Awwww man. I just now realized that my little eye buddies disappeared at some point. Wonder where they went. I hope it was on vacation.
Floaters are one thing, but what about the internal electric / static activity you can see, what is that called? I was always way more intrigued by that than some eyeball sludge.
Do you see a reflection of neural activity or something? Just like floaters they’re only visible when looking at larger plain things with 1 colour. They seem projected, and less obvious than the floaters but more common in your whole view.
HOW DID YOU TAKE THAT PHOTO
I thought I was just weird.
Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean you aren’t weird.
I know they are not parasites, but what are they? Strings of dead cells? Dead optical nerve? Any biologists here?
If it’s a persistent pattern, it’s likely to just be variation in the density of the vitreous humor (eye jelly).
XP wallpaper?
The first snowfall of this year made me realize the extent to which I have an entire fucking universe within me. Mostly in my eyeballs, apparently. So many white backdrops to highlight them. It was alarming.
Mine disappeared as I got older, like around 25 or so. Now if they or similar visual effects come back it means I need to rush for my migraine pills or I’m in for some serious ass whopping… Don’t know what I did to my old friends to deserve that kind of treatment.
Everyone on here talking about theirs going away over time and I’m wondering if I’m supposed to go in for regular scraping as I get older
They’re little bits of debris and fibrous points in the gel matrix of your eye. They don’t go away ever, but they float to a part of your eye you don’t pay as much attention to. They tend to “go away” in people who consistently sleep on the same side. If you’re a back sleeper, or move around a lot, they tend to stick near your macula (your main focal point).
When I run ocular scans on people I can see them drifting around. They’re not a problem unless they’re dense or dark, then they might be blood due to a retinal tear or diabetic retinopathy.
So, in theory, I should be able to get in one of these centrifuges that NASA has, and they’ll all get pushed to one side?
Among other things, yes
Them going away is probably an illusion, probably a result of sensory adaptation.
I forgot about them.
If nobody got me, I know the floaters and searing, incapacitating pain on the sides of my head got me

I got grounded for insisting I saw these when I was younger. I am now vindicated 😎
This seems like a very… Odd reason to get grounded.
With my parents it was either agree that they’re right or be punished.
My dad was like that. I remember a moment where my dad couldn’t understand the solution to the Monty Hall problem, so I tried to explain it to him and instantly got yelled at and sent to my room for contradicting him.
Let’s never repeat this bullshit narcissism to our kids if we choose to have em.
Are you coming onto me?
Ah, just kidding. In seriousness though, I’ve chosen not to have kids on account of being so mentally fucked up by my childhood that I don’t want to put a kid through having me as a parent.
Although luckily my dad did mellow out with age. He’d kinda also been equally fucked up by his own childhood and refused to seek help until I’d left, my mom left, and later my old sibling left, and I refused to speak with him anymore. Last year I got a massive, 4 page, single spaced apology from him for everything he’d done, so luckily things are looking up at least.
That’s good to hear at least that your dad somewhat came around. Mine left the family and sued us (lost but cost me tens of thousands in legal fees) and ran off with all the money. He now has a second family.
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another’s throats.Man hands on misery to man. It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don’t have any kids yourself.

Some parents are weird. I once got grounded because I left my room, forgot something, and went back in to get it. Wasn’t even going anywhere or doing anything important. Just randomly got yelled at and grounded.
Stop staring at the sun.
