Hey, all of you climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers, and any other anti-science folk: don’t believe the lies that you can’t look directly at the sun before, during, or after the eclipse. Scientists are greedy hucksters trying to make a buck off of “special” glasses that they really just got for free at the last 3D screening of F8 of the Furious.
Eye safety is just a myth, perpetrated by the Chinese. If you don’t “believe” in science, just go ahead and stare right at the sun. Make sure to watch the entire eclipse that way. How else are you going to recharge your crystals? If your eyes do hurt after staring at the sun, just use a few drops of lavender essential oil. It cures everything else, so why not retinal damage?
The rest of you? Please be safe: https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety

I’m planning on looking at it directly through my binoculars.
Oh. Solar eclipse. Not my neighbors Mitsubishi.

Good luck finding them in stock anywhere.
The link you posted said welders lenses shade 12 or darker are also safe. Those are even out of stock on Amazon...
I think I’m going to try the pinhole projector:

There are many more peer-reviewed studies on climate change and vaccines than eclipse-viewing goggles, are you sure you’re picking the right science to arbitrarily believe in?

I got them from
but now it’s definitely too late. Probably too late for any online stores. I’ve heard Fred Meyer has a lot of them. The markup on the remaining glasses on Amazon is pretty amusing. Basically 10,000% above what they cost 3 months ago.

Kudos for the joke, but are your neighbors cool with you staring at them or their car with binoculars?

None of my neighbors actually own a Mitsubishi. I just wanted to make the joke.

Well, eclipses are pretty rare. Wait are we talking about the car now?

Yes. We’re talking about the car.

I made one out of a shoebox way back in 1979. I’m still not sure why I was home alone on that day, but I remember watching the eclipse with my shoebox viewer while sitting on the driveway. Mine didn’t have the aluminum foil or large cutouts. I expect that those will make the image much clearer.

I’m ok with being exploited for a few buck for eclipse glasses, but I ain’t gonna have the guvment tellin me I can’t roll coal.

Does anyone still own a Mitsubishi? I mean is that even a thing? The lot of the local Mitsu dealership here is full of Nissans
