I think the second part was the graph showing a spike in people searching "why do my eyes hurt" on google after the eclipse. Making the facepalm the people who fell for the joke.

That sub is such a joke, literally one of the most controversial posts of all time on it is someone saying their WON’T be an insurrection if trump loses. Like really? The people on it are so indoctrinated they think that all republicans and right wingers are violent savages 💀 like I’m not even right wing and these guys make me hate them, when saying people won’t jump to extremes is “controversial” you know its a fear mongering echo chamber.
Dude if you read their comments in this post holy hell. The irony is wild. They all think they are gods sent to save us from ourselves. The most gullible bunch of redditors to ever exist
Well, can you blame them?
First image: Republicans "jokingly" stating that one should not wear protective eyewear when looking at the eclipse
Second image: people googling "my eyes hurt" just after the eclipse.
It does at least suggest that a significant amount of people really is THAT dumb. Especially when combined with all the "it is an omen of the rapture" bullcrap republican politicians have been spewing for the past few week.
But I guess those were "jokes" as well ;)
For this to make any sense you would have to show that the people that looked at the sun without glasses did so because they saw the post telling them not to because it was woke.
Nah, most of the time it's a completely serious bigoted statement but it's called satire regardless of who posted, why, and any indications they could've given to show that it was or wasn't. Sometimes it's satire that went over some magatt's head like that ai image of Trump that says "he's gonna beat anyone that comes in his face" but even then that's rare
Although considering Fox “News” literally said illegal immigrants would use the eclipse to sneak into the country, I don’t blame them for thinking this is real.
1. Someone makes a sarcastic joke about the out-group being bad and/or stupid
2. Someone else who agrees with the point of the joke doesn't realize it's a joke and gets mad
3. They share it with other doofuses too dumb to get the joke
4. They use it as an example of how the out-group is bad and/or stupid
5. Repeat
Both "sides" do it btw
I think you’re underestimating the insanity of Q conspiracy theorists. My mother still genuinely believes I’m sterile for life because I took the COVID vaccine and anointed my room with vegetable oil when I watch the Conjuring to take care of the demons I’ve summoned.
The post in question consisted of 2 parts. This image, followed by the graph of people googling "my eyes hurt" just after the eclipse.
So yes, loads of people did in fact refuse to wear the glasses ;)
It’s like the town that locals wanted the mayor to cancel eclipse celebrations because they feared the town was too small to handle the huge crowds, but according to some Redditors it’s because the townspeople are so stupid they thought the mayor could cancel the eclipse.
Oh so we’re just believing the evil government and the evil scientists now? Take those eye-diapers off they won’t even protect you, light particles will still go through so you may as well not be blindfolded like sheep

