Eclipse-watchers: looking at 99.9% totality is unsafe!
Eclipse-watchers: looking at 99.9% totality is unsafe!
On April 8, 2024, part of Canada will observe a total solar eclipse. When the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, many spectators will be plunged into temporary darkness.
Safety tips:
- Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe
- Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
- Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
- When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.

I don't know. This guy started at the eclipse and he seems like he's perfectly fine in every way.
So will his followers.
Oh dear Christ...
Meh, they go blind and can't vote because
-
they can't see and are too stupid/stubborn to ask for help.
-
they demonized mail-in-voting so much they won't do it.
I see it as an absolute win! [Banner Endgame jpeg]

Likely mostly Russian and Chinese trolls and useful idiots. People don't get this dumb without assistance.
I never bothered to look into this, is he looking up right when it's at a 100%? It'd be dark out, no?
He was not looking up when it was 100% dark out. You should be able to tell from the photo, but it he also just wasn't.
And now he's doing this. What the fuck? https://time.com/6964573/trump-bizarre-solar-eclipse-campaign-ad/
Oh ffs. He's such a vainglorious idiot that he doesn't even know he should be completely, totally, and irredeemably embarrassed for doing such a stupid thing...but no. There is nothing in him that is not infused with empty, unearned pride.
In his defense, it does look terrifying.
What a fucking dork

It was only partial in DC in 2017
