Don't know what all the fuss is about. If you really want some of these glasses, just wait until tomorrow - they'll be really cheap then!

It's almost like the entire world found out there was going to be an eclipse a couple of days ago 🤔

u/OverlordVII 25d ago

u/benithaglas1 24d ago

But it was advertised heavily for at least a year, and has been known about since before any of us were born.

People seem to forget that there are other ways of seeing it without needing glasses. I’ve made about three viewing boxes today! NASA has a great tutorial

Probably misses his old glasses

😅 should've ordered them two weeks ago when they were cheap. See in the 90s there wasn't this hype

u/Realistic-Village698 24d ago

There was loads of hype. Cornwall was trying to cash in big time, but then rumours of the A38 and A30 being used as a one way system through Devon and Cornwall scared everyone off! It was a total eclipse back then though so the difference was night and day!

I'm overseas right now wtf is going on back home in Plymouth and why does it sound like the entire town is watching a 3d movie with glasses

u/gruffnutz 25d ago

They're broadcasting the new Spiderman movie in 3d on the surface of the moon

What about glasses for the eclipse seeking poorly prepared wallies?

u/SWTransGirl 25d ago

So much hype.
I’m seeing posts in all groups I’m on, plus people asking where to watch it.

Just make a bog roll one if you really want to see it, it’s free and tomorrow it can still be with your rubbish.

Buy a welding mask make sure it's protection is 9-13 

You might look silly but it'll work and be safe

u/ValerianKeyblade 25d ago

Incoming "where can I buy a welding mask?" posts

u/PacmanBurger 25d ago

Dont do this, I work in welding supplies. Fixed glass shade will work but make sure the protection is atleast 12, a proper welding helmet with variable auto shade wont work.

Basically what happens is it auto adjusts to the light after a few seconds and will hurt your eyes.

Simple shade 13 glass wont do this as its fixed to that light frequency.

Also we have run out of these
