fuck you :)
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.

Cheers from me also, always wondered what this was.
Awesome, thanks, exactly that!
Visual snow. I have it too. Really sucks when I want to look at the stars.
Do you get diagnosed for that? I am pretty sure I have that. I will talk about it to my optometrist the next visit. I thought that was my vision degrading as I aged, but the intensity of it varies with fatigue, stress and migraines.
I had cataracts done, have tons of floaters. Also makes it almost impossible to follow a golf ball in flight. I used to play, but got fed up not having a clue where I had hit the damned ball.
I forgot about them.
Oh wow I used to see those all the time when I was younger but it’s been years lol!
Yet one more victim of climate change
HOW DID YOU TAKE THAT PHOTO
Eyeballcam
Oh squiggly line, I see you there in the periphery of my vision
Airborne ebola?
XP wallpaper?
If nobody got me, I know the floaters and searing, incapacitating pain on the sides of my head got me

Bro what I tought i was the only one I even went to a lot of doctors and took tons of supplements Tf is it
My eye doctor calls them “floaters”. They’re pretty common from how the Dr talks about them. Dr says come in if there’s suddenly a spike in them. I gather that’s a sign something bad is happening with the eye.
I got hit in the eye (long story short, my cousin learned to throw cards like Gambit and nailed me straight in the eye).
I was seeing flashes so went to an eye doctor, and they warned me of retinal detachment. Aside from the flashes, a sudden increase in floaters is another warning sign.
So he figured out how fo throw the cards, but has pisspoor aim. Yeah I have a cousin who was like that.
I got a sudden spike in floaters… Fun fact: Retinal repair is a lot like spot welding… If you’re spot welding the back of your eye with a laser!
Yeah afaik it’s just normal dead cells but if there’s loads it’s a sign that things are falling apart.
Visual snow syndrome. Yeah, the fussy tv static you also see? Ain’t normal and also part of it. You likely have constant ringing in your ears? Tinnitus is almost always linked with VSS.
I have a plethora of oddities but no static vision (sometimes a buzz in the ear but like a strong buzz, rarely btw). No tinnitus or at least I think so, maybe i am just used
Those tiny tubes are normal to be in your eye but you usually don’t notice them (they are body cells or proteins). Only when you are looking at something bright (eg. a completely white wall) do you see them. If you regularly see them and they dont go away if the room is less well lit then you should get it checked out though.
That’s a different thing. Floaters are objects in your vitreous humor.
That’s my kind of humor!
Blood vessels in your eye
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.
Maybe your vision got worse enough to where you can’t see them well enough anymore
Unlikely, perfect 20/20 vision last check-up (which I did due to said migraines to rule out deteriorating vision as a cause).
i only ever see these when i look up at the sky
I work at a specialized manufacturer, and we have a light table for inspecting parts. If you look at the table surface you’ll find floaters you didn’t even know about. It’s freaky how many there are.
Sunuva

Does it come with a shutter sound?
just double tap the vagus nerve and left temple at the same time
Close both eyes for 3 seconds for screenshot
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.
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.
This Be The Verse by Philip Larkin
I wish I’d known this before I heard it in Ted Lasso, but damn that episode was good regardless.
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.
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.
I pronounced “nuclear” wrong.
