WTF Eclipse 2024!

Apparently there's some Christian rumor that 4/8 is the Rapture. They seemingly have no idea that eclipses happen 2-5 times a year, among other things.
 
They gave the kids here a day off school, I assume so that the schools don’t get blamed for the idiot kids staring at the sun

In good old 'murica fashion, we instead got a letter that the eclipse was NOT a valid reason to pull your kid from school, and would be considered an unlawful absence.

My company had a meeting with us the other day to tell us they ordered glasses for everyone and we are allowed to stop working and watch the eclipse while it's happening. Probably over half my company has taken the day off and no truck lines are operating after 2 PM in our area. We should just shut down for the day.
