WTF Eclipse 2024!

[eileenbunny]

You should have. Totality and the eclipse were literally like two different events. It was fucking amaziing.

I agree, I've seen 90% before and it was interesting, but totality was definitely something different. I'm glad we drove all that way to see it.

The only real terror of this whole thing was the traffic afterwards
All those people getting on the roads in the middle of nowhere to head home as the same time
Holy shit

We didn't experience any traffic issues at all. I guess that's the good part about choosing to watch this in Cleveland. Nobody wants to go to Cleveland.

What area of Cleveland did you watch the eclipse at? I was about 20 miles east.

No, it was not totality in 2017. It sounds like you have not experienced totality.

Its like your opinion sure, but have you seen totality? Seriously 99% aint even close to the same thing.

You're sounding like some medieval bumpkin.

I mean, did you even look at the black hole sun and its corona? Wow. To each their own I guess.

Yes, it's just not that interesting to me.

 

[fly]

Well it is to some of us.

 

[Jehannum]

Well it is to some of us.

So you could possibly be overselling it, seeing as not everyone has the object permanence of a toddler like some people in this thread.

I thought it was really cool that it looked like a 360 degree sunset.

 

[eileenbunny]

Well it is to some of us.

I agree, the weird ripple shadows on the ground, seeing the stars and planets in the daytime, the 360 degree sunset, the colors, the corona. It was definitely very cool.

Dude, let it go. Myself and others thought it was really cool. Its okay if you don't.

You do you. Don't tell people how they should feel about it though.

 

[fly]

You do you. Don't tell people how they should feel about it though.

If you think I was demanding that, then I can't apologize enough to you.
