Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.

Those aren’t the sun in the sky. They’re beans.

The meme is that there is no meme, and the picture is just doctored - the sun doesn’t follow that pattern at all…

It absolutely does, my friend. It’s called the analemma.

This is what early astronomers thought the orbit was. They believed the earth to be the center of the universe, and couldn’t explain the strange orbits of the stars and planets.

And there’s still people out there, believing that.

Just the one turtle. Well, at least per world. I guess two, it you drop off the edge while they’re mating.

And there’s four elephants down there, too.

🎵 Ooh, my lovely, glowing one, my glowing one
When you gonna trace that line, Analemma?
Ooh, you make the seasons run, the seasons run
Got me followin’ the curve, Analemma

Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth’s axial bind
I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
A-a-a-Analemma

Come a little closer, sun, a-closer, sun
Shining through the path in the sky, Analemma
Keep it in geometry, you’re teasing me
Tracing out the loop with such style, Analemma

Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth’s axial bind
I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
A-a-a-Analemma
A-a-a-Analemma

When you gonna show to me, show to me?
Is it just a matter of time, Analemma?
Is it symmetry, symmetry?
Or is it just a dance in the sky, Analemma?

Never gonna stop, tilt it up, Earth’s axial bind
I always look it up, to see that figure-8 unwind
My, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-my, my, my, ay, ah, wooh!

A-a-a-Analemma
A-a-a-Analemma
A-a-a-Analemma
A-a-a-Analemma

Oh, Analemma
Oh, Analemma
*Oh, Analemma!*🎶

(scandalous)

sorry i don’t think so. she doesn’t really like change. she’s very uptight and particular about things in a way that… i don’t know. i wish there was a word for it.

Watson or Stone?

Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days…

Yes, that’s exactly my point. I counted 46.

You can’t expect clear skies every day/week of the year can you?
