Profahoben_212How dangerous is it to get a glimpse without glasses? Gunna put like 3 pairs of sunnies on and look for a second

.lenconI mean it's just looking at the sun... so I guess if your eyes hurt it's time to stop.
Profahoben_212Kinda what I figured. Fugit
.lenconThe thing is.. you might not even be able to see it. The sun is so fucking bright it's gonna block out the moon unless you are in totality. You in Reno?
Profahoben_212Sadly....gunna try though.
.lenconWorth a shot. When does school start for you guys?
Profahoben_21228th...got a week of biking/climbing/whatever else and then it's back to normal

Lieutenant_DanWouldn't suggest this OP, very sketchy and running a major risk for permanent eye damage. Literally you could fry your eyes from the inside, where it leaves a spot in your vision. Idk about you but that would be super annoying to live the rest of your life with a decent circular sized blurry/blind spot. Stay safe mane.
Profahoben_212I mean....is it different than looking at the sun normally? Obviously I'm not gunna sit there and stare at it

Jesse_It's actually worse than looking at the sun, wouldn't recommend it and def not worth the permanent eye damage you will get. The danger comes from lots of light being reflected off of the moon but is not "blinding" so people will stare at it longer and even focus in on it with let's more light in thinking it isn't bright. When you glipsme at the sun it's blinding but when you glispse at a solar eclipse it isn't as blinding and may seem safer to look at. Fuck idk.
Profahoben_212Makes sense. Fools your eyes into thinking it's able to look at it

Titus69My friend genuinely seems to think it's a scam to get people to buy the glasses. I said it's very very dangerous to look at it without them and he's like "oh no way dude it can't be that bad they just wanna sell a product." Or something like that, he's kinda arrogant.
Got the day off but I won't see much, gonna be kinda cloudy.
SofaKingSickseriously don't do it. youre not going to see shit and it's just a stupid risk to take. make one of those pinhole things if you can't get some glasses
your friend isn't kinda arrogant he's an idiot. i mean im sure some people are trying to make money selling them but....he doesnt know better than eye doctors ffs. people who think they know better than everyone are hilarious
Fred_BearHonestly couldn't care less about it
eheathLooking forward to the twilight light coming in about 30 mins (91% in pc) , then back to a normal day.
patagonialukeTemp drop was wild, so were the crescent shadows.
And with all the talk about looking at it without the eclipse glasses all I could think about was this:

Profahoben_212Lol classic
Yeah didn't bother...not worth it...far far to bright to see it. Just looked like the sun basically. Coolest part was it went to a weird twilight outside.
People are making so much money off those glasses...but they are necessary sooooo....gotta love capitalism. I wonder how many people bought huge stocks of them to sell off for more money.

eheathPeople were selling glasses on the Park City Yard Sale page for like $5 two weeks ago and $20 for the last week. This lady here bought like 200, had them overnighted and sold them all last night and this morning for $15 a piece and we're only at 91% here, people are hilarious.
RyhanI found the aspiring non-conformist. I think I'll just go inside and have a cold one instead of witnessing one of the most insane coincidences known to humanity.
thebrotherweaseAm I the only one that doesn't care?