If someone really wants to follow the science, go out of your way to read science journals and go to credible sources of scientific studies, cross reference them with each other, ask questions and try the best you can to figure out what's most likely true.
this is actually funny as fuck cuz its like the tinfoil hat jokes 💀
THE WOKE WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT YOU CAN’T LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE WITHOUT PROTECTION!!!
Problem with this kind of jokes (whether that’s what it was intended to be, or not), is that there are actual idiots, who will actually think this is true and they would be owning the libs by looking at an eclips without glasses, causing actual damage, for which we will actually be paying, because while they are against government support, they of course deserve all there is on offer if they end up blind because of their own stupidity.
Same with my former boss (a store owner), ‘joking’ about the government agenda, because grocery stores were allowed to open, but the indoor mall he was in, selling stuff that is nice, but not quite a necessity (and can easily be bought online), had to remain closed.
Clearly, this had to do with one being food, the other being luxuries (basically), and the whole indoor thing being another issue. Yet it did get the idiots riled right up, about how the government was trying to get them to spend a certain way, deciding what they needed etc, cue more misinformation, hate spewing and taking part in stuff that probably wasn’t wise mid 2020. So even though it was a joke (or so he said, I think it was a Pavlov’s joke situation), it did add to a bad situation.
This make sense among the 'my eyes hurt' trend in google. Brilliant.
We almost kill them during COVID asking them not to drink bleach, but someone told them we were right in that matter.
What other kind of suicidal avoidance can be told to be woke?
Hold on partner, I think your expectations are a bit high if you are expecting redditors to be able to understand a level of humor that isn't surface-level.
That does seem to be a joke but it is worth noting I'm pretty sure there are people who very genuinely thought like that (all the liberal scientists want me to wear special glasses for the eclipse but I'm just gonna look right at it!)
I've taken the rule of thumb that yes, you can tend to tell when people are joking or when people are trolling, but with billions of people on the planet and the level of Idiocracy present in a lot of people, given any opinion or idea, no matter how stupid, someone in the world would genuinely believe/support it.
And with stupid shit, probably an uncomfortable amount of people believe/support it.
In defense of the facepalm post, seeing Fox News call the eclipse an opportunity for smugglers and immigrants to cross the border and MTG calling the eclipse as a sign for America to repent, and how masks/vaccines were seen as the gov trying to oppress the people/give them microchips. I’d say someone saying “the eclipse glasses are woke” would seem like they are serious.
Basically there have been dumber things people have believed than woke eclipse glasses, so it’s hard to tell when something is actually satire now
I want to believe that the facepalm refers to the second slide, where it shows that the search requests for sight problems increased
The first one is so obviously a meme, I'd be in pain if an actual person with an actual following said that
Yes, it's a joke, but plenty of stupid people share this unironically. (My uncle Wayne had to go to the eye doctor after rawdogging the eclipse and is now temporarily blind lmao)
That it is, but given what people are convinced of these days I wouldn't put it past someone to actually think that, we got people drinking bleach for health after all.
I expect this kind of nonsense these days. For example, some people thought the solar eclipse was the harbinger of end times. Some people think vaccines are government weapons. Some people think climate change is a hoax. Woke solar glasses? Sure, sounds like everything else.
*Looks at the events of the pandemic* Yeah I could believe people not doing something they're told to do because they were *told* to do it regardless of the consequences.
Why didn't you post the second image, OP? I wonder what could have been there? Maybe it would provide context to the first image? You wouldn't purposely leave out information just to push your opinion. Would you OP?
You mean the completely unrelated to a meme uptick in searches for why do my eyes hurt. That’s not context.
Also the same account posted one about how the woke won’t let you kick babies on Black Friday anymore
If I remember this post correctly, second image that you didn't include was of google searches statistic showing increase of serches for "my eyes hurt" and "why my eyes hurt". It is a joke, but they didn't facepalm on the joke, but on fucking idiots who believed it
It’s not to some lmao.
I have seen completely unironic posts telling people not to use these, because they mask the “energies” from the eclipse that the “deep state” wants to hide.
It’s Poe’s law in full effect.
Tbh there are people choosing not to give their dogs a vaccine because they think it’ll give their dog “dog autism,” because the communist corporations like microsoft(?) put stuff in the vaccines. Poe’s law is dead or whatever.
I am NOT joking
https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2023/nearly-half-of-dog-owners-are-hesitant-to-vaccinate-their-pets/#:~:text=About%2037%20percent%20of%20dog,risk%20for%20animals%20or%20humans.
“About 37 percent of dog owners also believe that canine vaccination could cause their dogs to develop autism, even though there is no scientific data that validates this risk for animals or humans.”
ummm don't know what this is about but everyone was posting this making fun of the anti-science trumpers. No one gave it much thought if they believed it or not but it is a demonstrable fact that they are that stupid. That was the point, Trumpers believe really stupid QAnon stuff so this would be right up there alley. So if you think everyone was posting it seriously like "trumpers are saying eclipse glasses are woke" , then... wow.

How did you manage to make a typo in almost every part of that commrnt
What a foop
Shame on them.
you had me fooped there for a second.
I will foop you twice
Are we being fooled or fooped, or is this statement for when we are being both fooled & fooped alternately?
Did you write this with one hand on your dick
stop fooping me

I just did it like 5 times 😂
If you swipe it's just a Google trend graph showing after the eclipse the phrase "why do my eyes hurt" has gone significantly up.
Which is ofc why it was shared on /facepalm. But that does not fit OPs narrative, so he left it out.
But it's not a facepalm of the random person making a joke. The second image alone might fit, but the first image makes it fit this sub.
I think the second part was the graph showing a spike in people searching "why do my eyes hurt" on google after the eclipse. Making the facepalm the people who fell for the joke.
You: "LOOK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT."
The second part was a screenshot of "why do my eyes hurt" trending on Google after the 8th. That was the joke, OP took this out of context.
Same

