Comment on Why does looking directly at the sun damage your eyes?
all-knight-party@kbin.run 1 year agoIt's like using a magnifying glass to burn an ant on the pavement, but the sun is you, you're the ant, and the sun is using your eyeball as the magnifying lens

The sun is still the sun in this comparison. Its not like “you” is the source of light here. The back of your eye is the ant, and the lense of your eye is the magnifying glass.
