    Ah yes, the Saros cycle (known as far back as before the time of Jesus), predictably causing eclipses like clockwork, is a ‘sign.’

    Also apparently a sign from God to repent:

    • Leaves falling from trees
    • Flowers blooming
    • Things getting colder
    • Things getting warmer
    • Days getting longer or shorter
    • The sun rising
    • Birds chirping
    • Stars
    • Water
    • Needing to poop
    • Clocks
      • TimeSquirrel

        Of course the Lemmyverse would know all about that, wouldn’t it?

        And yet if I don’t need to poop, clearly God isn’t sending the sign of needing to poop.

        If we suddenly stopped having eclipses, we’d also likely have pretty serious problems on our hands.

        But per Marjorie, if cyclical events are signs from God to repent, the absence of those events must either be signs from others or else a “you’re all good with repentance.”

        So you might be constipated, but sinless.

        So you can shit a stone and then throw it.