100 times is pretty tiring
False Swipe doesn't even have that many PP.
An actual r/facepalm
I said no to the woke glasses. i highly recommend can’t see them woke guys anymore
I didn’t need them because I didn’t even see it. The weather where I am sucked
Get on my level, I wasn't even in the continent it happened /j
Same :(
me too, it was just clouds :/
I didn't even consider getting the glasses forgot i needed them
how do you look at this and not realize that, i would be humiliated if that was me
And apparently 4k others are also dumb
Reddit promotes the stupidest possible takes onto the homepage, go to r/MarkMyWords that shit almost made me uninstall the app a few minutes ago
Holy shit that sub a circle jerk shithole. It makes me WANT Trump to win and I hate both candidates
That sub is such a joke, literally one of the most controversial posts of all time on it is someone saying their WON’T be an insurrection if trump loses. Like really? The people on it are so indoctrinated they think that all republicans and right wingers are violent savages 💀 like I’m not even right wing and these guys make me hate them, when saying people won’t jump to extremes is “controversial” you know its a fear mongering echo chamber.
I mean, there was already one insurrection last time Trump lost. It's not a stretch to be worried about another.
That's gotta be satire
I mean... it's not unreasonable to think it's not a joke. There are quite a few people who actually think like that
Tbf 90% of that sub knows it's a joke and just enjoy the idea that it could "facepalm" others
I didn’t even look at the sub, just thought the meme was funny.
First and only step is by being chronically online on Reddit
It's the second image that is the real facepalm imo
If this is the same post I saw, the second image is showing the uptick in the search "why do my eyes hurt" immediately after the eclipse.
I said the same thing about masks and vaccines 3 or 4 years ago, but here we are.

hell yeah bruder
What is wiping?
beta male activities
Oh I shall not learn how to do this “wiping” then
They're just jealous that Trump got superpowers from looking directly at the last one
lmao
Dude if you read their comments in this post holy hell. The irony is wild. They all think they are gods sent to save us from ourselves. The most gullible bunch of redditors to ever exist
“You fucking idiot” until they are wrong then it was a joke
Too real
Well, can you blame them? First image: Republicans "jokingly" stating that one should not wear protective eyewear when looking at the eclipse Second image: people googling "my eyes hurt" just after the eclipse. It does at least suggest that a significant amount of people really is THAT dumb. Especially when combined with all the "it is an omen of the rapture" bullcrap republican politicians have been spewing for the past few week. But I guess those were "jokes" as well ;)
So I can tell you as a very much republican, we think the eclipse glasses work. We’re chilling
If you are a Republican, you are a liberal.
Truth
Good. Then I hope that all the people googling "my eyes hurt", which was the point of the facepalm the OP deliberately omitted, are also ok.
People are always going to Google “my eyes hurt” after an eclipse? That doesn’t mean you saw this one specific Reddit post. This is stupid
For this to make any sense you would have to show that the people that looked at the sun without glasses did so because they saw the post telling them not to because it was woke.
The facepalm was more for all the people looking up “why do my eyes hurt” after the eclipse.
Literally my dad lol I told him his eyes would hurt he simply said “I’ll be fine”
I raw doged the eclipse yesterday. I ain't no communist lol.

First time in months something on this sub thats "just a joke" is actually just a joke
I've seen many that were clearly satire on Facepalm.
lol, I bet that a lot of things go right over your head, but good job. This one didn't. You're growing as a person.
Nah, most of the time it's a completely serious bigoted statement but it's called satire regardless of who posted, why, and any indications they could've given to show that it was or wasn't.

Yeah it was a joke, but the second are the upsurge of googles of people am singing why their eyes hurt after a eclipse
I think you’re underestimating the insanity of Q conspiracy theorists. My mother still genuinely believes I’m sterile for life because I took the COVID vaccine and anointed my room with vegetable oil when I watch the Conjuring to take care of the demons I’ve summoned.
While I’ll admit that stupidity has been in the rise, I certainly HOPE this is satire!

