wasn't there some sort of weird Q-Anon conspiracies surrounding the eclipse?

wasn't there some sort of weird Q-Anon conspiracies surrounding {Insert literally anything here}

Yes.

What were they? (About the eclipse.)

a real opportunity for smugglers and cartels and migrants to come right in.”

Sigh

Ahh yes, under cover of shade

Wide open for a handful of minutes.

"While everyone is watching the sun, we'll crouch down and sneak right past them."

evidently their political worldview was heavily influenced by classic vaudevillian antics and screwball cartoons

And the idea that an eclipse is as dark as being in a cave without a flashlight.

As a GM I would give my players a bonus to stealth during a total eclipse if they wanted to sneak past some guards, so I think this is a very valid take. ;-)

I mean, the guards would probably want to get a look at the eclipse! Haha

Yeah I know right? Joe Biden should have done more to stop the eclipse!

When else could the cartels cross the region under cover of darkness? It's not something that happens every night.

Oh I so fucking called that when I found out that the path of totality went straight through Eagle Pass.

I'm just assuming, probably correctly. I don't bother with that nonsense. But yes is a safe answer since everything's a freaking conspiracy with that bunch of nutjobs.

So in other words just lying? You really answered a question you had no idea the answer to with "yes."

It's called surmising, and they surmised correctly.

I love how you have no response as soon as it's illustrated that in fact these jack offs did have a dumb conspiracy theory about this shit. Nice one!

It was rapture when the path of this eclipse crossed the path of the eclipse two years ago. I think it was somewhere in Missouri/Iliinois. If you ascended, congrats. I get to go to work tomorrow.

nope. still here.

So. Did we finally get rid of the jackasses?

Safe to assume that if the rapture was real, most people thinking they were righteous enough to get raptured are most certainly missing their religion's arbitrary mark, so us decent, upstanding heathens would end up stuck with most of them here anyway.

I'm also still here, so...

Oh, you meant the other kind of jackass.

well... I meant the religious fruitcake variety.

I assume if a rapture did happen... it'd be all over the news. and uh, celebrations.

wasn’t there some sort of weird Q-Anon conspiracies surrounding the eclipse everything that ever happens?

The answer is yes.
