Ceka Cianci Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Peeve: Knowing that you are going to miss the eclipse a couple of hours ahead of time, because it's a cloudy overcast day. Maybe it'll still get a little dim here.. hehehe 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid Nagy Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Peeve, the night is falling here and will hold on until around 6 tomorrow morning and we don't even have an eclipse.

Ayashe Ninetails Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 3 minutes ago, Scylla Rhiadra said: Lol, that's cute, BUT...this eclipse has nothing on Dec 2020. I dunno if you remember that, but those memes had me falling out of my chaaaaaaaaair. There was another event where some guy predicted the end of the world. Can't remember when that happened, but Twitter was completely out of pocket that day, too. 😂 Today's memes feel so mid! I'm gonna need Twitter to wake up a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but three quarters of those centred on a certain important politician who somewhat idiotically just stared at the eclipse without glasses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took it as an unintentional reference to whichever Robert A. Heinlein novel had a "vet-like" God, not sure if it was "Time Enough for Love", or perhaps "To Sail Beyond the Sunset". Of course, taken literally it's more like Stephen King's "Under the Dome", but that was about just about immature aliens causing mischief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no, not that. Nooothing to do with that. LOL, the superpowers bit. 😂😂😂 It's possible you missed it since that was a very inside joke, LMAO. I do remember quite a few people being completely lost as to what 99% of those tweets even meant. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinlein novel had a "vet-like" God, not sure if it was "Time Enough for Love", or perhaps "To Sail Beyond the Sunset". Neither. "Time enough for love" was about some guy from a secretive amateur eugenics breeding program, who turns out to be almost immortal. "To sail beyond Sunset" was about his mother, and her ultimately getting rescued by her time traveling immortal son just before she died in a traffic accident, getting rejuvenated, and becoming a red headed nympho. The "Nympho Red Head" theme was increasingly common in Bob's later works, along with the theme that "Cute Red Head Nymphos are uncontrollably attracted to fat, bald, elderly Sci-Fi writers". Closest to a "Vet-Like God" I can think of would be Bob's book "Job". Edited April 8 by Zalificent Corvinus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Blavity: On a Twitter thread about the coronavirus vaccine conspiracy theories, one woman floated the idea that Dec. 21 would feature Black people gaining special abilities. Black folks on Twitter not only roasted the woman for her outlandish theory but turned it into a meme that spawned days of top-tier jokes. Even Missy got in on it, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I aw a plot summary for that. "A young man, Aren, is recruited into a secret society of magical Black people who dedicate their lives to a cause of utmost importance: making white people’s lives easier." I suspect there's a good reason for it's IMDB rating of 2.7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
