I mean, the glasses one just sounds like they tried to do the right thing but trusted a shitty manufacturer. No freaking clue what the "eyes of NASA" is, though.

Eyes of NASA was the name of their live stream of the eclipse
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!
Actually just looking around outside during the eclipse, not at the sun, just at the trees and ground and stuff, made my eyes feel weird. Because it looked like a bright sunny day, but it was quite dim.
The dimness made you feel like you could open your eyes wider than you ought to, the UV light kept giving 0 fucks about the eclipse and smacked yer eyeballs around.
Surely UV would also be blocked by the moon, though
Cave Johnson here. Some of the eggheads from astronomy are jabbering about how you shouldn't look in the direction of the sun while indoors, because apparently moon rocks don't block UV light, and our walls are made of the darn stuff. I say ignore them. Just wear some sunglasses and you'll be fine. And while we're at it, let's get those lab boys to slap a fresh coat of paint on the walls, and we'll call it a day.
Yes sir Mr Johnson
Yeah but not enough to open your eyes like that.
Our eyes respond to something different and they don’t relate 1:1
That's the brain trying to adjust to conflicting information. Since our internal pattern recognition circuits aren't built to handle eclipses - they're just too damn rare
My eyes hurt from the fuzzy text
Guys I tell you what I don't see what the fuss was I totally looked right at the eclipse and I am fine...
Because it was very cloudy and dark. And then the eclipse happened and it was still dark.
Me, but I think I’m just sleep deprived.
