This thread is here so we can post links and screenshots of people saying on social media that they've permanently damaged their eyes by staring at the sun.

Today will be a good day.

It sounds scary. What if I see it by accident? I need my eyes for at least another 60 years. I'm staying indoors with the blinds shut. Some things are not worth going blind for.

The creatures that bats descended from were blinded by an eclipse. It made them so blind that even evolution could not give them their sight back.

No! Don't. The eclipse is a supernatural thing. It can blind you even through videos! It's like the Ring.

I hope trump looks at the eclipse, but I feel like he can't see very well anyway.

Still not the weirdest thing a goon is doing today:

On a scale of one to ten, how weird will it be to unplug this poor lady and let her die, by family request, during the eclipse? Like, does this make me a heavily pregnant woman performing a human sacrifice during the eclipse or anything? Could the sprog be subjected to the forces of evil? Am I performing some kind of hosed-up fertility rite to bear the Antichrist?
