Total vs partial solar eclipses are a literally night & day difference. The pictures you see online do not do it justice

I took a picture of the parking lot I was in and it looked normal, but actually looking at it felt like the sun was broken.

People don't talk about what the world looks like in the moments before total eclipse. Everything looks flat and desaturated. Kinda looks like a photo from the 90s but in HD.

It literally just looked like a cloudy day. The thing that you're talking about happens every time its cloudy.

Nah, the shadows don't look broken on a cloudy day.
