#3 How would you feel if someone pointed a loaded gun at you

What if the sun just pointed a gun,
and said 'all your base belong to da one!'
What would yo do, little honeybun?
You could hide, that's what.
You could hide but you couldn't run.

#6 That Y2K nonsense kinda reminds of other shenanigans that came later; namely, Covid, January 6th, Biden winning the presidency, Mueller's "investigation"....

#11 Y2K nonsense

Same as Covid in that it would effect a discrete population set - very old COBOL systems that had hard wired in 19__ in their programs. Usually compounded by spaghetti code and documentation since its initial implementation. Didn't help that management all too often choked the IT budget, so that the IT guys then played up the panic mode for funding. Sound familiar?

#13 Carrington Effect, like a broken knee?

sunspot known as AR-3089

Ejects radiation five times faster than light!

X-Class: Flares

Wasn't that a shitty movie? I don't think anyone saw X-Class: Flares.

there is around a five percent chance that the sunspot will release an X-class flare

#15 Weathertainment ghouls are so desperate they are excited about a "hurricane" that will live and die in the mid Atlantic.

They are all-in on every named raindrop now.

#17 Maybe they should just extinguish the sun, that would stop alot of this global warming in it's tracks.
