So today I drove five hours to see the eclipse, had a tire blow out, didn’t see the eclipse because of thick clouds, and got stuck in traffic for hours on the way back. (I’m still not home.) But at least I haven’t been shot by maniac, yet.
Any updates? It’s been 8 minutes, you’re starting to worry me.
You didn’t shoot anyone either tho, did you?
It’s been two hours. They for sure murdered someone.
It’s been 6 hours I’m getting worried
Asking the important questions
Thank God we have laws to keep guns out of the hands of obvious crazy people.
There is no mental health treatment in our society.
I have come to believe that blind faith is a socially accepted mental illness.
The ICD-11 definition for delusion clearly defines religion, but then commits special pleading to excuse religious belief.
mental health treatment in america is to grab a gun, wave it at people then drown in your addiction of choice. This woman chose “religious conspiracy bullshit”
Georgia woman. It was a Georgia woman that crossed into Florida. WTH is up with that headline?
Florida has a reputation to maintain
If God told her to then it should be legal.
No one can prove God didn’t tell her to go on a shooting spree.
It’s so weird that they freaked out this much over just this Eclipse. There was an eclipse last year and I didn’t hear a peep from these people.
Maybe because last year they didn’t have Marjorie Taylor-Greene tell them that earthquakes and eclipse are a warning from god?
2017 was all “Look at the science! Isn’t this cool!”
But then THAT path only brushed the Bible Belt…
I think it’s because giant singing and man-eating plants are a real concern.
They happen about every 18 months, and thus are a rather normal and common natural phenomenon.
Crazies gonna crazy, though.
Not a Florida woman. Georgia woman. Georgia is exporting their crazy to Florida.
this is a lie by Big Florida!

If you go on YouTube and look up videos of the eclipse yesterday, you’ll see a ton of videos about why the eclipse marks the beginning of the end of the world. Just pure and total insanity or people taking advantage of that insanity. You might be surprised but you probably won’t be because you know in your heart that we’re just that far gone now.
Yeah I was going to say this is what overpopulation looks like. Then I remembered the witch trials in the 1600s and thought there’s plenty more crazy shit people have done. There’s more people now and arguably less crazy shit. Stuff like this is always going to happen though, human condition. Still horrible, we’ve got lots of work to do as a species.
the eclipse marks the beginning of the end of the world
I mean, we gotta mark the Beginning of the End somewhere, right? Might as well be during an eclipse.
In 1976, Larry Cohen made a film called “God Told Me To,” where random people commit murders in the name of God. The movie explains it as (spoiler alert) the influence of aliens, but apparently such a thing doesn’t actually need science fiction explanations.
Edit: Also, we live in what was the path of totality in Indiana and watched the eclipse in a park. When we came home, my daughter saw a bunch of people in a church parking lot doing some post-eclipse bowing down in prayer (I missed it) and she thought it was hilarious.
“I fell to my knees in that Aldi parking lot” is a popular meme on instagram currently, due to a sighting of Christians welcoming the end times in an Aldi parking lot.
I watched a video yesterday about the whole history of TimeCube.com, and it had the same sorts of patterns we see in online radicalization today. Someone with an untreated mental illness posted regularly on a website, and was egged on by people who thought it was funny. Then some kid who also has an untreated mental illness sees it and takes it seriously. Then that kid does something horrific because of it. (In TimeCube’s case the kid jumped in front of a train after meeting the old guy and being rebuffed.)
Can you please link to the video? That sounds really interesting.
Thanks!
Fuckin TimeCube, man. That shit was wild back in the day. I hadn’t heard about someone taking it seriously.
“TAIIIIME CYUBE!”
i don’t remember which of them said it so weirdly/dramatically, but it has stayed with me.
I wasn’t paying attention was some Alex Jones type telling people to do this last week?
Apparently a lot of people on tiktok thought the eclipse was the rapture
Come on, what do I say here? Lock her in jail? Push her off the cliff?? Craziness should not be supported unless it’s in a tiny padded cell under constant supervision. Too many people in this country claim insanity and if she really is, let her watch Boomerang all day; if she’s not test her boomerang-ability
There’s never people who God tells them to go cook really good food for the poor. Or maybe we just don’t hear about them because that’s not really news worthy.
There objectively very very many who say just that, you don’t hear about it because no one cares if you’re doing something good they only care when you’re being shitty.
Those people get arrested and charged with a crime.
I mean. There is the woman who said god told her to sleep with the homeless guy
Now that sounds more spicy. I gotta run this strategy by my wife…hold on…“the sky daemon from the eclipse asked me to please find a local gangbang. I know, I know, I will ask for proof of testing and will definitely meet them all in a public place like a MacDonalds. So?” Yeah she said no.
It’s because she didn’t wear the special glasses. Or mental illness; probably the latter.
It was the chemtrails. I have photographic proof of Chemtrails visibly crossing the eclipse. I know Joe Biden scheduled the eclipse so we all look up at the right time to be exposed to the mind control chemicals
… is this really easier for some people to believe, than mental illness?
I had to explain to someone that the glasses are needed because you never stare at the sun no matter how dim it may seem. I’m not sure what they originally thought the glasses were for but I get the idea they thought the eclipse was giving of weird energy or powers…
I can’t believe this isn’t the onion
Folks on Talk Radio and the Televangelical circuit have been doing dime-store prophecies about the Eclipse being the end of the fucking world for fucking months. I was honestly a bit surprised shit like this wasn’t more common.
Maybe Americans are building up a tolerance to the endless media hysteria.
Shit man, wait until you hear about Andrea Yates.
her story is actually pretty tragic and fucked up, if you look into it.
The ONLY way to Prevent this is if someone SHOOTS Her First!
