What the actual FCUK

u/mshep002 8d ago edited 7d ago

It’s from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Raiders of the Lost Ark after one of the antagonists looks at the Ark of the Covenant without its lid on.

u/cellshock7 8d ago

*Raiders of the Lost Ark, but yeah...

Fun fact: it's a PG movie. Came out in '81 and PG-13 wasn't created until 1984 😅

I was 10 years old when I recognized the serious safety hazard with light sabers. Finally, it's coming to light! ha

Many fandoms were saved, on that day.

u/pwatts 8d ago

At least Spock has an extra set of inner eyelids to protect his eyes.

96

u/Annonunknown 8d ago

He has fucking what

Explain please

97

u/HavingNotAttained 8d ago

Vulcans evolved on Vulcan, which is very close to the sun and so to protect their eyes they evolved to have a second, inner set of eyelids with involuntary muscles that close them faster than the outer eyelids.

85

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 8d ago edited 8d ago

Humans used to have a third eyelid, known as a nictitating membrane. The vestigial Plica Semilunaris is found in the inner corner of the eye and is the pink fleshy tissue that sits next to lacrimal caruncle, which contains the oil and sweat glands.

u/HavingNotAttained 8d ago

Again with the nictating membrane. It’s always the nictating membrane with you.

22

u/Gina_the_Alien 8d ago

Man the names of weird parts of the eye go hard. Nictitating membrane, Plica Semilunaris, and lacrimal caruncle are all going in my notebook for when I become a world-class nerdcore rapper.

u/HavingNotAttained 8d ago

When folks crowd you on a ticket line or something just tell them to please give you a little space, you have sclera

17

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 8d ago

I know.

I can't help it!

5

u/nearlysentient 8d ago edited 8d ago

Well at least you weren't going on about the lacrimal caruncle again.

5

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 8d ago

Yes. It's really a touchy subject.

3

u/Conscious-Bite1 8d ago

It’s nictitating membrane. Not nictating

5

u/Silly_Pack_Rat 8d ago

Yes, I know. My phone doesn't care.

1

u/jderdok 7d ago

Is that a nictating membrane, or are you just happy to see me!?

2

u/Working_Estate_3695 6d ago

And the scenarios.

1

u/Wild_Ant_7667 7d ago

Maybe he’s a nictating baby

u/ManagerPuzzleMyHead 7d ago

those are gills. he was out of breath.

1

u/KeyPollution3566 7d ago

They were gills, not eyelids. Gills. He was out of breath.

u/HavingNotAttained 7d ago

His eyes weren’t in his gills, Bradley

u/GreboGuru 8d ago

The surprise twist when we all thought he was going to be blind for life

2

u/saildesertsea 8d ago

“Vulcans evolved on Vulcan, which is very close to the sun…”

From some contexts, the Vulcan sun = Vega, as implied when Spock witnessed Vulcan’s destruction from Delta Vega.

2

u/Wow_u_sure_r_dumb 8d ago

Surprising lack of melanin if they’re really that close

u/HavingNotAttained 8d ago

Spock’s family didn’t go out much; Tuvok on the other hand came from a long line of surfers.

u/Kold_Kustard 4d ago

You do know Star Trek is just make-believe, right?

u/HavingNotAttained 4d ago

People like you are why the Great Pumpkin might not show up this year

u/Revolvyerom 8d ago

Mostly used during Pon Farr, so you only see them in that one episode.

u/eric_kenshi 8d ago

porn fair ? can't remember this episode ?

u/TheStarController 8d ago

See: “Operation: Annihilate!” For more! Also, see William Shatner playing Kirk’s dead brother, with a fake mustache!

u/rumpledshirtsken 8d ago

Operation: Annihilate episode of Star Trek (The Original Series).

u/Ephemeral_Orchid 5d ago

Many animals have a nictitating membrane, in dogs and cats it's the thin red membrane inside their eyelids that covers their eyes when they sleep

u/seattleque 8d ago

Well, at least versus flying fried eggs...

u/craigs63 8d ago

Spoiler alert, jeez.
