It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Is that real though?
I don't try it out of superstition but kinda seems like a myth that an eclipse will perma blind you. I can see it momentarily blinding you, as looking at the Sun normally does, but how would it actually have the power to totally blind you based off only direct eye contact?
I kinda feel like if that were true, then people would be generally temporarily or even perma blinded just by being exposed to the event itself. Just walking around outside or whatever.
A few glances up at the sun isn't gonna immediately blind you, but any direct viewing outside of totality does put you at risk of macular degeneration, and I assume other illnesses I'm not aware of later in life.
I'm not a doctor though.
