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.
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.
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

Surely UV would also be blocked by the moon, though

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
