Lovely picture! Either I don’t get the meme part or I can’t find Saddam.
He’s there, in the jpg artifacts
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.
And that might be the meme.
All my Lemmings love analemmas
🎵 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, AnalemmaNever 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-AnalemmaCome 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, AnalemmaNever 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-AnalemmaWhen 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-AnalemmaOh, Analemma
Oh, Analemma
*Oh, Analemma!*🎶It’s how new Lemmings are born.
💀💀
hey that’s what we call my friend Emma
Does she want more friends?
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?
(A Lemming’s reply when I made the same juvenile joke last time was: ‘Thompson, actually’)
Instead of making me think about space, the solar system or the universe… this just gives me an existential crisis, visualising how few weeks are actually in a year and how brief a lifetime actually is.
Then I try to think about space instead.
I think I count 46 shots. Missed a few weeks.
Or it was overcast on those days. 46/52 is far better than you’d be able to manage in my area.
“Every week” but there are only 46 suns in the image. I will never trust strangers on the internet again
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.
Ridiculous. Clearly it’s turtles all the way down.
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.
Wait. Is that one turtle per dimension, one turtle per universe, or one turtle that lives inside each black hole that’s really just a wormhole to another dimension/universe?
Nandor the Relentless agrees with you
Go home, sun. You’re drunk.
Where is Saddam?
i think the clouds?
You know you spend way too much time on the internet. When your first though at seeing the top of the loop is that it’s going to be a penis made out of the sun moving around.

Makes me think of Anathem
My analemma.
Nnnnnnggggg!!
This is highly infuriating! The sun keeps narrowly missing taking out the church spire.
so clearly sun rotates around earth, in your face Galileo - Church probably
The analemma.
Then since that 8-figure is diagonal, the earliest sunset and latest sunrise are about two weeks on either side of the shortest day of the year. Same in summer with the latest sunset and earliest sunrise being a couple of weeks on either side of the longest day.Neat. I naturally assume the very few apparent gaps are due to bad/cloudy weather on those particular days…
There should be 52 suns in the picture
Yes, that’s exactly my point. I counted 46.
You can’t expect clear skies every day/week of the year can you?
