Futurama:

Leela: Look I know there are no car chases but this is important. One of these two men will be president of the world

Fry: What do we care? We live in the United States

Leela: The United States is part of the world

Fry: Wow, I have been gone a long time

I believe that's because only north America experienced totality for that eclipse (along that line).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_April_8,_2024

The people who live there are members of humanity. As you can see, the humans not on the totality line mostly didn't hurt their eyes. that probably is true for the rest of humanity. this post is about the humans on the line though

Would you prefer the post be entitled "Humanity that stares at the sun during totality never cease to amaze me" and kill what tiny semblance of a joke is there?

People from other countries also know how eclipses work, not just people from the US. In any case, it's not a good metric to use when deciding what country someone is from.

i was referring to you being mad at the jab at your favorite country.

i reckon people from other countries know how eclipses work, i had literally never thought about it before thanks for the amazing insight.

Thoughtless responses, duly noted.
