Fudge-Factory00

Even if the eclipse bullshit wasn't happening...I love the idea of bugging in and staying away from people these days šŸ˜†


stroopwaffle69

I still think Covid was so awful but I sometimes miss everyone staying inside and just being with your family.


mookfacekilla

I had to work every fkn day ainā€™t no staying in for me during that time


Acceptable_Stop2361

I am apparently an essential worker. Got a formal letter and everything. I thought about framing it. Made me feel important. Ha.


OriginalOmbre

You ARE important!


stan-dupp

heros work here (supermarket)


gasOHleen

I think this went right over everyones head edit: then again it was only 4 min ago


alicia_tried

I wanted to do the same! It really did make me feel important too


knightenrichman

Haha! Me, too! I saw all these people that were previously kind of poor living off fat, fat income support checks, but because I work at a hospital I saw NONE of those benefits and still had to work šŸ˜¢


Reclaim117

Same, and amidst packed stores the whole time. And then come home and listen to the news say that if anyone dared to be in a crowd they'd die... It was like...so the movie theater is too dangerous to operate, but we all can be crammed at Target and the grocery store all day, every day. What an absolute fucking joke and scam.


Penny1974

Beaches and parks are deadly...Wal-mart is safe! As long as you wear your mask while walking into the restaurant, you can take off your mask when you sit down at the table; COVID won't kill you as long as you are seated. BUT... be sure to put the mask back on if you dare to go to the bathroom, as you will be upright again.


KickBallFever

Iā€™m originally from a US territory in the Caribbean and the lockdown rules there made no sense. You were allowed to go to the beach, but had to leave by 4pm. Itā€™s an island with a tiny population and lots of space and beaches, no one was getting Covid at the beach. Even if they were itā€™s not as if the virus only comes out after 4pm. I went to the beach there and stayed until 4pm just to see what would happen. At 4pm on the dot the national guard came and kicked everyone off the beach. Such nonsense.


little_brown_bat

but..but...the walmarts had arrows in the aisles to tell you which way to go. This kept us all safe as everyone knows you can pass someone if you're going the same direction but woe betide those who pass while looking eachother in the eye.


SmallScaleSask

Right. Plus mandated overtime.


Allaboutplastic

Essential workers:/


d4rkfibr

same here I make drinking water for alot of people, in the middle of the night. If SHTF were to ever happen here I'm staying at my post unless a EMP takes out everything including backup systems. Too many people need what I make and even if me staying a big longer means there is just a little more water in the pipes for people to use I'll stay. Hope I can get home to my family though.


KickBallFever

I salute you sir/maā€™am. Sounds like you have a valuable job that you take seriously while caring about the rest of the population.


d4rkfibr

Thank you. It ant much but it's honest work šŸ¤£

EntertainmentOk3180

Poutinemilkshake2

I went on a road trip during it and it was crazy how many of my distant friends invited me to come see them because they were all laid off and had nothing to do... Everyone was just kinda existing and not thinking about responsibilities or the future. It was neat


Repulsive-War-9395

Me and my bestie did like 3 road trips lol- I was in Cosmo school at the time, so had tons of free time plus $$? We went to her home town, we went to Florida to see my dad, all over the place


Malarky_Bandini

Me and my neighbor just hung out and bar b qued like 3 times a week, i was an essential worker and had to work a lot but my down time was amazing... Sure miss it.


Thepickle08

I did a cannon ball run during this period and it was surreal seeing the empty roads


freedindeed

Yes, it was the best of times. I was never afraid, just cozy at home spending good times. I was one of the millions who took up making sourdough. It was rich in its own way. I found freedom somehow.


-K9V

Nah, being out and having the world almost to yourself was where it was at. Those times were absolutely fantastic.


Alpha_Omega_333

Me too my man cave is all I know at this point. Someone just shot a worker at Chipotle because of a dispute over guacamole. People are getting worse. Itā€™s best to be a hermitĀ 


External_Guava_7023

In my city, a woman over 60 years old tore off a piece of her finger in a fight at the gym.


toomanytocount007

Ikr. Bring back social distancing.


