Total solar eclipses happen every one to three years...
Also, people go nuts and kill people every damn day
The sun exists every single day, too... Hmmm 🤔
The answer is clear. The sun causes violence.
To be fair, THE sun is ^a^ 𝒹ℯ𝒶𝒹𝓁𝓎 ʟᴀᴢ0ʀ.
And it's in space. I'm pretty sure the Jews tried to get rid of it though...
(you don't see Ra jokes around here often enough imo)
Sun is closest to a Lovecraftian Great Old One that we have out there
A Sunlight Maggot.
Praise the sun.
Kill the sun!
Californians are trying. With that Cloud salting test they did secretly recently.
Should be pretty easy. Throw a ball of iron in large enough to stop fusion.
Edit: NM. That doesn't work it seems
all I really know is that sunshine is unwholesome. This time of year especially. Every damn year.
Sunshine seeps into people's brains. Nothing wholesome every seeps. it causes their wits to dribble out their ears, and then they're standing around being all like "oh this is loverly"... until blam. They get ran over by a car being driven by another sun-addled dolt.
Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.
Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.
I'm going with meteor shower.
Also people just kill other people every damn hour without going nuts.
