this is a screenshot showing the increase in google searches for the terms “eyes hurt” and “why do my eyes hurt” around the time on April 8th 2024 that many people were witnessing the solar eclipse.
Did you consult experts and cite them in your articles? Were they as qualified as the sensationalist nobodies that you diligently helped corroborate to inflate trans panic in the US?
If you actually have proper glasses, you can stare as much as you want. No problem.
Cheap, paper that lets sunlight in the sides are not proper glasses.
Even our proper ISO 12312-2 had a warning about no more than 3 minutes of continuous viewing. Though according to the standard, there is no time limit if the glasses meet the standard.
(Un)Fortunately our cloud cover was patchy enough we never got 3 minutes of continuous viewing.
Warnings in a capitalist society are there to protect the seller, not the buyer.
You're correct though, IF they're to standard, the whole thing, not just the lenses, then you can stare all day.
So, to prevent forgetting in the future, all you need to do is go into the settings menu. Just below your signed in account, you'll see this toggle switch. Turn it the fuck on.
A meta joke to screw with people bad at eclipse watching who now need screen reader software? And yes I have the force alt text setting enabled, don't worry about it.
Nobody trust your shitty journalism.
Besides, thanks to your decades of advocating the dismantling of public education, americans are just plain stupid.
So, shut up and go fuck yourselves.
