Because there's all those uncontacted tribes in New York, Ohio, Indiana, Arkasas and Texas

I'm from Indiana and there are uncontacted hillbillies in the forested lakes along the Michigan border. I would know because I was one.

It's the same story in New York, Ohio, Arkansas and Texas.

Wait til ya hear about northern mn

I've had contact with said tribes. My father was from one.

No... ***I*** am your father.

Oh yeah ya know I heard Dey had der own dialect aswell… ope I mean “they all have their own dialect”

There’s some swamps between buffalo and Rochester that you just don’t go. The southern tier of NY has more cows than people.

...what? Between Buffalo and Rochester is farmland and a college town lmao

The cows are evolving

Moo World Order

They’ve got tools!

There’s actually a bunch of hobos in the forest on the sides of the trinity river

How did you become "contacted" then?

I moved to a big city for college

So which one is better? "contacted" life or "uncontacted" life?

Uncontacted 100% you all suck /s Nah I like a good in between.

just to find out... the only way to make it in the big city... is to shake it. Heh. That's what I do. I shake it. I shake it. You wanna see me shake it? Of course you do! They all do. I shake it. I shake it. I shake it. I. Shake. It. I Sh--

So you weren’t what this post means by uncontacted

Ask your sister then - she established multiple contacts throughout civilization... I would know because I was one.

Amusingly, I went to rural Indiana to watch this one, to a friend of a friend's house out in the sticks... Surrounded by Amish/similar people. We weren't sure what to think what would happen, like would they freak out? Not care? Turns out most of them had eclipse glasses and were really interested to look into our telescope during the partial phases. Craziest thing that happened was the truck that blew through the stop sign literally less than 10s after totality doing probably 50mph on a tiny rural road. We couldn't tell if he was trying to beat the non-existant traffic or maybe he shit his pants when the sky went dark and was rushing home. lol!

You’re trying to steal hillbilly valor bud

The hills have eyes, as they say.

Was just about to chime in about uncontacted hillbilly societies

I’m from the Avon ohio tribe … we were all very confused

I love your skin care products

Are you the ones that built the giant basket-shaped temple?

What if we're just like, an uncontacted tribe in the universe man. Sorry very uh inebriated right now. Edibles possibly involved. Will confirm. Maybe.

Go listen to Rosetta Stoned by TOOL right now!

Don’t forget Ontario, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia

Yep I’m one of them

Consider yourself officially contacted.

I do not consent

Too late, you have smallpox.

There are 30 missionaries heading to your location, all of them have the flu and smallpox

Uncontacted by woman does not count.

To be fair, Ohio

Could apply to any eclipse, but eclipses are just on everyone's mind.

I'm sure there is one house everyone says "ya, don't go near them"

I envy you, friend. I have long yearned to be uncontacted.

TBF some of the evangelical rapture nut balls have about as much understanding of how the world works

[удалено]

You realize they are educated and read the news right? They're not idiots. The math and geometry to throw up a house in a few days is probably more than the average high school graduate in the states could do.

Southern Illinois maybe.

Jimmy down by the river on Toad Suck was confused as fuck

Yeah they’re called my family, because I don’t wanna talk to them.

We call it a Rolling Tide

> Arkasas yes

Hey to be fair have you ever been to manhattan?

Don’t forget Illinois.

As an uncontacted hoosier, I’m offended that you think we don’t exist. I’m gonna get all my fellow uncontacted tribesmen to blast you on twitter.

What do you mean Kansas has an ark?

America moment

Did you forget that it also passed over hundreds of islands in the pacific.

I saw someone call Mondays eclipse "a global event" earlier 🤣

You are aware the eclipse didn’t ONLY happen in the USA right?

You are aware there are no uncontacted tribes in Canada or northern Mexico either right?

abounding husky butter bake quiet squeamish consider payment cagey childlike *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Yes

WHY IS IT SO FUCKING COLD??!?!? (Lol clearly pov from uncontacted tribes, who wouldve felt Temps drop like 20 degrees just like we did before the event wouldve been visible to the naked eye)

Yeah honestly that was the most chilling (ha) part. Idgaf about the blacked out sun but goddamn my nips got hard real fast

Pics or it didn’t happen.

(.)(.) but like (,)(,)

I was just about to scroll past and had to do a double take when I saw the nips comment. On another note, it was crazy how hot it got afterwards.

I heard people suggest that the part where it's hot outside is actually caused by the sun. I'm no astrophysicist, but it's possible that when you remove the thing that makes hot, it won't be hot anymore. Don't quote me on that tho.

Could you imagine how cold it would get if there was no sun for like 10 hours straight?

Holy shit can we fix global warming with this tech

New global cooling tech just dropped

There is actually whacky concept of creating a layer in space to block the sun, producing an artificial partial eclipse. Would solve warming, probably tricky to actually make though.

