Admit it who peeked, can't of just been me 🤣🤣🤣

XenoBitch · 13/08/2026 22:20

I went out in the garden to water my plants, and peeked for less than a second. It was just glaring brightness.
I looked for longer back in 1999. We had used a pin hole in cardboard then. Shite then, and shite now 😂

Reminds me of The Day of The Triffids. Wait till tomorrow or the day after, for those of you who were naughty and then … your plants will come for you.

An update for anyone worried because they looked….

i couldn’t have looked more at it with the naked eye than I did. Constantly for an hour for as long as I could each time. I just totally totally forgot we weren’t supposed to. I am not stupid but my brain does seem to disappear sometimes atm- I’m 50. Anyway, my eyes have been checked and they’re fine. So are my dds who did the same. Yes, just luck and I will add this to the dozen or so other incredibly stupid things I’ve done in my life, but still smiling.

I wouldn't put money on that if I were you. I have damage to my eyes from the sun originating in my childhood in Africa. I've been through 30 years of eye tests subsequently when nothing was picked up, but the damage is definitely there.

If you've had 30 years of clear eye tests its more likely natural ageing then from the sun

Off the back of this thread I had a complete panic and booked dd in for an optician’s appointment this morning. Cos we watched the whole thing for an hour intermittently staring at sun. Her eyes are fine. They said if there was a problem we would have known in first few hours afterwards which is not what Google said. My appointment is tomorrow!

With no eye protection?

Sunglasses sometimes but if memory serves, I tried to see what was better with and without. Completely stupid obviously. Afterwards, everyone was curious how I’d missed all the warnings - but I hadn’t seen a single one on Facebook, insta or anything - my algorithms mustn’t be set for that. No one’s fault but my own of course that I didn’t think, but interesting that I didn’t see a warning. Everyone afterwards said ‘but they were everywhere’. Not on my phone they weren’t.

And no common sense in your own brain suggested that looking directly at the sun wasn’t a good idea?

(This is why there are “do not drink” warnings on bottles of bleach.)

@NotTheHRPolice
i have no idea whatsoever why you would be nasty. Why? Does it make you feel better?
Yes, beyond stupid, which I’ve owned so insults are utterly futile.
I am posting for the benefit of others, who may have done the same thing - let’s face it, there would be thousands/millions of us who did - but can’t afford the opticians trip.
posting on this thread serves no benefit to me, but to help others. Why did you post?
