ICYMI,[EP05] Lovely Ladies Dormitory space scientists really don't want us staring up at the sun for today's solar eclipse without wearing the right eye protection.

Sure, you can make your own viewing devices at home, but that doesn't mean you can just wear any old thing and call it a day. But that hasn't stopped some people on the internet from showing off their creatively non-functioning solar eclipse glasses. They may not think the glasses will work, but they sure think they're funny.

Now that the big day is here, let's take a moment to laugh at these not-astronomer-approved glasses and hope people never actually wear them to stare at the sun.

Of course, something as big as a total solar eclipse couldn't happen without the internet making a meme out of it.
