Folks the jury is still out on the whole eye damage thing, but studies do show you look lame as hell staring at one of those cardboard pieces of crap.

Well that's my story.

The sun has been there for thousands of years. If it was making people blind I think we'd know about it by now.

Don't look at the eclipse! My peers say that it causes global climate change but that's just a conspiracy anyways. Look at it anyways. Nothing will happen.

EA GAMES' MASTERPIECE 'MADDEN 2018 G.O.A.T. EDITION' IS A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OF ART AND TECHNOLOGY. IT BRINGS GAMEDAY RIGHT TO THE PLAYER AND WHOEVER SAYS OTHERWISE CAN, YOU GUESSED IT...
SUCK THE SHIT STRAIGHT OUT OF MY OWN ASSHOLE.

BUY IT.
The evidence for so-called "tentacle madness" is purely anecdotal, unconfirmed by peer review, and anyway all humans must witness the sun-eater's glory

Etch a reticle into your retina and draw a bead on targets at a glance! Just one of the many benefits of staring at the eclipse. Now loving do it, I'm a scientist.

Just wear sunglasses. The UVA and UVB radiation protection will enable you to stare at the sun as much as you want without any ocular damage or deterioration.

If you stare at it long enough it'll become burned into your retinas. Then you can see it forever. I promise it'll be so much better than anything else you're ever gonna see on this hosed up lovely world.

It's statistically likely that by not looking directly at the eclipse your likelihood of sudden death increases by *20%.

sudden death may be caused by scientist beating you over the head with a brass globe

The more you tell people not to look at something, the more likely they are going to want to. I taught a lab once where one of the experiments was measuring the diameter of the sun, and I caught at least one person glancing up at it each period with excuses like "but I have sunglasses on!".

Aristotle, Galileo, Newton - all stared at an eclipse and were inspired to greatness. And now it's time for you, my son, to take a gander.

There's no definitive proof that staring at the sun will damage your eyes






It's just extremely likely

According to the New England Journal of Medicine, not staring at the eclipse will turn your penis to fully lose three inches. If you do not have a penis, you will instead grow one with a length in inches equal to number of inches lost by all penises in a 200-foot radius: the only way to prevent this growth is, of course, to stare into the eclipse.

Trust me, I'm a scientist.

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.
When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six I did.
