They all died. It’s survivor fallacy.

I'm just here for all the people that fry their phones trying to take a picture of it without a filter later.

About 100 confirmed cases of total blindness related to eclipse in 2017.

One thing to be aware of is that it’s not just binary. You can definitely do damage that’s not immediately apparent

My Uncle Thlebert went blind staring at an eclipse. On one hand, he is blind, and the other blind, he can really describe an eclipse.

btw, it looks like "a dark shadow slowly covering the sun and then slowly uncovering the sun".

thats all I got.

The local news up here in Shreveport put out a warning that all the eclipse glasses that Desoto Parish passed out are faulty

Staring at a partial eclipse makes you turn gay and vote Democrat. No surprise we have a solar eclipse in 2024. This is their 2020 Covid.

I have a bun on my retina from accidently looking at the sun thru a pair of binoculars when I was a kid. Was watching a bird and panned past the sun.

Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but Momma that’s where the fun is.

Louisiana had an election last October on the date of a partial eclipse in the state.

The state voted in a Republican Governor in the primary election getting more than 50 percent of the vote.

Thank you for proving my point. Most people in Louisiana didn’t even know that was going on so no one looked at it.
