    Round 1 - surge in measles due to anti vax

    Round 2 - surge in blindness due to staring at the sun to own the libs

      Turn yourself into a dependent of the state to show how much of a cool conservative you are, or something.

          except rich people, they obviously need to be subsidized by the workers so that their wealth can trickle down

      And these people are spreading disinformation in the form of what’s called coordinated messaging that illegal unvaccinated immigrants are the ones causing the measles outbreak! I’ve seen it all over Facebook.

    The initial post comes across to me as intentionally crafted to spread and cause mischief. But, it’s also very possibly an example of poe’s law. When you so accurately mimic stupid, how can anyone tell for sure whether it’s parody. It could just as easily be a real post.

        You mean like when someone posts a scam link and another person immediately pops up and says that this is the best [scam name] they ever used?

          Nope, it’s when a group of disinformation twits post the same message on all their social media accounts to try and spread rumors.

    Please think logically people… God has been doing volcanoes for a very long time & nowhere does he mention we need to not jump in them

        He had it right when we lived in the ocean. Everything after that was a mistake.

      Sure, and mountains have been there for centuries, no reason why we shouldn’t climb Everest despite the piles of corpses up there.

        I think the amphetamines did that, but the sun certainly didn’t help.

          Are we still peddling the amphetamine addiction myth with literally no evidence?

          To borrow from the post, “think logically”: How could the single leakiest white house with a president whose only good decision for his health was sobriety, which is also linked to his only human moment of swearing off substances due to the death of a family member at the hands of addiction, possibly have kept that secret for four years in the WH and beyond?

            Yes. Because it’s funny.

            Unfortunately the WH medical unit failed to keep any records of where the mountains of modafinil were distributed, and it’s unknown how Dr Jackson ended up with the nickname ‘Candyman’, but sure I’m happy to concede there’s a possibility Trump was only surrounding himself with addicts while abstaining personally.

    Anyone who wants to see the eclipse (if you’re in an area that can see it) and don’t have glasses go to a tree covered area and watch the shadows of the leaves on the ground, it’s pretty trippy

      This is what I saw, more or less, in 2017. The noticeable dimming and the crescent dappling was very interesting and eerie. We’re in for about a minute of totality this time, though we’re also getting predictions of clouds, so maybe no corona. :-(

        I did this in 2017 too, but I also used a pair of binoculars to project a clear image on the ground. It was beautiful~

          Do you have to buy a filter for the binoculars to do that? I’ve heard pointing binoculars at the sun can burn them out.

            Never heard of that myself, but I suppose it’d be good advice for fancy binocs with an integrated digital camera or something. Mine were super-cheap and didn’t seem any worse for the wear.

      Watch the reflection in a black tub or bin filled with still water or hang a white sheet a few feet above your head.

      The water mirror will be the better option to watch progress until totality.

      Even if they went fucking blind from staring at the sun they wouldn’t find out. They’d just blame woke libruls for it and call it a day

    Nowhere in the Bible does God say you shouldn’t jump into a wood chipper. Saying they’re dangerous is just woke propaganda; actually it’ll fix everything that ails you and I highly suggest all conservatives go and give it a try

    Here’s a neat thing: It is entirely safe to directly view a total eclipse, the part where you only see the corona and not the actual sun.

      Oh, if only there were a worldwide network of information resources that could explain to them what the risks are and how the glasses can be both prudent and enhance your experience! If only!

      The biggest thing with the glasses is that if you wear them, you get to stare at the freakin’ sun! That’s awesome. Beyond that, you just have to make sure you put them on before totality is done, or look away before it’s done to let your eyes adjust naturally. I sense that these dummies are exactly the ones who will stare at the corona until they see a split second sunrise that fries n-percent of their photoreceptors. It’s fine though, I’m sure at least one of them will end up with a Jesus-shaped retinopathy spot.

    Wikipedia says the damage from this is mostly heals after a few months, so they will probobly be fine. Will be an intresting few months though.

    The answer as to why it’s dangerous is literally a single search away. It would’ve taken less time to search it up than spread this shit around.

      You don’t come to this conclusion if you’re the kind of person to trust legitimate sources of information.
