You totally can, in the same way that you can drink bleach or mix pills and alcohol, you’re allowed to, it’s just a stupid thing to do.
In addition: at some unknown, future time of its choosing, it will expand and consume the earth.
Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes.
If there was an atmosphere to carry the sound, the sun would be screaming at us at just over 100db.
For reference, sounds at 85db can start causing hearing damage after only 8hrs of exposure.
The sun is shy please respect that.
Look! Corn!
You’re asking the platform full of autistic people why they aren’t upset by not having to maintain eye contact with something? I think that’s actually one of the many positive attributes of the sun.
As part of the normie brained section of Lemmy, I, too, do not wish to make eye contact with the sun.
It’s not that we’re not allowed to look at it, it’s that we have oodles of evidence on how severely damaged our vision becomes when we do look directly at it without sufficient protection, and anyone with two functional neurons to rub together isn’t going to be doing any looking unless they are wearing the appropriate vision protection.
Wait. “Eye contact.” Doesn’t that imply that the sun has eyes?
ARE YOU FUCKING TELLING ME THE SUN HAS HAD EYES THIS WHOLE TIME?
Teletubbies were on to something
Why do you think it’s always depicted wearing sunglasses? It has eyes, and its vision has been damaged from UVC exposure, hence the need for corrective lenses. Sunglasses are just glasses for the sun.
Of course it does most people are just too afraid to look.
well, did you check it doesn’t?
Please don’t use a telescope to check, otherwise you will have no eyes.
*eye
Depends on the telescope really
Sure, there are some that are equipped with filters to prevent burning your eyes.
There’s a guy that I used to follow that has some absolutely amazing videos of the sun.

You can look at the sun. It’s not illegal.
It’s free and the cops can’t stop you, like rotating cows in your mind.
Who says you can’t make eye contact with sun… You can \s
Every once in a while it hides behind the other orb in the sky (they’re the same size, which is weird), and you can stare at it then. E-clips, I think they are called.
We’re running noclip most of the time
I heard that i-clips are shiny with old tech and 2x the price, so I want.
Fuck those “Jesus clips”. Every time you have to remove an e-clip it fucks off to the void.
you still shouldn’t stare at it. it’s quite rude to do at an embarrassing moment like that :)
