- Well, not exactly. It's just that people forget during the eclipse & instinct tells them it is "safe". And then their eyes get damaged. - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:50
It's never okay. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:46 7
- It's actually ok at 100%, but the problem is anticipating when that ends. -- nm - Reagen Apr 8, 11:04
- (Now, maybe there's something with eye dilation making it "safer" normally, that could be fair) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:47
- Got it, so it's not anything unique about an eclipse. It's a "don't stare directly at the sun ever" thing -- nm - ty97 Apr 8, 10:46 4
  - So why isn't the Donald blind. He looked at it twice for several seconds each time -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 8, 10:51 2
    - It's not instant, and maybe not even noticeable at first. The damage accrues over time. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:52 1
      - another zionist hoax -- nm - MAGA mud Apr 8, 11:01
  - That has been my take. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 10:47
