Heard these two this morning.

Will the power go out during the eclipse?
Do you need special glasses to watch the eclipse on TV?

Yeah, those are pretty dumb. But just for laughs, what are the answers? You know, for the dummies who don't know.

Will it be cold watching it? Should I bring a light jacket just in case?

There are some areas of the country with a significant enough amount of solar generation that could experience a sudden generation loss. I doubt there is enough in one region to dip too much into the gen reserves tho.

If you look at it for more than 3 minutes it can damage your eyes.

People who believe in the literal truth of the bible believe that the sun rotates around earth. I bet they'll have all kinds of stupid eclipse questions....

My neighbor is pulling her kid out of school today because she's afraid the school will let the kid burn her eyes.

My favorite was the lady last night on my Facebook complaining because the school won't let her kid outside to look at it

People are stupid

The air could likely get much hotter with 100% of the cold from the sun being blocked.

I want to see how many people develop some level of vision damage due to holding their damn phone up to the eclipse to record video with no proper protection.

and the worst part, not in landscape/horizontal mode to boot.

Heard that as well from a secretary. Her husband is taking the afternoon off so he can get the kids out of school.

Also keep in mind that God can still see you masturbating unless you're in 100% blackout area.

With the eclipse happening today, can we finally land a man on the Sun?

Looking for serious answers only please.

I thought it's only supposed to last for 2 minutes?
