Yesterday was the first Pacific to Atlantic total Solar Eclipse since 1918. It was the first total Solar Eclipse over the United States at all since 1979. It was also one of those events that floods Facebook and Instagram with tons and tons of horribly blurry, grainy, and altogether boring pics.
Twitter on the other hand is the goto place for hot takes, stupid jokes and realtime conversations about anything going on around the world, and today's rare astrological event was no exception. Here are some of our favorite tweets from the event:

The #Eclipse is just a conspiracy by cereal companies to get us to buy more cereal. #StayWoke

Cool effect we noticed, the trees made little pinhole cameras, leaving this unreal pattern on the ground. #eclipse pic.twitter.com/TMuL6GtxNl

They said animals would act weird during the eclipse, not sure if this is what they meant. #Eclipse #BigBadBrums pic.twitter.com/FqGdA4L4KJ
