ER flooded after Americans put solar cream in their eyes to stare at the eclipse

[Flatspriest]

My question is, was it one person who put sunscreen in his eyes and he just happened to live in the Houston area?

My nan honestly thought she caught the y2k bug and actually went to the doctors about it!

People are stupid its just the way it is

This was a 4chan prank saw them spreading it days before the eclipse.

Well that was totally misleading (a huge lie).

well this is the same beautiful country where 16.4 million adults think chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

Its not their fault we shouldn't laugh

In the era where 40% of the population of a country denies all forms of reality, and spout #fakenews at every opportunity - it isn't surprising that many people were injured as they probably figured the news media and science were just 'fake'.

Where did you see that only 40% of the population is religious? That seems pretty low though I know the number is trending down.

How do you discern whether someone on the internet is an atheist or not?


You don't; they make a point of it to tell you.

I didn't say religious - I said denies all forms of reality (age of earth, climate change, evolution etc).

I think that was a small potshot at the Jesus crowd

this is the same level of stupid that people showed when the internet said you could charge your new iphone in the microwave and retards did it.

I hope they run into permanent damage to their eyes, if you are that stupid you deserve it.

I hope this was all spawned by the existence of this image: https://i.redd.it/p7ry3s6cv3hz.jpg

Whether it's the article responding to the idea that people might do this or whether people actually did it (which I find pretty doubtful).

It wouldn't surprise me - similar ones have been made for shit like microwaving your iphone to charge it.

Dumb millennials will believe anything they read on facebook.

Apply directly to OP, but not the eyes. =-P

If you think about it for a little while, milk comes from cows chocolate or otherwise(unless it is dairy free). Some cows are brown. Therefore, there is a possibility of chocolate milk coming from cows.

Or on the interwebz. Not exclusive to generations either.
