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.

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.

Because it was very cloudy and dark. And then the eclipse happened and it was still dark.
