Couldn’t the search be, how do I see the eclipse without hurting my eyes?
That search query would be sent right after looking directly at it
My favourite is still and will always be the negative reviews on Amazon for Yankee candles correlating with Covid outbreaks.
What’s the story about that?
Just a guess based on “covid” and “candles”, a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.
I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn’t smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.
Yankee candle rating dropped sharply (or at least statistically significant) during covid with reviews of them being negative because they had little to no smell.
Loss of smell being a covid symptom.
Edit: oh and yeah it would go up and down based on larger outbreaks. So it followed the early waves of mass outbreaks basically 1:1
Which is wild in retrospect because holy shit they smell SO strongly.
That wasn’t a problem where I live, it was totally overcast that day. Though I’m sure it would have had the sun been visible.
… I feel like you teased me with a rickroll & then in fact left me hanging all deserted, intentionally.
Well done!Never a day goes by that I don’t feel thankful for your kindness.
Grateful beyond words for the warmth you bring into my life.
Giving your time and care means more than I can say.
Your presence reminds me how beautiful life can be.
Under every circumstance, I’m thankful for you.
I tend to wake up every morning amazed that: A) We’re generally still here and B) I’m specifically still here. Then the disappointment hits.
Don’t give us too much credit just yet. Dinosaurs were around for about 180 million years.
Our earliest ancestors are about 2 million years ago, our closest ancestors are about 300,000 years and our actual ancestors who are like us are only about 50,000 years.
We’re still just a tiny blip in earth’s history and if we wipe ourselves out, it’ll be pretty hard for any future archaeologist to figure out who we were and what we did, or even to know that we were even here.
Sure, but forget 50 kiloyears. Just considering the events of the last century is sufficient to make me marvel that we haven’t sterilized ourselves – and the rest of the planet. But, as you say, it’s early days yet. I’m sure we’ll manage to irrevocably cock it up any moment now.
or even to know that we were even here.
What about our megafauna extinctions, nuclear tests, mass biosphere degradation and destruction, the Anthropocene extinction event, the fish bones of 2-6 trillion fish we torture to death every year, the bones of trillions of monstrous chickens, anthropogenic climate change, plastic… and soon the upcoming anthropogenic climate-change cascade and the Anthropocene mass-extinction event?
Dinosaurs is a clade, not a species. Humans belong to the clades hominoids and simians, which have been around for 13 and 42 million years.
You find yourself on the planet of half-intelligent disaster hominids.

That’s a bop, thanks :)
Thanks. I guess there’s nothing for it but to venture deep into the woods at night, alone and carrying only a high-power laser pointer and a large sign reading “for the love of everything pure and good, abduct me!”
(I consent to reasonable amounts of probing)
Definitely has to be pretty low in Buffalo NY…
…since it was fucking OVERCAST!
