Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

90% of the sun obscured is still quite bright, not something I would describe as darkness.
If it's the middle of the day and it suddenly gets very noticably darker with no cloud near the sun, 2000 year old desert people will shit their pants
It took 1 hour 22 minutes from the beginning of the eclipse to the maximum and a little more than that time from maximum until it ended. I would not call that suddenly. And we don't know if there were no clouds.
I experienced almost this exact thing last year, it's something that could fairly easily be missed.
I mean, you can see the moon in the sky during the day time... Especially if the air is clear, and I'm pretty sure they didn't have smog back then.
It's always hilarious when people pretend an eclipse comes out of nowhere and they totally wouldn't see the cause, whether or not they understood it fully.