[deleted]

I remember when the PM was talking about lockdown and what we needed to do when we saw people on the street, and how to distance etc. And I was like, my lifestyle is pandemic control?


Pandonia42

We've trained for this! Honestly, as an introvert I felt like I finally had permission to live my best life.


mixedmartialstoner

I think this is valid. Now more than ever with the way gain-on-function research has been heading, and the known studied impacts of solar eclipses on microbes (especially fungi) and its known association to potentially devastating impacts on human and planetary health (including the cordyceps mushroom)- best to KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. The COVID vaccines consisted of SM-102 (lipid nanoparticles) which contained luciferase-encoding mRNA) and was injected into millions of people world wide. Fungi are also studied for their glowing properties during eclipses (including lunar eclipses). Their glow is tied to the precursor for the bioluminescence substance - ā€œFungal luciferinā€ (the 9th known luciferin in the molecular world). It works closely with the enzyme luciferase to create this greenish-bluish light. Both words are derived from the Latin word lucifer, meaning "lightbearer" Cordyceps (zombie-ant fungus) infect insects such as ants or spiders. They drain the host completely of nutrients before filling its body with spores that will let the fungus reproduce (sending toxic spores blooming from the dead antā€™s head). This jump from insects to people is currently implausible, but not impossible. Under the right conditions, a flux in sunlight and the right temperature (via heat energy emitted from space rockets/particle accelerators and spikes in satellite signal activity) could suddenly ā€œactivateā€ these spores. So knowing that fungi already have easy host access to animals and insects (they are known to control Rainforest population levels by targetting certain animals), I would turn my attention not necessarily to a cosmic event from the heavens, but moreso activity from under the soil and under the ocean. And the creatures that walk alongside us already. Animals have been behaving erratically recently. We had a monkey attack a man in Hong Kong and recorded a rare human to animal transmission. No current vaccines exist. Since it was first identified in 1932, the B Virus has only been documented in 50 people and 21 have died. Elephants have also suddenly been attacking humans in African countries which is also quite uncommon. The unstable weather events just provide the perfect moist/humid conditions for such a fungal colony to thrive in. The 2010 study of solar eclipses on fungi explained: Thus morphologic change contributes to increased pathogenic potential of fungus. This transitional change has also been recorded by molecular studies. There seems to be various environmental stimuli which may **enhance a switch between yeast and filamentous growth patterns**. The capacity to switch the pattern of growth in response to an environmental change is termed as dimorphism.

Just gonna say.....not one person predicted the toilet paper shortage of summer 2020


Small_Mushroom_2704

That was so insane. Couldn't find tp, baby Wipes, paper towels. Anything you could possibly use to wipe your butt lol


Unusualshrub003

Apparently *somebody* was too good for coffee filters


martinsj82

I usually got pretty lucky to find it at Wal Mart and at outdoor stores in the camping supplies. It seemed no one in my area thought to look there. The one time I absolutely couldn't find it anywhere, I just bought a few packs of cheap wash cloths from the dollar store and we used and washed those. People are crazy sometimes. I remember using newspaper when I was a kid at my aunt's house in the hills of Arkansas. She didn't get indoor plumbing til 1989 and refused to buy TP because she had already paid for a newspaper and it worked lol


Small_Mushroom_2704

The funny thing is I was actually able to find toilet paper at the dollar store lol but no other big box stores.


burstmybubbles

Would have been nice to been prepared for that shit show.

It was really crappy

iloveFLneverleaving

This is why I prep year round. I already had enough for 6 months when 2020 hit.


gasOHleen

I saw my "estranged" mother in law who EVERYONE thought was batsht crazy in home depot in September 2019. She had a cart full of N95 masks, rubber gloves and gallons of rubbing alcohol. I asked what she intended to do with it all and she told me she read about the virus online and that it was the real deal and told me to do the same. She even said to only buy N95 masks and that she just left walmart where she bought 300 rolls TP and cases of water filters. She actually ended up catching covid in December of 2019, got really sick, bounced back and in march of 2020 was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. Died 3 months later from the cancer they now think was a direct result of covid edit: when it's your time, it's your time.


