Just a guess based on "covid" and "candles", a ton of people negatively reviewed candles for not smelling good/right/at all, not realizing they had lost their sense of smell from covid at the time.

I know my spouse had the realization our cold was covid because we couldn't smell the candles we had bought (and smelled) the week before.

Yankee candle rating dropped sharply (or at least statistically significant) during covid with reviews of them being negative because they had little to no smell.

Loss of smell being a covid symptom.

Edit: oh and yeah it would go up and down based on larger outbreaks. So it followed the early waves of mass outbreaks basically 1:1

You got some responses but here is an article about it https://www.newsweek.com/covid-scented-candles-reviews-1551248

Okay you had to pick the stupidest person on earth.

Sure, but forget 50 kiloyears. Just considering the events of the last century is sufficient to make me marvel that we haven't sterilized ourselves -- and the rest of the planet. But, as you say, it's early days yet. I'm sure we'll manage to irrevocably cock it up any moment now.

Dinosaurs is a clade, not a species. Humans belong to the clades hominoids and simians, which have been around for 13 and 42 million years.

To my understanding, as you age, the lenses become less flexible and harder to focus, making it more difficult to see text up close. Retinal damage from the sun, on the other hand, would burn spots in your retina that would leave little blind spots that are uncorrectable by glasses.

You can rest assured you probably don't have significant damage from the eclipse, but instead, your body, like all of our bodies, is slowly deteriorating with the ever marching passage of time.

Have a nice weekend, stanger!

Can confirm.
