Well, the eclipse came and went, and the world didn't end. What did we do wrong?

How can we secure a solar eclipse induced apocalypse next time? More virgin sacrifices? Less? Virgins are quite abundant these days. We could go either way...

There was an eclipse? Didn't even know since there weren't any news of it being on my part of the world.

Guess it first need to be worlwide to create an apocalypse,

I saw a bunch of memes about eclipses and concluded there was probably one happening somewhere

It was visible in large parts of North America.

I'm not even on that side of the earth.

Earth doesn't have sides, it's spherical.

Earth is spherical yes, but we as humans divided it into side to be able to differentiate it easilly where we are relatively to one another.

So relatively, america is on the another side of earth compared to me, or 180 degrees far on the sphere

The antipode of America is the Indian ocean. Do you live in the Kergulean Islands? That's the only land that is 180 degrees from somewhere in America.

If you want to tell me where you are specifically, I can tell you the exact antipode... but it's often just somewhere in the ocean... lots of water here.

Croatia

It says your antipodal point is in the ocean, sort of between the south and south pacific ocean. Nearest landmass is Chatham Islands, New Zealand... although it seems like quite the swim.

Antipode coordinates: -45.814, -164.022

Antipode finder. It's actually kind of fun to play around with, you realize how much darn ocean there is haha.
