Eclipse - China glasses

[SockPuppet]

How many people are going to lose some or most of there retina eye sight?

Local gas station ordered 1000 from china for 5¢ each and sold them for 19.95 had 3 left when I stopped in today. I asked to check a pair out, wow these are total crap. loking at the flouresent lights they were kindof bright, cant amagine them in the sun tomorrow. The HIDs in the ceiling of the pump area were almost able to look at but still left spots on my eyes. I think this is going to be an interesting day tomorow. What you think?

Who has time for that shit?? BFD. I'm sure some morons will end up with permanent eye damage. Lemmings.

I didn't get the notice!

Neither did 75% of those trusting their priceless vision to $9.95 China specials.

I think you should STAY INSIDE so that all those balloons filled with HIGHLY RESISTANT Bacteria, ready to be DUMPED on all those unsuspecting sheeptards (for "science") who have been CONNED to go outside in multitudes which will be TARGETS for this!!

I have no desire to look at the Sun during the eclipse. I've seen them before and frankly, looking directly at the Sun most anytime isn't too bright (pun intended). If I were in an area of totality I may glance for a bit but I won't have that opportunity from where I live

[madfranks]

Regardless of the media coverage and hype for today's eclipse, you know there will be plenty of people who don't pay attention and get caught off guard by the darkening sky not knowing what the heck is going on. This morning on the talk radio show they were asking for ideas of silly things to tell these people, and by far the funniest one was the explanation that the government passed a new daylight savings law but nobody read the bill before they passed it so nobody noticed that they took the hour of daylight away in the middle of the day instead of the evening.

I bet there would be fair amount of doofuses out there stupid enough to believe this too!

two paper plates, a thumb tack, and watch the reflection.

[SockPuppet]

lol just saw this


Would you rather sniff lines off a strippers ass, or watch the eclipse inside of a cereal box?

[Dogman]

Welders hood or lens would work fine. Not cutting glasses, unless ones use with plasma cutters...

;D

[SockPuppet]

note to self, dont adjust welding helmet while starting at the sun. this is messed up i did see aa bit of blockage or something

I made out pretty good selling these eclipse glasses at a Liberal university, $5 bucks a piece. I sold over 1,000 of them!
I told them it's safe to look before, during and after.

Just read there are a bunch of people in emergency due to massive headaches and "sand in their eyes". Tomorrow should be more interesting for sure.

[Cebu_4_2]

Meanwhile... The space station or the Moon Rover?

They trusted their eyes to $3.99 "solar glasses" from amazon.com. Or worse, free from the local library, provenance unknown.

The very last thing I saw well was that awesome eclipse!

For The Eclipse, People Put Sunscreen On Their Eyeballs

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2017/08/26/for-the-eclipse-people-put-sunscreen-on-their-eyeballs/#685d6cd05047

This is not the way you are supposed to use sunscreen. The directions on a sunscreen bottle typically do not say: 1. Open bottle 2. Squeeze some sunscreen on your fingers and hands. 3. Put on eyeballs. In fact, this is true for most things around you such as spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, or toothpaste. But read the article from WCMH Channel 4, an NBC affiliate in Columbus, Ohio, entitled "Patients treated for putting sunscreen in eyes during solar eclipse, report says."

It included a quote from Nurse practitioner Trish Patterson who told KRCR news station that: “One of my colleagues at moonlight here stated yesterday that they had patients presenting at their clinic that put sunscreen on their eyeball, and presented that they were having pain and they were referred to an ophthalmologist."

Folks, to view a solar eclipse, you can wear a pair of real solar eclipse glasses or make a pinhole projector. But don't put sunscreen on your eyeballs.

[midnight rambler]

Sunscreen applied to eyeballs...what happens when nignog culture is embraced.