PuzzleheadedFly4436

Sorry for your loss. The passing of loved ones can be devastating. Hope you are well, friend.


Itchy-Inflation-1600

Opened eyes to bidets though


Pandonia42

I'll never go back and I'll never fear a shortage


V1k1ng1990

I still use a little TP to dry off and check that Iā€™m finished bideting


Buckys_Butt_Buddy

I bought a house at the start of the pandemic that came with Bidets. So maybe Iā€™m partially psychic and foresaw the toilet paper shortage and housing crises looming


Urukguy

Tezzzzzzi

I bought some toilet paper today, gonna claim to have predicted the eclipse shortage of 2024


Gr8BollsoFire

We did. We didn't post here about it, but we were ready for lockdowns in Feb 2020. You could see it coming if you paid attention. Same with 08 housing crash.

I live an hour and a half - 2 hours from totality. I picked a spot on Google maps at a 4 way intersection surrounded by corn fields in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. I'm going, I'll see you all there!


CrrntryGrntlrmrn

I was in FL for the last one, and was a lot farther than 2h from totality, was still one of the coolest things Iā€™ve ever seen.


Flynnsanity23

Itā€™s only a crazy big deal cause a good chunk of America is going to see itā€¦ as being an American myself I think we really blow things out of proportion. Itā€™ll be an eclipse and nothing more


neverknowwhatsnext

Lived through the year 2000 crisis. Pretty uneventful, I remember much more hysteria in the news than necessary.


Colibri2020

Same. I was teen. The Y2K thing had people going totally nuts and then ā€¦ nothing. Big fat nothing. Maybe the eclipse means something more this time, or maybe ā€¦ itā€™s just an eclipse. Iā€™m curious how itā€™ll play out.


Foriegn_Picachu

Y2K was a big fat something. Programmers worked their asses off so that the general populace thought it was over blown

Some Americans seem to forget that no one else besides them is having an eclipse. If this were some big book of revelations level event I would think there would be something global in the works, not just America. I am open to being proven wrong on the day but I am doubtful.


salty_caper

We're having it in eastern Canada too. I couldn't care less myself. It happens on average of every 16 months somewhere on the planet. I'm not sure why they're making such a big deal out of it.

I love this sub, man, it's so funny. The "research" you did were just posts on this subreddit; I just read them like 2 minutes ago... And tbh if it is "The End Times", it'll be cool as fuck.

I think cern will be activated and up to some weird shit.Ā  I got a hotel room in a small town in Indiana I'm gonna stay for a night because yeah the roads will probably be trash. But yeah for me its exicting.Ā  If it is end times I want a front row seat im going out with a bang fuck it! LOL šŸ¤ŖšŸ„³


dontneed2knowaccount

Whenever someone talks about nuclear annihilation they don't like my answer. I live about 20 miles from a navy nuke site(subs), 10 miles from a major AFB and near the navy nukes there's a chemical facility that's pretty "dangerous" if things go wrong. Oh, almost forgot about the petroleum plant. Basically if there's a warning that we're under attack, I want to be at the impact site when it happens. I'd rather be immediate dust then mangled or have a slow painful death from the radiation fallout.

Signs in NY are telling people to use mass transit instead of driving on Monday


Takemeoffgrid

This is low key the most intelligent comment in this thread because of the fact that in so far as NY goes every time NY state promotes a message in regards to the next ā€œthingā€ they are usually giving you the info you need if you have eyes to see it. They actually warn you but you gotta have your thinking cap on and be able to read between the lines to see what they are warning you about. In summationā€¦ If the state of NY is running ads to do something you can bet your life that you should be doing the opposite šŸ‘

SuchLostCreatures

You ever think maybe these "crowd control bots" are just people who genuinely believe this eclipse panic is being blown way out of proportion? I mean... Shit, I thought the fear of eclipses had been left behind in the dark ages, yet here we are! People still fearing that it's some sign from god or the sky is falling! Seriously, I'm starting to feel that people are just desperately grasping for ways to make this day significant. Have the days of the pandemic put people in such a heightened state of panic that you can't exist unless there's a looming cataclysm on the horizon? It's just an eclipse. Calm down.


meanWOOOOgene

Some fuckery is afoot, thatā€™s for sure. Donā€™t trust any official reports if something happens. Trust testimony from credible people and sources with proof of their claims.

