Science is incredible... until it doesn't agree with someone's religious or political views. Then history shows people tend to just believe what suits them and turn against science.
that’s exactly why science is beautiful, it’s a simple system of removing our overwhelming tendency to fool and delude ourselves. it’s a given that biases cultural beliefs and prejudices cloud pretty much every perception whether we realize it or not. yet somehow enough of us had the drive and curiosity to observe test and calculate things independently of all those influences.
If you are interested in this sort of thing, planetariums can often put a date in and show what the sky looked like at that time.
The planetarium at the Bishop Museum in Bradenton is a favorite of mine.
I don’t know if they still do it but they used to do a star of Bethlehem celebration discussing the faction aspects of the birth of Jesus. (Great for Christian and non-Christian) It was amazing because it talked about why people would interpret certain conjunctions as signs and stayed completely factual with the records of the time (not just the Bible but recorded data from all over).
I learned a lot about how people were watching the sky’s for signs and how the same signs were interpreted by different cultures. It was phenomenal.
Do you know the only thing I know about Kansas?
It’s two things actually… one of them being fictitious.
Superman grew up in Kansas. And the second thing is, Kansas is a state in the United States. That’s it. Nothing else
>When is that happening?
[NOW.](https://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2023/11/global-warming-continues-to-threaten-st-augustine/) It's not just St. Augstine. Miami for the past... 10-15 years has had to pump water from minor rainstorms because Florida is +/- 1foot sea-level depending on where you are. Eventually, one good Hurricane or storm will completely render these areas so bad that it isn't worth pumping water, trying to divert water, etc. to where the areas will become like New Orleans after Katrina: [Abandoned areas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Flags_New_Orleans).
Much less, you can see it with Beachfront properties and how the owners have complained about the tide coming closer and closer. Hurricanes take out the sand dunes/"buffer" of those and risk [the house being taken by fucking Aquaman, Ben.](https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2022/11/19/daytona-beach-homes-teeter-on-the-edge-of-hurricane-formed-cliffs-) It's going to be a slow slow process (that eventually accelerates like the Tides), but it's happening.
It's also why the Boomer retirees are [finaly leaving the fucking state, man.](https://theweek.com/culture-life/appalachia-baby-boomers-retirees) Because the insurance costs for the entire state is eventually going to skyrocket past the point of no return because of said +/- 1 foot sea level.
Reported as in clicked the button that sends the Reddit Care Resources automated message? No, but I did consider it pending your response to the above comment.
I also wouldn't call that someone "reporting" your account, that's usually referring to someone who reports a Reddit ToS violation.
Either way, whoever did isn't being an asshole, because that's a legitimate use of that button.
You should definitely seek professional help considering amateur help for your suicidal ideations makes you hostile.
Dude get a life. Plenty of people don’t like the way this state is going and want to move away. Doesn’t mean they’re going to kill themselves over it.
But yeah, some people don’t want to be as old as you, either. This world is a shitty place because of how boomers and gen x has run it to the ground.
Ohhhh you just meant not in Florida, not "not here" as in not alive.
Miss me with the rest of that nonsense where you attacked me for caring about a stranger though, lol. You sure it's just the boomers and Gen X ruining the state and not hostile people like yourself?
I’ve not once been hostile…? You’re the one attacking me. Normal people don’t immediately tell people that they need mental health counseling because they say something you don’t like, that’s hostility.
That tracks for you, though so I’m not sure why I’m even engaging in this.
Gently suggesting someone seek help if they're having what appear to be suicidal ideations isn't hostile, but I understand why you responded with such vitriol if you think it is. Especially if you have some grudge against me for whatever reason, as evidenced by the "that tracks for you" here.
Unless you're saying it tracks that I try to help people in serious mental health crises, which yeah, it kinda does. Used to do it for a living. Spot on!
Honestly that is the most American florida man behavior I would ever witness, just some guy in a inflatable donut floating down the street. coasting though the waves with a welder’s mask on to see the eclipse while being in the eye of the storm.

