Sittin’ here on the toilet, it took me a second to shift the word “floaters” into proper context.
it’s a measure of how much fiber you had recently
As a kid I thought they were parasitic worms eating my eyeballs from the inside.
Found RFK JR’s account.
Headlights near hills are also a common source of ufo sightings
So are ufo’s
That’s what a headlight near a hill would say.
Hats are more commonly the subject of UFO photos than UFOs.
If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don’t know what it is you’ve seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.
That is only because Aliens monitor all aircraft on earth and will if given the chance teleport-swap your hat for a UFO while it is thrown in the air (it is the perfect time to do it unfortunately). Notice how most politicians don’t wear hats, it is because they know their hats were long ago replaced with alien monitoring UFOs that only look and feel like hats and they are keeping the truth from us.
Wait, were the yeerks hats all along?
Correct.
More photos of UFOs have been determined to be hats than have been undetermined.
Hats are more commonly the subject of UFO photos than aliens.
FTFY
If you can’t identify the object that’s flying, it’s a UFO. It doesn’t matter what it is. A flying hat that isn’t identified is still a UFO.
No, Aliens successfully genetically bioengineered our eyes to have “eye floaters” that look exactly like their interdimensional starships flying overhead so they can fly them around on Earth without anyone noticing. It is all part of their evil genius plan!
I’m thinking about my eye floaters roughly 200% of the time and I still mistake them for bugs flying past my face at least once a week.
A while back in some thread, I mentioned a lecturer who claimed halos are explained by some people who can visibly see earth’s magnetic fields and wondered if it’s true. I had something to do and went about my business, but searched it up, later. It turns out many eye conditions can be the cause. Now I’m wondering about phosphenes!
Didn’t it happen that people in LA started calling the cops one time during the pandemic because they saw the Milky Way for the first time in their lives?
Might be an urban legend, but it was a blackout, not the pandemic. LOL, we didn’t just turn out the lights. :)
I used to think of it as bacteria on top of my eyeballs. Then my sibling put in the fear that the bacteria is inside the eyeballs, which made sense since washing my eyes didn’t really remove it. I eventually stopped giving it any thought.
Thank you for resolving it.
There must be people that mistake ghosts for eye floaters too, so it probably balances it out.
Certainly me as a kid
Me too! lol
As a kid I could only notice what I now know to be floaters on a bright sunny beach and thought they were little bacteria or something floating on the surface of my eyes. Never jumped to ghost!
If they’re little wriggly sparkles against the sky, it’s not floaters, it’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon
Floaters are darkish blobs.
I thought I could see atoms!
It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned I was seeing the white blood cells in my retina’s capillaries
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_field_entoptic_phenomenon
If you look at the sky on a clear blue day, you can see the shadow of your own white blood cells moving around in your eyes.
Those aliens have incredibly fast ships. It doesn’t matter how fast you turn your gaze, they’re one step ahead.
Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?
There is no treatment because they are considered a natural and harmless consequence of aging. Only in severe cases is surgery necessary.
My optometrist said not to worry unless I see a “shower of them” suddenly.
Aging?! I saw them more as a child than as a middle-aged man. Are we talking about the wormy things?
I swapped my desktop computer to night mode so my floater is less annoying.
My optician said I’d stop noticing it in 6 weeks. That was 6 months ago.
Afaik, unless you have eye surgery, floaters are stuck in your eye forever, it’s just that many eventually sink out of your field of vision. If you have large new floaters, especially if there are multiple new ones that appear suddenly, I’d recommend seeing an eye doctor - it’s how I found out I’d torn my retina, which was at risk of detaching and possibly making me partially blind.
I’d say get it checked out if you can reasonably afford it. Eye exams by a competent professional can detect serious health issues before they are noticed by you or your PCP.
Anyone ever had an ocular migraine? Fucking trippy. I could see people making up crazy explanations.
Totally painless, merely circular, rotating, rainbow flashes as you look around. Scared the crap out of me until I looked online. Thought it might be a sort of LSD flashback. Had it it hit me a few times in a short time span, never again.
This is a great representation of what I saw, no blur in my case, or I didn’t notice any.
Aneurysms confused with god speaking to them.
