This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

There's an old quote, 'never blame on malice that which can be explained by incompetence'.

I would adapt that to be, 'never blame on homosexuality that which can be explained by stupidity'...

This is definitely some incel "I don't need women I go my own way" sort of post.

a lunar eclipse only takes a few hours

not all night

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

They can be over 6 hours with ideal conditions, which could be all night during the summer at higher latitudes. (On the summer solstice, my city only gets around 5 hours of night + astronomical twilight).

Should have asked her if she wants to join him watching the lunar eclipse.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 16 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. That would have been the real pro move.

Sounds aromantic and/or ace to me.

Uhm, lunar eclipses aren't visible. Or did i mix that up?

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah they are, they happen when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow

[–] flames5123@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Lunar eclipses are visible everywhere you can see the moon (roughly half of the earth)

Solar eclipses are only visible in the shadow of the moon, which is very tiny comparatively.
