A solar eclipse is set to darken our skies later today, and, as long as you protect yourself from staring directly into the sun, you can have a fun time for a few minutes. This rare and super cool effect that the moon occasionally performs for us is the talk of the town (if the internet was a town) — and of course people are making jokes about it.
Unlike most of the memes that take over X, though, these ones are wholesome.
My dad texted this to the family group chat and said: “Mira mijos el eclipse!” 😂😭 #Eclipse2024 pic.twitter.com/DVkyaXaZYk

so is it like, worse than looking at the sun for a second or two on a regular day? because let's not act like we all haven't sneaked a peak at the big guy a few times. get real.

Interesting that we can perfectly predict when and where an eclipse will happen. Almost as though it's planned in advance