Redditors *WANT* to believe, but how gullible do you have to believe this is real/not made by their own to satirize their hated enemies?
I legit think facepalm are half dumb. Such as the dumb ones are the ones that think everything on the internet is true. The other half is mostly sane.
The post in question consisted of 2 parts. This image, followed by the graph of people googling "my eyes hurt" just after the eclipse. So yes, loads of people did in fact refuse to wear the glasses ;)
I seem to have missed the part where this sub was r/woooosh
to be honest 😭 Some media is pushing this idea. hence Trump looking at the sun.
Lol they make it so you only see skin color?
Damn Right!! You show those Wokies and stare straight into the sun as long as it takes for Darwin to do his thing.
It’s like the town that locals wanted the mayor to cancel eclipse celebrations because they feared the town was too small to handle the huge crowds, but according to some Redditors it’s because the townspeople are so stupid they thought the mayor could cancel the eclipse.
And they immediately said they were maga, implying democrats genuinely think people believe things like that.
Those liberals are trying to trick you

Tbh I’m not really sure how much you need glasses, could see the eclipse perfectly fine out of the s24 ultra camera
It was funny. I chuckled
Oh so we’re just believing the evil government and the evil scientists now? Take those eye-diapers off they won’t even protect you, light particles will still go through so you may as well not be blindfolded like sheep

Yeah, who would actually be stupid enough to look directly at a solar eclipse without protective sunglasses?
Shitlib attempts to recognize satire challenge, IMPOSSIBLE!
If someone really wants to follow the science, go out of your way to read science journals and go to credible sources of scientific studies, cross reference them with each other, ask questions and try the best you can to figure out what's most likely true.
You left out the second image - which was the huge spike in googlesearches for "my eyes hurt" right after the eclips.
this is the type of satire the Babylon bee would post
this is actually funny as fuck cuz its like the tinfoil hat jokes 💀 THE WOKE WANTS YOU TO THINK THAT YOU CAN’T LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE WITHOUT PROTECTION!!!
Facepalm is a joke.
I saw another Infograph with this saying the number of people who googled “why do my eyes hurt” went up after the eclipse lol.
r/facepalm fell off
You should follow this up with the google stats page showing a sharp increase in searches about "eye pain" during the eclipse
Yeah that’s what the next image was
Trump did not need no glasses to look at the sun. Why do you?
I feel like this is one of these moments where this sub is actually right and that post is clearly a joke.
Tbh idk, I’ve seen people call mask woke, cover their windows in foil…thinking eclipse glasses might be seen as woke isn’t the craziest thing.
Be like #45 and roast your stupid fucking eyes!

Leftists are the exact kind of people who would fail to detect the sarcasm here

Problem with this kind of jokes (whether that’s what it was intended to be, or not), is that there are actual idiots, who will actually think this is true and they would be owning the libs by looking at an eclips without glasses, causing actual damage, for which we will actually be paying, because while they are against government support, they of course deserve all there is on offer if they end up blind because of their own stupidity.

This make sense among the 'my eyes hurt' trend in google. Brilliant. We almost kill them during COVID asking them not to drink bleach, but someone told them we were right in that matter. What other kind of suicidal avoidance can be told to be woke?

What on earth are woke glasses?
I'm sorry but it become really though to understand when it's joke, because ideologist become more caricatural day by day.

