I really hope conspiracy theorists start looking at the forbidden sky orb, maybe through telescopes for more detail.
I met one who did. He called it 'sungazing' and was certain that the practice charged him with positive healing energy. He figured it was safe because he did it near sunrise and sunset. He was trying to look a little longer each time and build his endurance and get more sun energy. I haven't seen him in a few years so I can't update on outcomes.
YouTube is one hell of a drug. I hope he has moved onto less harmful beliefs.
I haven't seen him in a few years
Don't worry, he hasn't either.
Flat earthists already on it
"On" here meaning topologically coexisting on a co-located 2d plane of course.
I used to immerse myself in the depths of the burning eye in the sky all the time as a kid. Stared for minutes on end. May have some permanent eye damage, but I also used to press fingers into my eyeballs at night to see the blobiverse, and gazed into the perfect red of my laser pointers. I was a dumb kid. Still am at 35. Though my hearing is perfect.
Same. My parents told me not to look straight into the sun, i saw it as a challenge.
Haha I also enjoyed staring into blobiverse. Oi also loved the smell of car exhaust
I do question that. In fact, I asked the orb what the deal was. The orb said [apply sun burn to face and arms] and that was the end of the discussion. I find him to be firm but fair and when I step out of line he says [apply sun burn to top of feet].
This is so true. I once decided to patriotically defy the government and stare at the sky orb, and then the government stole my sight to prevent me from seeing the truth. WAKE UP PEOPLE!
There's a stove top surface in the kitchen that you are not allowed to make direct contact with and you don't question that?
This is where H.P. Lovecraft got it wrong. The universe is even more horrifying and incomprehensible than he imagined, but it doesn't drive people crazy. They just say "oh cool", then ignore it.
Oh no, I question that all the time. The government should not be stopping me from staring at the sky orb! First amendment and second amendment rules!
Pretty sure the first amendment just prevents the government from looking at the sky orb.
STOP VIOLATING MY RIGHTS! TRUMP 2023!
You are not allowed to look at it if you aren't worthy. Unlike you all, me the chosen champion of Ra, is allowed to gaze upon its magnificent form without any repercussions. And it has enlightened me, it has elevated my consiousness and allowed me to temporarily experince a higher plane of existance, during what you lesser folk call "Sun stroke induced hallucinations".
You best not be talking shit about my boy Sol.
Wake up sheeple!

This type of stuff always reminds me of "Welcome to Nightvale".
As children, we all questioned it and we're curious about it, then we learned what it was and the reasons it was dangerous to look at it, and went on with our lives.
Pretty sure you meant were, not we're, but this is the rare autocorrect success, as it makes sense both ways.
I literally had a nightmare about this, I posted it in the dreams community:
I was just recently thinking about some planet from Star Trek where there are certain limitations, like the day being too hot for humans but the night being ok. And then I recognized exactly this fact.
