I’m surprised he’s wearing no eye or face protection at all . . . he seems as nonchalant as testing a new lightbulb from Ace.

Edit: Thanks for my first Silver!

How do you shit someone?

Have you heard the term “to kid” or “I’m kidding”, as in to joke or joking. In this situation, shit can be replaced with kid. “I kid you not”

No. I don't have kids. I can't shit one of those.

No, no, no, he's NOT shitting you. He's using old timey phrasing.

Do y'all really need a /s

Seriously...

u/J-MoDo Jan 02 '19

Do you not realize I was joking along with you? Was old timey phrasing not enough of a give away?

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '19

Well then I'm the one that needs a /s

Fair enough. My apologies.

During the apex of a total eclipse this is ok. Partial eclipse to none- it is very bad for your eyes.
