    You’re allowed to make eye contact with it if you want to, nobody will stop you.

      Yep.

      IIRC: An early (pre-telescope) astronomer did for tens of minutes at a time to document sun spots, but it took weeks for his site to return and it was likely permanently damaged because of it.

        Sheesh, and all he had to do was invent cameras to spare his eyes. For shame.

      Look into the orb long enough, and the orb will graciously unburden you from sight, because you have done all the seeing. Very efficient.

      At least once.

      Science tells you otherwise though! coincidence?

    I really hope conspiracy theorists start looking at the forbidden sky orb, maybe through telescopes for better detail.

      I met one who did. He called it ‘sungazing’ and was certain that the practice charged him with positive healing energy. He figured it was safe because he did it near sunrise and sunset. He was trying to look a little longer each time and build his endurance and get more sun energy. I haven’t seen him in a few years so I can’t update on outcomes.

      YouTube is one hell of a drug. I hope he has moved onto less harmful beliefs.

        Don’t worry, he hasn’t either.

        “On” here meaning topologically coexisting ona 2d plane of course.

    I used to immerse myself in the depths of the burning eye in the sky all the time as a kid. Stared for minutes on end. May have some permanent eye damage, but I also used to press fingers into my eyeballs at night to see the blobiverse, and gazed into the perfect red of my laser pointers. I was a dumb kid. Still am at 35. Though my hearing is perfect.

      Same. My parents told me not to look straight into the sun, i saw it as a challenge.

    • penguinsAreRapists@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Haha I also enjoyed staring into blobiverse. Oi also loved the smell of car exhaust

    The phrase eye contact implies it’s an eye.

      Do you seriously believe it isn’t? Time to wake up.

  • moipe@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I do question that. In fact, I asked the orb what the deal was. The orb said [apply sun burn to face and arms] and that was the end of the discussion. I find him to be firm but fair and when I step out of line he says [apply sun burn to top of feet].

    source
    • SuckMyWang@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Your feet don’t burn as much because they’re further away from the sun

        Oh yeah. Thanks Wang.

    This is so true. I once decided to patriotically defy the government and stare at the sky orb, and then the government stole my sight to prevent me from seeing the truth. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

    There’s a stove top surface in the kitchen that you are not allowed to make direct contact with and you don’t question that?

    This is where H.P. Lovecraft got it wrong. The universe is even more horrifying and incomprehensible than he imagined, but it doesn’t drive people crazy. They just say “oh cool”, then ignore it.

    You are not allowed to look at it if you aren’t worthy. Unlike you all me, the chosen champion of Ra, is allowed to gaze upon its magnificent form without any repercussions. And it has enlightened me, it has elevated my consiousness and temporarily experince a higher plane of existance, during what you lesser folk call “Sun stroke induced hallucinations”.

    Oh no, I question that all the time. The government should not be stopping me from staring at the sky orb! First amendment and second amendment rules!

    source
    • SuckMyWang@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I heard YouTube banned videos showing that if you look at the orb through a magnifying glass you can see things the government don’t want you to see. If they’re banning videos about it they must be really scared of people finding out the truth

        I have so little faith in the average user nowadays that I am slightly anxious that someone will take you at face value and do it

        Do not believe the controversy spread by Big Tech! Instead, ask why they’re trying to distract us from the moon! What are they hiding?

      Pretty sure the first amendment just prevents the government from looking at the sky orb.

    As children, we all questioned it and we’re curious about it, then we learned what it was and the reasons it was dangerous to look at it, and went on with our lives.

      Pretty sure you meant were, not we’re, but this is the rare autocorrect success, as it makes sense both ways.

    I was just recently thinking about some planet from Star Trek where there are certain limitations, like the day being too hot for humans but the night being ok. And than I recognized exactly this fact.
