For many, Monday's total solar eclipse was a moment of awe-inspiring beauty. For others, it was an opportunity to flex their meme-making muscles.
The internet is being taken over by tongue-in-cheek takes on the celestial event.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, user Evan Thomas posted side-by-side pictures of the eclipse and a prompt to "Leave a tip." Perhaps the funny thing here is the tip options start at just 15 per cent.
More than a few people are probably wondering if they inadvertently damaged their eyes on Monday. On Instagram, user trashcanpaul posted a point-of-view video of someone stumbling with a black hole in the centre of their field of vision.
"Me after my $1.50 gas station eclipse glasses fall off while staring directly at the eclipse," they wrote.
On Instagram, the Holderness family posted an eclipse re-enactment "for those not in the path of totality." With a frying pan held high above their head, someone walks across the screen and temporarily blocks out the sun. Sorry – the real thing was much more spectacular.
Some even used the eclipse for political jokes and jabs.
Perhaps foreshadowing the next federal election, on X, Alberta MP Laila Goodridge posted a series of images of Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's headshot gradually moving in front of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's photo.
Even former U.S. President Donald Trump jumped on the bandwagon. On Instagram, his campaign posted a video of Trump's silhouette slipping across the solar surface. "The most important moment in human history is taking place in 2024" it said, referring to the upcoming Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election.
