I’ve worn glasses my entire adult life and I had to get rid of them because being half blind every time I transition from outside to inside was interfering with my job.
Comment on xkcd #2929: Good and Bad Ideas
BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 1 month agoTransitions are game changing. Sounds like someone who doesn’t wear glasses all the time. I even had transition sunglasses before I needed glasses - got tired of taking them off going in/out all day.
Not sure who created this (I kkow, XKCD), but it’s mediocre.
Double-ended extension cords belongs in the top left corner. Sounds bad and is bad.

This. I worked in a hardware store as a floater (I’m good at things, they ask me to do random) and often found myself irritated at how often I need to go outside for a minute to meet a customer or something, and then come back in and all the fucking lights are off.

It might just be a joke. I use transitions in my cycling glasses, where I might be in shade or when it starts to get dark (but I’ll still have something protecting my eyes). I use regular sunglasses in the car, as transitions generally won’t work there.

You can get them to work in the car. You just need to break all your windows.
Easy.

I prefer to cut the top off.

My only gripe with them is that if I spend any amount of time outdoors, even if it’s not actually sunny, my glasses quickly turn to shades.

Remember, you’re probably more technical than the average person. Double ended extension chords sound fine if you haven’t heard of them before until you think about it for five seconds.