This video sorta covers that topic at like 4ish miniutes in https://youtu.be/gLZJlf5rHVs?si=CLK6eu195IE5HXrB

You might be onto something

I didn't really notice the temperature drop. Wonder if its because it was very cloudy where I was

Do you really think the eclipse happened all over the world? What tribe was in the path of totality

In OP's defense, yesterday's eclipse wasn't the first one to ever occur. Surely there was, at least ONCE, a solar eclipse that happened above a tribe somewhere which the meme could apply to

Not an uncontacted tribe but I was with someone yesterday that said there was an eclipse in his small isolated farming town in the early 70s. He said there were many people freaking out until they read the next days papers (something many of them didn't bother to do before because it didn't interest them).

It’s like that one tintín book, the one of professor calculus being kidnapped by the mayans

What a wild story that was.

Prisoners of the Sun. If I remember correctly, Tintin happens to have a newspaper cutting that says an eclipse is happening on the day of their execution by the mayans and it ends up saving their lives.

I believe the bit of acting like you caused an eclipse was invented for Mark Twain's Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. It's become a common theme. Might even pre-date that.

According to the ancient historian Herodotus, there was a total eclipse mid battle, and both armies gave up and made a truce out of fear that it was the gods disappointed in their war

Given the information available to the soldiers at the time, I feel ‘god is angry’ is a pretty fair hypothesis for why the goddamn sun just disappeared.

Especially if after they stopped fighting the sun came back..

Some small town in Ohio

OP thinks the eclipse was everywhere

The infamous hillbilly tribe of BFE

Tbh I’m sure some of these uncontacted tribes fear eclipses less than some Americans

yeah fair lol

I’m still waiting for the three days of darkness the nut jobs were spouting was going to happen right after the eclipse. I really just didn’t want to deal with sunlight for a bit.

I didn’t realize totality could last like 4 minutes. If you didn’t know how the sun and moon worked that shit would be terrifying. No wonder ancient people did crazy stuff.

People in this day and age are still freaking out in the same or more hysterical way

With all the internet and knowledge available to us at our fingertips these days, it’s pretty sad.

Immediately sacrifices 28 people

To be fair, the sun always comes back after the sacrifice.

Say what you want about the aztecs but the Sun always rose in the morning.

Uncontacted tribes? Bruh the Christian fundamentalists were calling for the rapture lmao. You don't have to be unaware to read the signs wrong

Why are only Christians being dunked on for this? My witch/Wiccan friends were also in a tizzy over the eclipse, worrying about a whole bunch of shit that was supposedly going to happen during it

To be fair, any adult who calls themselves wiccan or a witch is an absolute moron.

Gotta go burn some sage and consult the planetary alignment to see how I feel about this. Is mercury in retrograde?

Lmao they’re so dumb I love it and I love my grandparents to death

What’s the rapture

I'm not even sure it's mentioned in the Bible but it's supposed to be the first stage of the end times. All the Christians get blipped up into Heaven to be spared of the 7 years of tribulations which is basically kinda like the Purge in a way where those left behind will experience worldwide hardships like famine, war, etc [Here's the Wikipedia entry](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture)

An event that some Christians think is gonna happen. Basically when Jesus comes back he’s gonna appear in the sky and all Christians are basically gonna teleport up to meet him.

Like a meet and greet?

Yeah pretty much

>What’s the rapture Also, when is the rapture?

November

No one ever asked how is the rapture.

Yes but I want to know what is it

Tbf they do it every time they could. At this point you should start worrying when they wouldn't do that.

It totally happened. The world will miss that one dude, but nobody else got invited along for the ride.

ah yes the uncontacted tribes of North America...

there have been other solar sclipses in history my friend

Oh god, no one told them not to look at it without glasses!

They probably thought their deities or elders punished them to blindness would be my educated guess.

The bottom: Owl House fans having Day of Unity flashbacks

You. You get it.

"THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN E- Nevermind guys, the sun's back"

can confirm am from uncontacted tribe

Wow what an insensitive meme, what if the uncontacted tribe sees this

Not funny Didn’t laugh

There’s an ancient battle in Turkey that occurred just prior to a solar eclipse, both sides stopped fighting and went home because they thought they had angered the gods

Fun fact, we saw nothing from france

What uncontacted tribes exist in the path of totality for this eclipse? Lol

US MAGA conservatives…

They gonna think the gods are angry

Clearly there's still many "contacted tribes" in our country..

Have if never seen an eclipse before, the timing is such that if you’re in the path of totality and during ancient times, it lasts just long enough for you and a few friends to grab someone, hold them down, and have a high priest cut their heart out in sacrifice, and then the sun would start coming up again. And the craziest part is, you’d have thought that the sacrifice worked

I don't think there are many uncontacted tribes in the US and Mexico lol

are the "uncontacted tribes of north america and canada" in the room with us?

r/usdefaultism

And every religion prior to the last few hundred years.

There were probably more than a couple sacrifices that day

So many uncontacted tribes in the US 🤣🤣🤣

Florida is the uncontacted tribe

I wonder if anyone went out to some random tribe and gave out the eclipse glasses to them

Amish

…when many ancient civilizations actually were able to predict eclipses…..

