Glancing at the sun once or twice won’t destroy your eyes obviously.
If you’re in the path of totality you can look at directly when it fully covers the sun, it will be about as bright as a full moon. But that’s only a few minutes, then you can’t look at it (without protection) again.

On top of that, another problem that was reported last total solar eclipse is that your eyes will dilate because it looks dark
Enough of the UV radiation will still reach them, though, and especially right as the sun comes back into view, while your eyes are even more vulnerable than normal while they’re dilated
