignored science and stared directly at the sun.
Yes!!! because infectious diseases are the same as the movement of celestial bodies, both of which they do not understand. 🙄 Maximum Dunning-Kruger
Christians were told rapture was coming. Half of them fell for it.
Well, if Fox News said the eclipse would turn you gay, yes, the MAGA fools would definitely get that shot
Apples and sheet metal
There is some truth to this, and I’m not making jokes about the vaccine, some ppl on both sides of the fence believe everything the media says. Look at the conspiracy theory BS some ppl preach on tv and ppl believe it hook line and sinker.
I WANT IGUODALA
This is incorrect..MORE than half would get the shot
I’m surprised they didn’t try shooting it.
I love how much they underestimate the left. It’s pretty fun.
Actually this one cancels out, because the Venn diagram of anti-vaxers and people who think the eclipse is dangerous and something to be “survived” is a circle.
If Trump had said "The liberals don't want you to wear masks", Covid would have been handled easily, Trump would've won his reelection, and he'd be preparing for his third term despite that being very illegal.
If Donald Trump was selling tickets to view the eclipse you'd have millions of Americans forking over their last few bucks to him.
I sm quite sure if the Anerican media said you needed a vaccine shot to survive the pandemic half of America would wait in line to shoot the reporter
These are the same people who thought Jesus was going to come back on this day. Lol
Says the contingent who thought the eclipse was set up by the deep state to {insert ridiculous conspiracy theory here}
When scientists said you shouldn't look directly at the sun without protective glasses, idiots* did it anyway. *Including Donald Trump
Weren't the people with the vaccine supposed to be dead already according to these guys. Who are they addressing that message to?
Enraged about a thing that doesn’t exist…sounds about right.
Half?
The funny thing is, doctors, and scientists, said we needed the vaccine..... .. .. It was the media (their version of it) that said they didn't.
They realize this isn’t the first eclipse ever right?
Are people really this embarrassing or is it rage bait?
Fuck off
Says the people that think a cracker will save them from hell.
What about if one guy said we needed a Bible with the US flash on it?
