You just didn’t pray hard enough!
Edit: on a serious note, I get why the town is panicking. Shit is gonna be crazy for them
My neighborhood is in the path of totality. Someone on Nextdoor is trying to sell use of a spot in their driveway on the day of the eclipse for $700.
That's smart, also probably very low at this point.
Yeah it’s a funny headline but they’re gonna be overrun with tourists and it’s gonna be pretty inconvenient. Unfortunately celestial bodies don’t care. 🤷♂️
At the end of the article it asks "why come to Luna Pier when you can be in Toledo with get better amenities and the eclipse lasts longer?"
Because things are too expensive and sold out in ~~Toronto~~ Toledo.They’re not in Luna Pier.
Edit: Geography’s hard….
You're off by a few letters or 250+ miles there 😄
Toledo: the Great White North.
Ha! I’d say a few letters.
Everybody knows celestial bodies only listen to us if we do a proper human sacrifice. Preferably from a tall place.
And ideally of someone who doesn't fuck.
Its the 21st century, I think we can do better than 'a virgin'.
Anybody here ace and suicidal, maybe looking to spite the literal heavens? You could make a small town very happy. Especially if you're into mountaineering.
Some cultures "offered" free drugs/alcohol for the sacrificed. Might find some takers.
Yeah, I think I could get my hands on some stuff.
The Aztecs did not have LSD and E.
They had mushrooms.
Yeah, and some other stuff, but dude; not the same.
I like mushrooms, but they're not the same thing.
