Nothing true under the sun: Why solar eclipses are a breeding ground for conspiracy theories

Surely people don’t really still believe in Gods and fairies??

I thought they were just saying that in this forum to take the pish.

Oh, really??

Donald Trump says you're wrong.

Apparently there's a rumor going round that the Donald will be looking up at the sun from the front steps of Mar a Lago. If you calculate the geometry his gaze will make with the pathway of the eclipses then apparently that will be a 33degree angle-which will identify him as being one of the elite which will lead to the main stream media giving him their unbridled support.

It's not just crazy republicans. I live in liberal land and they have declared a state of emergency. 🤦 Tweets and warnings and road closures too. It's like lockdown again.

What is wrong with people?

No idea.
I've seen other solar eclipses here and it wasn't a big deal. Not sure why this time is.

Because they’ve been whipped up into a frenzy. Democrats are evil, woke is evil, liberals are evil and everything is scary and terrifying.

We have seen it before. Nothing new.

So why is my local liberal government sending out notifications to announce a state of emergency. Have plenty of water and food before the event blah blah blah.

It's not just republicans you meatheads.

@Fartacus
Yeah, it is funny how here we are, century 21 and people still get freaked out over an event lasting a few minutes and we know EXACTLY what it is, why it is, how long they run and all of that but stupid people abound. You can imagine what they though a thousand years ago when science was just a dream a few people had. Hell, they thought lightning was a pissed off god. Even though it is still just as deadly now if you happen to get whacked by one. I almost did once, on a bike going from Tucson to Phoenix, riding by the superstition mountains, a lightning strike so close to my ass I felt the heat of it on my neck. Now THAT is close enough. Got off the bike and found a bus shelter for the duration of the storm.