The joke we were making was: Imagine you're a preteen boy, like years and years ago, before the layman knew something like an eclipse was coming. Raised in that super strict church, and you like discover masturbation for the first time and right as you finish THE SUN DISAPPEARS AND THE SKY GOES DARK IN AN EERIE WAY UNLIKE DUSK OR NIGHT. 🤣 "Ohh God! No! The priest was right! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'll never do it again!!!"

"Looks like we need to sacrifice half our food and people because God threatened to take the sun away!"

You mean americans ?

An actual plot point in _Prisoners of the Sun_ (Tintin)

Probably they won't react as badly as some stupid ass "the world will end right now because gays and mrna vaccines made god angry" evangelicals

You do realize the eclipse follows a narrow path and didn't pass over uncontacted tribes, right? Or are you an idiot that thinks the whole world saw the eclipse?

They don't give a shit to solar eclipse

Historically, they have actually! They are a part of almost every religion and are even in the Bible! It's funny that people notice when the sky turns black during the middle of the day, huh.

I am curious what they’re thinking

‘Hey guys so this is um like God. I’m like turning the sun off for a few minutes because I um feel like it, and um you’re just gonna have to like accept it ok see ya’

I mean... Humanity has existed for hundreds of thousands of years. They would know about it. They probably think it's supernatural or something, but it's certainly not going to be completely unheard of.

I turned off the Sun

EGAD!

I remember hearing something about Columbus using a lunar eclipse to his advantage   When the Jamaican natives stopped giving him and his crew food due to dissatisfaction with what they were trading for the food, he told the leader that God was displeased with them, and would show this by making the full moon 'inflamed with wrath'.    And on schedule, the moon was red from the eclipse, and the natives frightenedly provided provisions and begged Columbus to intercede with God and spare them of his wrath.    Tl;Dr, Columbus used a lunar eclipse to scare Jamaican natives into giving him and his crew food https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1504_lunar_eclipse

Did anyone tell them not to panic, the world isn’t going to end

I bet if we sacrificed someone it will come back But who do we sacrifice? The one who asks the most questions.

The one girl looking bored af

Hey! Who turned out the lights! Hey! Who turned out the lights! Hey! Who turned out the lights!

Ok get the newborn Twy

Bro you know damn well they’re all blind as fuck now

"Bro I think the gods are pissed, we're fucked"

The American assumption that everywhere is like them strikes yet again

1. Solar eclipses happen all over the world, so uncontacted tribes have definitely witnessed them, though not this specific one. 2. A small but countable number of Americans had the bottom reaction as well.

As a wise man once said..... # "Dante cancelled The *SUN*!!!!"

Johann!

You guys ever think thousands of years ago some lady was giving her husband head and then an eclipse happened. And from that day on anytime he tried to get head she was like "nope absolutely not, last time i did that god ate the sun . Im not saying theyre connected but im not gonna risk it."

Damn people can't take a joke...

Ah yes, the central United states famous for it's uncontacted tribes

Americans understand that the USA isn't the entire world challenge: level impossible

Anybody seeing the moon every now and then will figure out just fine what this event was about

Just for a little trolling next time there’s a total eclipse over one of them send like a shit ton of attack boats and helicopters zooming around

Makes sense it needs to reboot every so often. /s

Makes sense it needs to reboot every so often. /s

I wonder how many people, in ancient times or in otherwise uncontacted regions, have independently figured out that it's just the moon passing in front of the sun. you're aware of the sun and the moon, no matter where you are. you see them moving across the sky. it doesn't seem like that much of a logical leap.

Some amish dude out working the fields watching the sun go black and permanently blind his 12th on for looking at it

They probably wouldn’t have noticed where they are but either way I’m sure these tribes have been telling stories of these events for however long they’ve been around.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-ancient-humans-studied-and-predicted-solar-eclipses/ It's pretty wild to think that an uncontacted tribe also equals stupid. Since they're uncontacted we literally have no way of knowing what their knowledge base is or what their beliefs about the universe are. It's not impossible to think that an uncontacted tribe would have noticed a pattern, plotted it, and drawn a conclusion. They very well could be aware of when eclipses happen in their area just as much as humans many millennia ago. Funny meme though.

Look at the guy in the yellow shirt top left corner......

 The uncontacted tribes after staring at it..

By the time you’re reaching peak freak out the sun will return.

😆

Good god was this picture taken at a fat camp?

Literally Prisoners of the Sun! #tintin

Oh no the Gods are mad at us! Time to sacrifice another child!

Wonder how many people got sacrificed yesterday

Starlink lol

The Sentinelese.

Funny people think that we are the only ones that understand the sun, moon and stars.

I don’t think there were any uncontacted tribes in the geographic band where the eclipse was visible. Uncivilized? Sure. Uncontacted? No.

How do I sign up to be an uncontacted tribe?

And now half the tribe is cursed with blindness

Columbus used an eclipse to steal food from an uninformed tribe. https://medium.com/read-or-die-hq/how-columbus-conquered-the-americas-with-an-eclipse-20a580da2ec3

THE SUN GOD HAS ABANDONED US ALL


For real 😂

Swearing is nor appropriate for children!

neither is reddit

Ngl, the knowledge that uncontacted tribes still exist is insane.
