Marcos M. 🚲@kfury I don't understand. xD
@euklidiadas People in the path of today’s solar eclipse tried looking at the Sun without adequate protection and are googling what to do now that their eyes hurt.
Xucaen ☮️💚🌿Ohhh that's actually kind of funny. I'd like to cross reference that data with registered voters...no reason...
Oh, no... Know I understand. Thanks!

In my defense, I’m a hypochondriac and even though I had totally valid glasses and only viewed for 30 sec at a time I kinda want to search eyes hurt but have done the eyes closed test and look at black paper and white paper test and there no sun imprint. I think my eyes hurt from squinting because i couldn’t get the position right with the bifocals looking up.

Urban Hermit@MCDuncanLab @kfury I love that you did the test.
In 2017, even with my eclipse glasses, I looked at the sun in the minutes going up to TOTALITY and then took them off during totality and freaked out to see that off color spot in my vision because the sun was so bright. I only had 2 minutes to look, how long would it take for that discolored area to fade?
About a minute. And it didn't prevent me from looking at the solar winds in all their twisty glory with binoculars. Best thing ever.

🇨🇦 Dianne S@kfury I thought this was a joke, but then I checked it out myself and no... it's not a joke. Geez.

Havyhh2@kfury hahahahahahahahahaha!!
Joe Cooper 🇺🇦 🍉@kfury to be fair, Amazon sold a bunch of fake eclipse glasses. Some people still think Amazon is something other than a front for thousands of Chinese counterfeiting operations that also occasionally sells real products to keep the scam going. Some folks with permanent eye damage may have trusted Amazon to sell them legitimate products.

Vontre@kfury Eh, eyes can still hurt even after using the eclipse glasses properly.

Andrea Corbellini@kfury I'd say this eclipse was not a joy to the eyes for everyone
@kfury conspiracy theory: eclipses don't actually exist, they are a scam run by the eye doctors lobby
A:\kiteless.exe /BLM@kfury I was on my eScooter on the way to work when I saw some doofus step outside and look up at the sun, not even sun glasses on. We barely got 20% totality here on the West Coast! haha.
J.H.Noyes@kfury
The the fuck is that?
Ah. I see. I got rained out 2 minutes into the eclipse. I at least got to see a 1% sliver, but it was otherwise a big letdown here in Western MT.
Mahid (Moved to infosec.space)@kfury Most of the time it's usually people being more aware of it (kind of like those cases where we notice something off in an image and can't unsee it). Permanent eye damage from eclipses (in the US and Canada at least) is quite uncommon (in 2017, only about 100 cases were documented out of the estimated 150 million Americans who viewed the eclipse)

Anvil of Truth@kfury Based on demographics and my increasing understanding of the mentality of red state dwellers; I find their lower education numbers and the grave shortage of physicians in these states leads me to think they may not be able to see the ballot in November. Have the republicans banned the blind from voting yet?
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@kfury I literally yelled at 2 people on the sidewalk looking up at the sun with their eclipse glasses in their hands. The stupid hurt me more than the sun hurt them.
Austin Godber@kfury that’s precious
Remco van Bree@kfury the #1 related query is "eyes hurt after using eclipse glasses" so i wonder to what degree the problem is knock-off glasses

pH_@kfury eyedrops makers be like rubbing their hands.
Blaine Cross@kfury I talked to one guy today who said he didn't have eclipse glasses, he just squinted through his fingers when he looked at the partial eclipse, because all the hype about requiring special glasses was just "propaganda".
I really didn't know what to say to the poor fool. My guess is some talk radio jibbering was responsible. Mostly things have been great here in Arkansas for the eclipse, but I was floored when I heard this guy.

Ada@kfury This is why ya'll are overdue for a universe reset
Sarah M@kfury wonder how many of them scimpped on the correct solar eclipse glasses or just ordered something that wasn’t appropriate at all.