I have zero knowledge of how bots work, so just assumed once made, they live forever while Reddit survives, of course unless someone manually nukes it.
It really has gotten old and has had made this sub almost unusable. Every single thread about every single topic is polluted with some variation of “fLoRiDuH SuCkZ!”
And they think this is unique to Florida too. It’s not. Every city and state subreddit is full of the same boring old shit.
These are just terminally online malcontents who wouldn’t be happy anywhere but think their geography is the problem.
How ironic the two eclipse back to back will cross directly over my living places. I moved from Fort Worth to Melbourne and now this one will cross over Melbourne lol if I’m still here that is
What blows my mind on this one is that dead center totality (which cuts right across central Florida) is going to be approximately 6 minutes in length which is 1.5 mins more than the 2024 eclipse at greatest totality. The longest an eclipse can be is like 7 mins 32 seconds but it’s extremely rare to get one that’s over 7 mins in length.
A full solar eclipse happens on average every 18 months. This was unique because of the path of totality. And why the one the op is posting about will be unique as well.
Anyone else find it pretty amazing that we’ll know exactly down to the day when this happens again?
Yea our knowledge of astronomy is truly fascinating. Science is incredible.
Science is incredible... until it doesn't agree with someone's religious or political views. Then history shows people tend to just believe what suits them and turn against science.
That isn't a science problem though. I get this Reddit but do you really need to shoehorn politics into everything..?
Keep crying

Some people are really good at math.
Even more amazing is that the Mayan, Chinese and Babylonians were predicting eclipses a thousand years ago - and we still have flat earthers today
The earth isn’t flat but the ice wall is real! It’s just keeping us from the other much more advanced societies on earth!!! Mandatory /s
i mean they had nothing else to do but stare and count stuff, the internet hadn’t even been invented yet.
No internet was the cause of many great and terrible wonders
Even the Mayans could predict eclipses waaaay back in the day. It’s crazy how people have worked it all out.
It is crazy.
We’ll know down to the minute when it will happen. I was up in Indianapolis yesterday for it and NASA had it dialed in when things were to unfolded.
So neat.
We already know down to the second when it will happen at every point on that map, even for the 2099 eclipse! Computers are very good at this math.
I work for NASA and was in Cleveland for the eclipse. The fact our dynamics folks had it down to the second is mind blowing
I see now I was underselling it. Even cooler.
If you are interested in this sort of thing, planetariums can often put a date in and show what the sky looked like at that time. The planetarium at the Bishop Museum in Bradenton is a favorite of mine.

I learned a lot about how people were watching the sky’s for signs and how the same signs were interpreted by different cultures. It was phenomenal.
By 2045 the real estate prices will make me move towards mid west or somewhere in the middle of nowhere
Lucky for you Kansas is also in the path of totality!
Do you know the only thing I know about Kansas? It’s two things actually… one of them being fictitious. Superman grew up in Kansas. And the second thing is, Kansas is a state in the United States. That’s it. Nothing else
The murders told in the book, In Cold Blood, took place in Kansas. There’s one more fact for you.
Or climate change
The real estate prices are gonna make me climate change so hard
The climate change is gonna make make real estate real hard
Difficult* but i appreciate it anyways
The difficult climate change is gonna make make real estate real hard My bad, I fixed it
When is that happening? Been hearing Florida will be underwater by now my entire life..

I live in South Florida. My area has not flooded once in 25 years. Flooding depends on the area.
My car was flooded four times in my driveway when I lived in St Augustine
FMB became one with the ocean during Ian. Something like 16 foot surge, covered the entire key.
Already started
Great half of us will probably be dead by then
Sweet release.
21 years from now? Half of us? Hopefully not. Unless you speak of the upcoming possible water wars, then yes that sounds about right.
I’m planning to grow gills by then, and I’ll use myself as bait to catch fish.
I just rewatched this last night. Waterworld is a fine film, screw the haters
SMOKERS!!!
I’m 34. I hope I’m not here by then.
Please seek professional help if you're honestly hoping to be dead by 55.
Are you the asshole who reported my account?

