Your Eclipse Questions, ANSWERED

The eclipse is almost upon us, and there's a lot that people don't know, like "Who really killed JFK?" and "How many mice are living behind the oven?" You submitted questions, here are the answers:


Why does the solar eclipse happen?


A solar eclipse happens because God is angry with us.

Like pissed. Really pissed.

Humans have displeased God, so as punishment, the Moon will pass between the Earth and the Sun. This is a punishment, obviously, because big shadows are bad and scary.

 There's no way to know why exactly why God is mad, as biblical scholars are split. Most, however, believe he is pissed off because of either gay people or The Emoji Movie.

Should I look directly at the solar eclipse?


Do whatever you want, I'm not your dad.

Unless...

What if I am your dad? If I am, then you SHOULD look at the solar eclipse. I want you to go blind. I don't want you to have to look upon the face of the father that abandoned you, even if it was unintentional.

I know that's selfish of me, but the shame is just overbearing. I don't want you to be able to see me watching you from afar while you're playing in the park with your friends. If you don't see me then I won't have to approach you and apologize for not being there to teach you how to play catch or make crepes.

What can I do to see the eclipse if my employer won't let me leave work to see it?


If your employer won't let you see the eclipse, challenge them to a duel. If your job has a "no dueling" policy, tell them that your religion requires that you put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.

To do this, you'll have to make sure your religion seems legitimate. You'll need some sort of Bible, so get a blank notebook and write "Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky." You'll also have to establish a website and/or Facebook page to make it look like your religion is actually established. Do this by creating events such as "Vacation Holy Book of Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky School" and "Movie Night: Putting on Dumbass Glasses and Looking Up at the Sky's Not Dead." Lastly, create between one and one thousand deities that you can pretend to show devotion to. Some deity name ideas are Dumbassio Glassesion, Looking Up at the Sky Fella, and Phil. If you make it believable, your employer will be forced to allow you to put on dumbass glasses and look up at the sky.


Or you could just watch the eclipse through the window.

Who would win in a fight, the Sun or the Moon?


The Moon would win in a game of chess because the Sun doesn't have hands.

The Sun would win in a dance off, but only if they were able to pick the songs.

Neither would win in a sailboat race across the Pacific Ocean, because they would both end up working together and realizing that their friendship is what really matters, and not their silly grade-school rivalry.

How long can we expect the organizers of the eclipse to black out the Sun? Do the counter protesters have a permit?


The protest will last until the Earth gives Buzz Aldrin back to the Moon.

The counter protesters do have a permit, but they have been confined to a small section of the Earth called the Western Hemisphere.

Is this the liberal media trying to erase our memory?

The mainstream media don't want me to tell you this, but                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 because if you found out                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  with a spatula, or                                                                                     wearing a tutu

Three tips on getting your beach body that don't involve going to war with Iran

Summer is almost here, which means Americans will be heading to the beach, pool, and possibly the Middle East to start another genocidal war that will only further destabilize the region. Here are some tips that make sure you look good while also ensuring you don't kill hundreds of thousands of people. 1.) Stick to your diplomatic relationship and your workout routine. Having a set plan can go a loooong way in ensuring you get to the gym every week. Once you establish something that works, though, don't give up just because you get busy or you want to tarnish your predecessor's legacy. Abs don't show up in one week. Don't stop your workout just because your tummy doesn't get flat right away, or because of unfounded claims that the 2015 peace deal deal isn't working. As Dory from Finding Nemo famously says: 2.) Maintain a high-protein breakfast and avoid appointing John Bolton as your National Security Advisor. Any breakfast that inc...

Let Us Set Aside Our Differences About The Approaching Swarm of Bees and Come Together as a Nation

It seems like America is more divided than ever, and the recent reports about a beehive falling to the ground and splitting open doesn't help. The news loves to sensationalize stories like this, but will rarely give us both sides of the story. You hear so much about how being stung dozens of times is a bad thing, but you rarely, if ever, hear the other perspective. The media always gives a mouthpiece to those saying "Run away!" and "Jump in the pond to get away from them," but why won't the media let those saying "Those aren't the stinging kind," and "Actually, getting stung by bees is good for you" to speak? I don't want to just tell you about this bias, I want you to see it for yourself. Google "swarm of bees," and I can guarantee that 9 out of 10 headlines will be skewed against the dangerous insects. I'm all for freedom of the press, but it is also the press's responsibility to give the American public ...

Something you never want to hear from your significant other

It started out like a regular date night. Both of us had survived tough weeks at work, and we relished the chance to get away from it all. After paying for our meal, we weren't yet ready to head in, so we decided to go for a walk by the river. It was warm, but the breeze off the water soothed us. My partner and I held hands. We chitchatted. I don't remember what we talked about, but then he turned to me and told me something I will never forget. My first reaction after hearing these words was shock. I never in my life imagined I would hear something like that directed at me, especially from someone I cared about so deeply. Did he really just say that? I wondered. Even though I had heard him clearly, my only response was, "What?" He repeated. Again, every word entered my ear and soured all happy memories I had of my partner. Every warm feeling that I felt towards him was now ice cold, and it was just as shocking to hear the second time: A roller skating ...

Creating Creation: DIY Universe

Let me tell you something that might shock you: being omnipotent does not have to break the bank. In fact, having control over everything in existence can be both affordable and fun. Sure, it's possible to find cheap universes for sale, but I have found that store-bought are always collapsing in on themselves after only a few eons, and the ones I’ve ordered online always come bruised and with black holes. If you’re as big a fan of DIY projects as I am, this post will show you just a few simple steps to command your own homemade, infinite cosmos! Materials needed: Cosmic ™  Space A jar of time 2 AA or AAA batteries* Dimensions (anywhere between 3 and 10) Lemon (for scent) Free will* 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms (organic is preferable) 10 screws 1 reality *optional As is true with any DIY project , you’ll want to start out with a big enough surface when making your universe. ...
