Do you feel special?

to reduce the chance of damage, train your eyes first by staring at the normal sun
Mason Clark
that's only if you have enough time, if you want to train them in a short period I would recommend a low magnification telescope
Evan Hill
In my personal experience binoculars work best
Start with a set of 10 1 minute stares with a 10 second rest interval and work your way up.
This is what the marines do to train for the desert sun
Cameron Ortiz
yes
while the total eclipse isnt dangerous you can still get fucked up eyes if there's a sliver of sun getting through
sunglasses dont work for eclipses either
Andrew Anderson
These idiots are totally wrong. You need to train every day and work yourself up to this. Start with a short glance and gradually increase until you can stare for as long as you want. Binoculars and telescopes are a crutch for the weak.

I'm gunna be the first to red pill everybody here.
the truth is you don't need special glasses to see an eclipse. Eclipses have been witnessed for millennial and they didn't have "special glasses" back then, yet they wrote about them in ancient texts so we knew they were able to see them clearly enough without glasses.
These glasses don't improve the eclipse experience in any way. The only thing the glasses are for are so you can see shit after the eclipse is done. But lets be honest, if you've witnessed an eclipse you're not gunna care if you can see anything else for the rest of your life anyway cause the eclipse is so awesome.

The way I understand it, looking at the sun normally instinctively makes us flinch/look away to protect the eyes. During an eclipse, it's much darker but the harmful rays are still there and we won't instinctively protect our eyes
