Anyone ever had an ocular migraine? Fucking trippy. I could see people making up crazy explanations.
Totally painless, merely circular, rotating, rainbow flashes as you look around. Scared the crap out of me until I looked online. Thought it might be a sort of LSD flashback. Had it it hit me a few times in a short time span, never again.
This is a great representation of what I saw, no blur in my case, or I didn't notice any.
Sittin' here on the toilet, it took me a second to shift the word "floaters" into proper context.
Aneurysms confused with god speaking to them.
Epileptic seizures confused with spiritual possessions
As a kid I thought they were parasitic worms eating my eyeballs from the inside.
Found RFK JR's account.
Those aliens have incredibly fast ships. It doesn't matter how fast you turn your gaze, they're one step ahead.
No, Aliens successfully genetically bioengineered our eyes to have "eye floaters" that look exactly like their interdimensional starships flying overhead so they can fly them around on Earth without anyone noticing. It is all part of their evil genius plan!
Headlights near hills are also a common source of ufo sightings
So are ufo's
That’s what a headlight near a hill would say.
Hats are more commonly the subject of UFO photos than UFOs.
If someone throws a hat in the air, you take a picture of it before it lands, and you don't know what it is you've seen and photographed, technically you have taken a photo of a UFO.
Didn’t it happen that people in LA started calling the cops one time during the pandemic because they saw the Milky Way for the first time in their lives?
There must be people that mistake ghosts for eye floaters too, so it probably balances it out.
Certainly me as a kid
Genuine question; is there anything we can do against eye floaters or is it necessary to go to opticians/ doc?
There is no treatment because they are considered a natural and harmless consequence of aging. Only in severe cases is surgery necessary.
Aging?! I saw them more as a child than as a middle-aged man. Are we talking about the wormy things?
I'm thinking about my eye floaters roughly 200% of the time and I still mistake them for bugs flying past my face at least once a week.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
