A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

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.
We might need light for a few other things, too. :)
Like finding the car keys in the first place!
You're right. How are we gonna ever beat Boktai without the sun?
I didn't see it, so I think I would be fine.
Jesus. You can't even see a solar eclipse everywhere when it does happen. Travel really does broaden the mind, I suppose.
Interestingly, there are actually weren't any such people. AFAIK

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.
Was it the occultation ceremony? Please, not the occultation ceremony.
No, it was usually the rapture.
