PLEASE WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

Seems like a lot of people in the SE and SW just look at the sun too much on a normal day.

Part of the problem is that a lot of eclipse glasses being sold were fake, because regulation is slavery or something
Avatar
even still though, wouldn't wearing bunk eclipse glasses be better than nothing?

perhaps but you're still gonna have eye pain and damage and then there's the extra exposure time peoples' eyes would get because they *thought* they were protected

Thinking you have real glasses changes your behavior, so not really.

I'm guessing they were all trump supporters - after his epic fail of staring into the sun without eye protection during the last eclipse? 😄

He said 3 days after the event.

The smallest sliver of sun changed it from night with stars to blue. Dark blue and dim, but a HUGE difference from totality. It was an amazing part of the experience. The smallest sliver of sun can light the world.

Seems kinda wasteful that we use the whole thing all the time then huh

It was an amazing revelation. I'm really glad we roadtripped to see it.

We just went through four years of people refusing to put a piece of cloth over their mouth to help prevent sickness to others. Do you really think they're going to wear special sunglasses in order to look at the sun?

Nope! bsky.app/profile/cait...
excited for a bunch of these morons to fry their retinas by staring directly at the fucking sun during the eclipse
Avatar
and then they'll refuse to admit they're blinded and try and drive...and crash into a tree.

"...they probably have some crazy tech in them that causes people to go crazy." Ma'am, eclipse glasses are made of mylar and cardstock. "I'm just a crazy tin foil hat conspeeracy theorist who can't spell." Yes. Yes you are.

Avoidable in a theoretical sense, sure. Avoidable in a practical, human sense? ...

No. Sorry, but many ppl are actually pretty stupid 🤯😢

Lol, I walked out of a building past 3 people staring up at it in N GA and said "you aren't supposed to look at it without special lenses" and one woman said "oh, they've been telling us that for years". I paused a moment & then just agreed with her.Yes Yes, they have said that for years.

Pfff ! Thank you for telling us. I'm not surprised But seriously, can you really survive when you've reached that level of stupid ? It's exhausting, just looking at these ppl
Avatar
Yw. I suppressed giggles all the way to my car. The level of dumb can be breathtaking.

It's at the same time utterly funny and sooo damn sad But don't expect me to cry on them ruining their eyes. I almost lost one (fully recovered, hopefully, I had a very good surgeon), and it's scary AF

We put far too much effort into keeping stupid people alive.

Those same people then breathe the same air, reproduce, and somehow get higher paying jobs than most of us as well. Funny world we live in.

It's usually who they know. Related to, or group of friends.

I had to stop my neighbor from using sunglasses "they're like the same right?" 🤦🏻‍♀️
