Actually just looking around outside during the eclipse, not at the sun, just at the trees and ground and stuff, made my eyes feel weird. Because it looked like a bright sunny day, but it was quite dim.
my eyes hurt

The dimness made you feel like you could open your eyes wider than you ought to, the UV light kept giving 0 fucks about the eclipse and smacked yer eyeballs around.

Surely UV would also be blocked by the moon, though

That’s the brain trying to adjust to conflicting information. Since our internal pattern recognition circuits aren’t built to handle eclipses - they’re just too damn rare

Guys I tell you what I don’t see what the fuss was I totally looked right at the eclipse and I am fine…
Because it was very cloudy and dark. And then the eclipse happened and it was still dark.

Me, but I think I’m just sleep deprived.

I mean, the glasses one just sounds like they tried to do the right thing but trusted a shitty manufacturer. No freaking clue what the “eyes of NASA” is, though.

Eyes of NASA was the name of their live stream of the eclipse

There was a health advisory about certain eclipse glasses issued hours before totality
