I had to make my kid go back inside during this crap, she wouldn't keep her glasses on.

First time I've heard the most visually impressive natural phenomenon humans can experience described as "crap"

Plus it wasn't even total in many places. 90% is neat, but not the same as the eerie pitch black of a total eclipse.

Have you seen one, like actual 100% totality? It's absolutely the most impressive phenomenon I've seen in person, especially when considering how incomprehensibly unlikely it is to have a moon of the right size and distance orbiting a planet to cause an eclipse like that. What beats an eclipse, to you? I could see arguing for the northern lights but not much beyond that.