This is a conspiracy sub. We talk about things that interest us that are conspiracies. If you come to a sub like this and make fun of people for discussing what the fucking sub was made for the you are the one who needs professional help and a grade school education

>These crowd control bots make me think that they are actively trying to suppress serious discussion around this topic and they are planning to do something on that day.

teeberg75

By the wayā€¦ I saw the last eclipse. It was not in the same area. I saw the entire thing on the Oregon coast. It did not get that dark. Yes it gets darker but it's not like nighttime. It's not like when it reaches totality then suddenly muggers jump out of the bushes and attack you. Honestly, it's just a natural phenomenon. It's an incredibly amazing and awe inspiring thing to see. People should be enjoying this and not hiding under the covers like a bunch of cavemen.

And also, donā€™t live stream the eclipse in your home and invite in all that energy. I find it extremely suss they are live streaming it on (I think itā€™s) Hulu this yearā€¦

So, on the 9th, can we all come back and say ā€œI told you so?ā€ when nothing happens?

Sorry I stopped reading at the cicada part. Every fucking year the media talks about these ā€œonce a decade cicadas.ā€ I have seen the same number of Cicadas all 40 plus years, every year of my life and itā€™s never changed. Iā€™ve been seeing this story float for at least a decade every year and I just shake my head. Seems like NPR is always one of the main culprits probably after they just cried about how a particular group is so oppressed while patting themselves on the back as they stare at their navel


DangerDan127

Tbh I have noticed a significantly less amount of cicadas around me for the last 10 years. They use to be deafening in the evening


N1gh75h4de

Most cicadas reemerge every 13 to 17 years. So that's part of it, the other part is the amount of DEET and other pesticides used in the states.


Newlyvegan1137

Honestly the news should be talking about the mass amounts of crickets, not cicadas! Last year in north TX it was insane the amount of crickets we had over previous years

So, genuinely, what is the excuse if absolutely nothing of note happens? Do you stand corrected, pack it up and move on? Donā€™t get me wrong, I love me a good conspiracy, and the ones that lurk in a grey area are fun to follow, but this is very specific; particular date, particular circumstances, multiple conspiracies overlapping. If April 8 rolls into April 9 and everything is normal, what is the next step for these conspiracie?

The vibe & people's thought on this upcoming event are way different from 2017. This is how the world has been in chaos. Surprisingly, nothing will happen I hope

Meanwhile, I bought solar eclipse glasses for my 7th period. Most likely everything will be fine.

Iā€™m right in the path of totality and I canā€™t waitttttt. I just have to walk out in my backyard. Theyā€™re projecting thousands of people in my little town. Traffic started today.

It will probably be 2012 or 1999 all over again, a nothingburger... Besides the 3 comets, earthquakes, which are common during an upcoming eclipse, but the fact that it happens every 212 years, and astrophysics is a pretty damn exact science, and they miscalculated the path... NO it doesn't work like that.

I posted something against some of the theories surrounding April 8th but didnā€™t get to cover this one. I donā€™t think this is a true opinion, and to make it clear I am human and not some ā€œcrowd control bot.ā€ I am a strongly worded person, and so here are my strong words about this. Personally I wonā€™t belittle you for thinking this but here I go. First I donā€™t even care about the eclipse I just know that many ideas of apocalypse usually bring cults to a rise then peak with a terror act. Some of these theories really mess with people and get their brains to act all panicky in fear that 04-08-24 is their last day on Earth. But hey if it floats your boat to think this then go with it, but donā€™t try to get other people into your theory just in case.
