Weren’t there some people worried about the end of the world with the most recent solar eclipse?
Sounds reasonable. If the sun gets stuck behind the moon there we’d be toast because we need light to see stuff and where we’re driving.
There was at least one lady who thought it was the rapture.
I wish they were right because it would be awesome if all religious fundies were taken somewhere else. Too bad they often aren’t good people and many, if not most, would end up being left behind. Imagine the tantrums when they realize they’ve missed the rapture. I bet we’d see a rise in Satanism that wasn’t just a front to challenge Christian bias in religious rights but instead a rebellion against a god that spurned them. And then I wonder if they’d be surprised that atheists still want nothing to do with them.
I was in the path of totality. Which was amazing, but there were a LOT of people crowing about “something” happening during/after the Eclipse.
well *gestures at everything* isn’t it just kind of common knowledge now?
Guys! Guys! I just figured it out! The last couple years, we’ve been living in a Monthy Python sketch! Now it all makes sense!
Cause it ended in 2012, remember?
Remember? Before the fucking fever dream reality we entered?
If by “a while” you mean 1 month, then sure. There were tons of conspiracy theorists saying that the world was going to end on April 8th due to the solar eclipse.
Kinda like The Onion, such things are in a tough spot.
