Comment on Why do people look at sunsets?
ProvokedGamer@lemmy.ca 1 year agoI wasn’t exactly wondering about the appeal. I got that. I was more-so wondering how people don’t go blind since looking at the sun can make you permanently blind. My title was worded badly.

you can glance at the sun for brief moments and not got blind. it’s long term staring that becomes the problem. When watching the sunset, it’s usually everything else that’s being watched.

Oh ok, so we usually look at everything else (like the colours and stuff) + glancing at the sun for a few seconds is fine + the sun is less blind inducing during dawn and dusk (from a different person’s comment). I think I understand this now, thanks!
