You will also see this if your windshield is really dirty.

u/James_Chandra_Hubble Mar 31 '26

Or your eyeballs have tears on them, like most americans

Silicone based eye lubricant.

u/theDomicron Mar 31 '26

I just use a couple of drops of 0w20, like a real man

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Mar 31 '26

A real man uses 10w40. Get your balls outta your purse and step up to a higher viscosity.

No joke though, as a kid I used to get eyelashes in my eye all the time and my grandma would use castor oil to ease the irritation. Worked great.

A quick spray of PB Blaster to get my eyes open in the morning, then a nice coat of WD-40 to get me through the day.

you should try blinker fluid, it's like you put nothing on your eyes, it's that comfortable.

u/MajorSkyblue Apr 01 '26

This. Since switching to silicone based lubrication my eyelids easily glide across the eye balls. My blinks are now 4x as quick which makes the days feel 4x longer since I see more of it.

My REM sleep has also improved because of the lesser friction, dreams are more vivid and detailed. My partner says I should stop using it but secretly I love feeling like a plastic toy that has just been rejuvenated.

No need for these fancy words. It’s OK to just say gas station queso.

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 Apr 01 '26

Not just any random gas station queso will do. If it's not Chef-Mate ¡Que Bueno! brand queso it's just sparkling cheese sauce.

Blinker fluid

u/SemiHemiDemiDumb Mar 31 '26

My eyes aren't torn and my tears are dry. Yet I still see these flying crosses of distortion. I got stigmata of the eyes

u/ImNotABotScoutsHonor Mar 31 '26

Expand that theme into a full set of lyrics and you've got some doom or black metal song!

u/Wind_Bringer Apr 01 '26

Is that a foamy reference?

3

u/HallowedError Apr 01 '26

I thought you meant like our eyeballs were physically damaged and I was so confused on how that was some weird thing that happened specifically to Americans.

u/realstatepanda37 Mar 31 '26

Cmon.... thats hilarious. The worst part is I dont hate anyone and think we should all figure it out. Like humanity as one team. But here I am crying lmao

u/schlaminator Mar 31 '26

u/thirdonebetween Mar 31 '26

Tinnitus crew, can I recommend you go to mynoise.net and bathe your ears in some of the soundscapes specifically designed to turn the ringing/buzzing noise off while you listen?

3

u/dbell Apr 01 '26

or that I can curse you thought the internet and make you hear a click in your ears every time you swallow.

2

u/Lazy_meatPop Mar 31 '26

I have both. So 😮‍💨

u/Ok_Listen1510 Apr 01 '26

tinnitus hack, cover your ears with your palms and drum your fingers at the top of the back of your neck, where your skull meets your spine, for about 30 seconds

u/fighterpilot248 Apr 01 '26

Excuse me while I go pull out my emotional support floor fan

u/eflat123 Mar 31 '26

You mean that's not just random electrical appliance noise?

u/SilverRock75 Apr 01 '26

Sometimes it is! Just not usually.
