The last solar eclipse I looked at happened on a work day. At lunch I was in the parking lot with a welding helmet. People were asking what I was doing. When I told them, they wanted a turn. Every one if them, grown adults, took the helmet, looked through the glass and said, I can’t see it. Not one of them pointed the helmet towards the sun.
Wow, maybe you’ve worked in every place I’ve ever worked. ;^)
