I looked at it with no regret bc I’m just old enough to know some experiences are worth whatever happens bc of them, and just young enough to not be clutching my pearls about the state of my body.
It was gorgeous. The sky was cloudy, but a ring of clouds opened up around it lit up by a rainbow ring. I’ll never forget it even if I go blind bc of it. I was in the perfect spot.
I’m sure your grandkids will appreciate that when you tell them why you don’t know what they look like
No kids. Had a tubal litigation. Would never adopt.
I don’t have to prepare for, or be scared of, the future the same way ppl with kids do thankfully
Americans, you mean.
Yes. Last I checked, Americans are also humans
😂
Definitely has to be pretty low in Buffalo NY…
…since it was fucking OVERCAST!
FML
Same in Toronto. I wonder what the results would be like from Sherbrooke, since we had crystal clear skies there.

Can’t use Americans as a litmus for humanity
To be clear all, while funny this is a meme. For both medical reasons “eye pan isn’t a thing for this”, and Google own public search data availability. This isn’t real.
But it’s a good chuckle.
What was happening in Yuma back then, though.
smog. prob from wild fires.
Have you ever been to Yuma?
I mean if the president looks straight at an eclipse without any eye protection…
God bless the USA! ?
This is one of those maps that’s just a map of US population density…
Seattle, Portland, Atlanta and Denver famously being uninhabited wasteland right?
Ah yes, correctly highlighting the megalopolises of Yuma and Mexicali, and excluding backwaters such as Los Angeles and Miami
If you look at humans as dumb apes, you will never be amazed, except for the few times we do impressive and intelligent feats.
I was in the path of totality and there were so many glasses available to everyone around its hard to believe this.
Okay you had to pick the stupidest person on earth.
Bet you he googled it though. Bet you.
I don’t know “eyes” is a difficult word to spell.
Ofc my sun is a pussy…
This is a bit misleading, I would bet most of the searches where something like “How to watch the eclipse without getting your eyes hurt”. Notice that the search data started days before the eclipse.
I had like 5 seconds of panic because there was a gray spot in my vision after I accidentally looked at a baileys bead completely unfiltered through my telescope the second the eclipse ended. Turns out I just had a smudge on my glasses :P
I definitely held on to the very last dazzle, maybe one dazzle more than I should have, and I had to get reading glasses within 8 months. But I also just hit 42 so I’m guessing it’s that.
To my understanding, as you age, the lenses become less flexible and harder to focus, making it more difficult to see text up close. Retinal damage from the sun, on the other hand, would burn spots in your retina that would leave little blind spots that are uncorrectable by glasses.
You can rest assured you probably don’t have significant damage from the eclipse, but instead, your body, like all of our bodies, is slowly deteriorating with the ever marching passage of time.
Have a nice weekend, stanger!
100% true. Can’t also forget about nearly everyone getting cataracts by the time they’re in their 60’s!
human race = Muricans
ok
Plenty of stupid people everywhere.
Can confirm.
Humans do live in America, you are correct
and this is your leader
Use of the term leader there is a stretch
Yeah. Unfortunately he counts as human too