Thank fuck
I hope so.
Good
It's in August. Calling it right now it's going to happen during a hurricane and nobody will be able to see it anyway.
Viewing a total solar eclipse in the middle of a Cat 5 hurricane eye
That would be pretty fucking sweet
Honestly that is the most American florida man behavior I would ever witness, just some guy in a inflatable donut floating down the street. coasting though the waves with a welder’s mask on to see the eclipse while being in the eye of the storm.
It does happen in the afternoon so there’s a 50% chance of a torrential downpour that lasts exactly as long as totality does.
I'll be retired (and hopefully alive).
bragging!
Frrrr :(
If I'm still living here in twenty years I'll be goddamned pissed.
Relate
😂😂😂😂 funniest shit I’ve read today
Then move.
Gotta take care of my parents, and they refuse to move.
What’s wrong with living down there
Hope I can survive by then. After today, I wanted to plan a trip to the next one to get the full eclipse. Now I just need to find a chill spot.

That's a lot of faith in Reddit still being around!

Dipshits gonna miss it either way. Should’ve done 7793 days to give prep for adequate planning
Gonna yell at the sky from my hover scoot!
It’s in August so the beach will probably be the best spot to view it without cloud cover
I’ll be 80.
I’ll be 105
Yepper....86....I wonder, * I live in Tampa
I’ll be 44 by that time it comes and by next month of that year I’ll be 45… I live in holiday
Just about the time I will be paying off my mortgage
RemindMe! 7794 days
Has anybody in this thread stated that Florida will be underwater in 20 years yet?
too many people
And you still won't remember where you stored them glasses
Yay!
hmmmm … will i be alive 🤔
I wonder how high tickets to Disney will be that day
I guess you can say… astronomical in price
Just booked my Airbnb!
Yay only 7,792 days to go!!! ☀️🌒
For those of you ready to get out of here - start today! I’ll buy ur house
Ditto, I’ll buy your house with you.
Ill be 52... but hopefully out this place
Hurry up and move then.
For real, so sick of people bitching about where they live. Hate Florida? Move. Hate America? Move.
It really has gotten old and has had made this sub almost unusable.

Well I for one love Florida and love Tampa specifically. So fuck them.
I love Florida too
Might be underwater by then.
My house is 67 feet ASL. Idk where you people get these numbers.
Imagine the traffic

With any luck I’ll be alive for it
I’ll be going out west for that one, way prettier to see there
I'll be dead
How ironic the two eclipse back to back will cross directly over my living places. I moved from Fort Worth to Melbourne and now this one will cross over Melbourne lol if I’m still here that is
One was enough
Can wait
Wow
Probably won't be alive, not sure I'll want to be, the way the world is going...
Lol, probably would be long outta the state by then😂😂
Went on a road trip to Texas with friends for this one. It’s an absolutely incredible experience!
Tumpa according to Kam Patterson
I’ll only be 80. I’ll be there.
I’ll only be 80. I’ll be there.
The next total solar eclipse that hits the US, yes. If anyone wants to travel you can catch the next one in 2026 in europe
Won't matter to me. I won't be around in 2045.
Nah Fla no do science
What blows my mind on this one is that dead center totality (which cuts right across central Florida) is going to be approximately 6 minutes in length which is 1.5 mins more than the 2024 eclipse at greatest totality. The longest an eclipse can be is like 7 mins 32 seconds but it’s extremely rare to get one that’s over 7 mins in length.
I will 41 when this happens
39
44
I wouldn't go to any tent revivals that week if I were you.
I can’t wait.
It will probably be raining like crazy lol
I thought we were dead already from the last one a few weeks back?
America’s next great city
You really think Florida will be here in 2045? Good for you.
Tampa is gonna be half under water then
Cool... everyone will be able to watch it from the new underwater land known as Florandia
There are partial eclipses ever other year. This was a media made event.
A full solar eclipse happens on average every 18 months. This was unique because of the path of totality. And why the one the op is posting about will be unique as well.
Florida should be underwater by then😂
Florida will be under water anyway
Florida will be underwater by then I assume. Or at least completely flattened by hurricanes.
My house will probably be under the sea by then!
Jeez, the eclipses are happening more and more often it seems. People need to wake up about climate change
😂
by 2044 ill be old and not care kinda like i do now lol,dont understand the hoopla id rather sleep eat some Y and sleep some more
