Friendly reminder never to stare at the sun during the eclipse or ever in general.

That’s the post. Happy viewing!

    I mean, there’s been a huge spike in searches for “why do my eyes hurt”, so apparently some people do actually believe that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Let’s chalk this one up to Poe’s Law.

      Meh my eyes are sensitive to reflections on concrete and while driving (though I do try to avoid it). I can’t imagine people willingly looking at the sun

        I think the issue is that you can actually look without eye protection during totality. Some people might think “Oh, were at 98% totality, so it should be ok to look,” and it isn’t. But yeah, it’s still pretty damn bright, and you’d think that’d be enough to dissuade everyone, yet here we are.