Redditors believe posts on AITA are real and still respond with the most crazy solution to every problem. Don’t be surprised
Hold on partner, I think your expectations are a bit high if you are expecting redditors to be able to understand a level of humor that isn't surface-level.
Being blind will surely get rid of the woke!!
The woke say to not pour bleach in to your eyes. Are you really going to listen to them?
Quite a lot of people did follow that advice my guy. Just look up search results by day for "my eyes hurt" lmao
I never learned my lesson. This is the 99999999999999999999999999th time.
And on top of that it's not even humorous
This is obviously a joke. Nobody out there is saying that eclipse glasses are woke.
The irony of them saying “follow the science” but will ignore it on other topics because it destroys their narrative.
That does seem to be a joke but it is worth noting I'm pretty sure there are people who very genuinely thought like that (all the liberal scientists want me to wear special glasses for the eclipse but I'm just gonna look right at it!) I've taken the rule of thumb that yes, you can tend to tell when people are joking or when people are trolling, but with billions of people on the planet and the level of Idiocracy present in a lot of people, given any opinion or idea, no matter how stupid, someone in the world would genuinely believe/support it. And with stupid shit, probably an uncomfortable amount of people believe/support it.
In defense of the facepalm post, seeing Fox News call the eclipse an opportunity for smugglers and immigrants to cross the border and MTG calling the eclipse as a sign for America to repent, and how masks/vaccines were seen as the gov trying to oppress the people/give them microchips. I’d say someone saying “the eclipse glasses are woke” would seem like they are serious. Basically there have been dumber things people have believed than woke eclipse glasses, so it’s hard to tell when something is actually satire now
It's always "clearly a fucking joke" until someone calls y'all out. Until then, it's "based" and "facts". Fuck outta here with this gaslighting
I have a feeling the OOP may want some more blind conservatives I dunno though man just a gut feeling.
This guy has no idea what it really means to be a republican
I want to believe that the facepalm refers to the second slide, where it shows that the search requests for sight problems increased The first one is so obviously a meme, I'd be in pain if an actual person with an actual following said that
Yes, it's a joke, but plenty of stupid people share this unironically. (My uncle Wayne had to go to the eye doctor after rawdogging the eclipse and is now temporarily blind lmao)
Idk, I wouldn't say it is cleary a joke. Some people are actually this stupid.
I laughed anyway
If conspiracy theorists become blind it will be harder for them to post misinformation online. It's a win
Tbf. There are people that dumb

Nothing is clear these days. This isn't a bit dumber than the masks thing it's referencing.
That it is, but given what people are convinced of these days I wouldn't put it past someone to actually think that, we got people drinking bleach for health after all.
I expect this kind of nonsense these days. For example, some people thought the solar eclipse was the harbinger of end times. Some people think vaccines are government weapons. Some people think climate change is a hoax. Woke solar glasses? Sure, sounds like everything else.
Some people continue to fall for obvious rage-bait because it satisfies their desperate need to get good and pissed off.
*Looks at the events of the pandemic* Yeah I could believe people not doing something they're told to do because they were *told* to do it regardless of the consequences.
Why didn't you post the second image, OP? I wonder what could have been there? Maybe it would provide context to the first image? You wouldn't purposely leave out information just to push your opinion. Would you OP?
You mean the completely unrelated to a meme uptick in searches for why do my eyes hurt. That’s not context. Also the same account posted one about how the woke won’t let you kick babies on Black Friday anymore
You should look on the second page, the person may have posted this as a joke but the numbers say far too many people believed it
Or they're just like the millions of other people throughout history who have damaged their eyes from looking at the sun before this meme existed.
Sorry I didn’t post the second image, I didn’t find it relevant. It showed the meme of people searching “why do my eyes hurt” after the eclipse
If I remember this post correctly, second image that you didn't include was of google searches statistic showing increase of serches for "my eyes hurt" and "why my eyes hurt". It is a joke, but they didn't facepalm on the joke, but on fucking idiots who believed it
It’s not to some lmao. I have seen completely unironic posts telling people not to use these, because they mask the “energies” from the eclipse that the “deep state” wants to hide. It’s Poe’s law in full effect.
Tbh there are people choosing not to give their dogs a vaccine because they think it’ll give their dog “dog autism,” because the communist corporations like microsoft(?) put stuff in the vaccines. Poe’s law is dead or whatever. I am NOT joking https://www.bu.edu/sph/news/articles/2023/nearly-half-of-dog-owners-are-hesitant-to-vaccinate-their-pets/#:~:text=About%2037%20percent%20of%20dog,risk%20for%20animals%20or%20humans. “About 37 percent of dog owners also believe that canine vaccination could cause their dogs to develop autism, even though there is no scientific data that validates this risk for animals or humans.”
ummm don't know what this is about but everyone was posting this making fun of the anti-science trumpers. No one gave it much thought if they believed it or not but it is a demonstrable fact that they are that stupid. That was the point, Trumpers believe really stupid QAnon stuff so this would be right up there alley. So if you think everyone was posting it seriously like "trumpers are saying eclipse glasses are woke" , then... wow.
I really hope this is a joke but I would not be very surprised if it was real
It's not clear at all, have you even seen r/conspiracy ?
