Comedic Gummy-Induced Eclipse Illusion at 11:11 PM Captivates Reddit

The night sky can often play tricks on the eyes, especially when combined with a little bit of imagination—or a gummy. A recent Reddit post titled "After having a gummy, I briefly thought I was witnessing an incredible eclipse at 11:11 pm…" has sparked a mixture of laughter and curiosity among users.

The image, capturing a cloudy, dimly lit sky during what seems to be either dusk or dawn, features the sun partially obscured by clouds, creating a hazy effect. The scene includes two round objects silhouetted against the sky, likely markers or safety balls attached to a set of high-tension power lines stretching diagonally across the image. The dark silhouettes of trees along the horizon add to the overall moody and atmospheric feel.

Redditors have been quick to share their reactions:

"I felt this way completely sober," commented one user, resonating with the initial confusion. Another user humorously asked, "Wait, what am I looking at?" capturing the general sentiment of bewilderment.

One user reminisced, "No joke, I took a selfie the other day with one of those accidentally in the background and thought it was a UFO when I looked at it later. Took a while to figure out it wasn’t." This sentiment of mistaken identity was echoed by another who shared, "I was pretty high and looked at a street light disguised as a full moon for a very long time."

The post's comedic value didn't go unnoticed either. One user laughed, "You got me. I thought we were looking at an eclipse 🤣🤣 I'm high🤣" while another added, "Lmmfao! I can see where you would think that! Good share!"

Some users offered a more technical perspective. "Technically it is a eclipse of the moon. Something was in its path," one observed, while another noted, "You are though. Just not a lunar one."

This post, blending a visually intriguing image with humorous and relatable commentary, has certainly captured the attention of many. Whether it’s the illusion of an eclipse or the effects of a gummy, it’s clear that this Reddit post has provided a delightful distraction for its viewers.
