During the August 2017 total solar eclipse, the then-president went viral when he ignored all eclipse safety recommendations by gazing directly at the sun with his naked eyes
As a GM I would give my players a bonus to stealth during a total eclipse if they wanted to sneak past some guards, so I think this is a very valid take. ;-)
I'm just assuming, probably correctly. I don't bother with that nonsense. But yes is a safe answer since everything's a freaking conspiracy with that bunch of nutjobs.
It was rapture when the path of this eclipse crossed the path of the eclipse two years ago. I think it was somewhere in Missouri/Iliinois. If you ascended, congrats. I get to go to work tomorrow.
Safe to assume that if the rapture was real, most people thinking they were righteous enough to get raptured are most certainly missing their religion's arbitrary mark, so us decent, upstanding heathens would end up stuck with most of them here anyway.
