Here's a neat thing: It is entirely safe to directly view a total eclipse, the part where you only see the corona and not the actual sun.
Oh, if only there were a worldwide network of information resources that could explain to them what the risks are and how the glasses can be both prudent and enhance your experience! If only!
The biggest thing with the glasses is that if you wear them, you get to stare at the freakin' sun! That's awesome. Beyond that, you just have to make sure you put them on before totality is done, or look away before it's done to let your eyes adjust naturally. I sense that these dummies are exactly the ones who will stare at the corona until they see a split second sunrise that fries n-percent of their photoreceptors. It's fine though, I'm sure at least one of them will end up with a Jesus-shaped retinopathy spot.
Then they can put their eyeball on ebay.
