Re: Eclipse

[bitterlysweet]

You are impossible.

Re: Eclipse

[iliya]

IT'S SO FUCKING COOL THOUGH DID YOU TRY LOOKING AT IT????? i'm so jealous of jj

Re: Eclipse

[dinahdanger]

My eyes also hurt even though I had eclipse glasses, it's almost like you're not supposed to stare at the sun

Re: Eclipse

[ulixes]

i just lost ten minutes to worrying about dogs that might not know the sun is bad to look at

Re: Eclipse

[nothalfplaid]

Re: Eclipse

[nothalfplaid]

I tried and they are Not Cool at All

Re: Eclipse

[meerigold]

yeah there was too much glare and my phone's camera wouldn't focus on it

i got ONE picture and it's just a shitty, blurry glowing orb

Re: Eclipse

[ferdie]

Ahhhhh jealous it is only going to be 85% here but the peak is in like half an hour when I will be outside to glance carefully at the giant ball of sky gas

Re: Eclipse

[puphart]

it's going to happen in 30 minutes here while i'm walking to work and i don't have glasses. do you guys think it'll be okay if i just like.... squint up at the sun through my mega sunglasses? and go "ooooh"? it'll be at ~79%

Re: Eclipse

[novelling]

Make a camera obscura with your fingers!

Re: Eclipse

[puphart]

:O how do you do that?

Re: Eclipse

[sylla]

I used my old metal colander and was the only one standing outside on my block looking like an idiot holding a colander over my head but it worked and it was cool

Re: Eclipse

[iliya]

omg i love this

Re: Eclipse

[lilwitchhazel]

That looks amazing!!

Re: Eclipse

[heyitsnia]

This is extremely cool

Re: Eclipse

[nothalfplaid]

kinda disappointed bc I thought this was going to be you with the colander over your head, but still cool

Re: Eclipse

[sylla]

that privilege is only for my neighbors

Re: Eclipse

[nothalfplaid]

GOOD CALL. I'M IN THE PATH OF TOTALITY BY NATURE

Our work closed for like an hour and we had sun chips, moon pies, sun drop, sun kissed, star bursts, and milk ways and we stared at the eclipse.

Re: Eclipse

[puphart]

i still you should tell someone to put a moon pie on sun chips because that's the proper way to eat an eclipse
