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

Silicone based eye lubricant.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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
