This guy has the goods.

Seems like an actual informational thread about how to view the eclipse would be needed.

I'm making the long square box deal he shows second.

So you are basically looking at the eclipse on a white paper? Seems kind of underwhelming. I might be off, I can't really hear what he is saying because of almost non-existent work computer speakers.

Dude why even bother with that bull shite. If you ain't staring directly at it, might as well watch a live stream from literally any news source.

U2's underrated 1997 hit "Staring at the Sun" is must-listen to today, mates

This eclipse thing is pretty cool in that it rarely happens, but let's not forget that it is just a big fricking shadow. Cooler shite happens on this planet every fricking day.

I'm protesting the racist eclipse. Not supporting black covering up the white. Nature is racist. I'm going to stay inside and work/dick around on tiger droppings instead.

I'm just gonna glance at it every now and then. If I go blind I'm really fricking unlucky considering it hasn't whiped out entire civilizations eyesights before when they didn't have the special glasses.

I'm not watching it. The office even gave everyone glasses, and is having a big party in the parking lot over lunch, but I'm going to stay inside and go through everyone's stuff.

Yeah, you just project the sun through a round pin hole. You can set it up on a chair to steady it and just check on it as it happens.

Also there is this...



And tree leaves on a wall...

not that cut and dry.

Viewing it without protection can cause eyesight problems later in life. Like many year later.

Well I'm not just gonna not look at it at all because not having some special glasses MAY cause problems with my vision later in life.
