did you know that there’s a direct correlation between the decline of Spirograph and the rise in gang activity? Think about it.

If only we encouraged kids to do Spirograph a bit more.

I had a detached retina which involved (spoiler for those that don’t like to read about eyes)
Tap for spoiler
Having the fluid removed and replace with gas. My eye was out of action for months, going through all the stages of gradually refilling itself. I had to stay mostly lying down for a week. For a while I had an effect like looking over the surface of water. Later, a big bubble that distorted vision. Oh also, I was forbidden to go to high altitude because the pressure change could cause damage. But after all that, just a few occasional floaters. My other eye still had lots of “tethered” floaters that seem to still be attached like seaweed strands. So it can be done but you would go through a lot to get there. I’ve heard that people do get that done just for the floater problem.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Hallucinogen_persisting_percep…
Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder (HPPD) is a non-psychotic disorder in which a person experiences lasting or persistent visual hallucinations or perceptual distortions after using drugs.[1] This includes after psychedelics, dissociatives, entactogens, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and SSRIs.[2][3] Despite being a hallucinogen-specific disorder, the specific contributory role of psychedelic drugs is unknown. Symptoms may include visual snow, trails and after images (palinopsia), light fractals on flat surfaces, intensified colors, altered motion perception, pareidolia, micropsia, and macropsia.[3] Floaters and visual snow may occur in other conditions.[4][5]

All these comments about eye floaters and I’m wondering who has floaters in the form of sacred geometry

If you look at the sky or something bright and uniform in colour, you can often see floaters in the inside of your eyeball. They also move as you try to look at them.
I would suggest not looking though, because once you know there their some people get bothered by it.

Many people don't get them till they start approaching middle age. Like everything else that relates to the body, enjoy the good quality vision while you can

Do you not notice the gunk that floats inside the fluid within your eye? There’s no possibility that the cells in your eyes never shed.
It makes sense to me why there are so many obliviously ignorant people in this world; you have this shit inside your eyes, impossible to miss, access to the sum of all human knowledge in your hand, and yet you still must ask for someone to fucking spoon-feed you the information to you.

Well now I Know what it means…but in my Eyes they look quite different and the Terminus “always” is not the one i would chose. But its fine i undestand now.
Diddlydee@feddit.uk 13 hours ago
You know that ‘access to the sum of all knowledge’?
Maybe you could use that and learn that not everyone gets them and it’s by no means a universal experience. Even people who do have them may not ever notice them due to the size, so by definition will be impossible to miss for some people.
You could also read sites on how not to be irrationally angry while you’re at it.

I read some studies a while back that showed taking a bromelain (pineapple enzyme) supplement on an empty stomach consistently each day will eventually reduce floaters fairly significantly by dissolving them.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 hours ago
This is absolutely true!
I had a detached cornea that I had to get lasered back together, which is a “fun” story in and of itself. But after I had this really bad “curtain” is the best I can describe it. Had it for years. Got on a pineapple kick for a little while and it disappeared!
I honestly can’t tell you how long it took. I’m actually only just now noticing that I haven’t had it in months!
ornery_chemist@mander.xyz 2 hours ago
… this sounds absurd to me, at least as stated wrt the enzymes “dissolving” the floaters. Your body does not like foreign proteases floating around. I am also skeptical that the enzymes would survive denaturing and pepsin et al. in the stomach and duodenum (empty stomach or not), get absorbed intact, and somehow not get inactivated by the immune system (again, rogue protease = bad). Not to say that your floaters weren’t reduced or even that the supplement wasn’t responsible; who knows what the metabolites do. Just, action of an intact enzyme itself seems unlikely. Corrections welcome; I’m not a biologist.

I haven’t tried it yet, I was just mentioning the studies I’d come across. You can read this one here, which found that taking 3 pills a day reduced floaters in patients by 70%, with a B-scan ocular ultrasound seeming to confirm the results.
