If you haven’t heard of the solar eclipse already, have you been living under a rock?

It is a complete eclipse, and people are trying to experience it by using special glasses.

Remember, never look directly at someone telling an eclipse joke.

Will ur joke be overshadowed, Dad?

Do you belong to the 10% population that hasn’t heard of it?

Well, even if you didn’t know about it, you do now. Grab yourself some solar eclipse glasses and go look at the sun. Oh and, don’t look at it with your bare eyes, because you’ll probably burn your retina that way.

This Monday, a solar eclipse will spread throughout America from Oregon to South Carolina. The shadow will be covering 14 states, and people are completely hyped about it.

Some of them aren’t really sure how an eclipse works.

Me: my eternal identity is in Christ Jesus
Also me: if I have my baby today I bet it’ll have freaky witch powers from the eclipse

The more they ask us not to look at the sun, the more we want to do it.

The Internet is more active now than it was on the Fourth of July.

Eclipse Instagram is going to be worse than Fourth of July Fireworks Instagram.

And then there are some who don’t “believe” in the eclipse.

Fun Fact: This eclipse is happening whether you “believe in it” or not.

This guy likes thinking of extremes.

Based on what I hear on the news, there is no eclipse scenario that doesn’t end like this. Is that correct? pic.twitter.com/JPdUs0AZBE

Don’t be that person.

I’m hoping I’m one of those people who involuntarily scream when they see the eclipse.

If you don’t have the glasses, Walmart has them for $1.

Accurate.

Hayley Williams suggested a great drinking game.

Drink every time someone says solar eclipse glasses. Jk don’t you’ll die.

Don’t have an excuse? Use the eclipse.

Gonna blame everything today on the eclipse. “Sorry, can’t write that draft, the moon is going in front of the sun.”
