Wouldn't suggest this OP, very sketchy and running a major risk for permanent eye damage. Literally you could fry your eyes from the inside, where it leaves a spot in your vision. Idk about you but that would be super annoying to live the rest of your life with a decent circular sized blurry/blind spot. Stay safe mane.

I'm not sure but any direct looking into the sun is not good for your eyes. Even for a few seconds, idk your body so I guess I don't have much control. Maybe just wait to look when suns covered?

It's actually worse than looking at the sun, wouldn't recommend it and def not worth the permanent eye damage you will get. The danger comes from lots of light being reflected off of the moon but is not "blinding" so people will stare at it longer and even focus in on it with let's more light in thinking it isn't bright. When you glipsme at the sun it's blinding but when you glispse at a solar eclipse it isn't as blinding and may seem safer to look at. Fuck idk.

My friend genuinely seems to think it's a scam to get people to buy the glasses. I said it's very very dangerous to look at it without them and he's like "oh no way dude it can't be that bad they just wanna sell a product." Or something like that, he's kinda arrogant.
Got the day off but I won't see much, gonna be kinda cloudy.

seriously don't do it. youre not going to see shit and it's just a stupid risk to take. make one of those pinhole things if you can't get some glasses

Temp drop was wild, so were the crescent shadows.
And with all the talk about looking at it without the eclipse glasses all I could think about was this:

Yeah didn't bother...not worth it...far far to bright to see it. Just looked like the sun basically. Coolest part was it went to a weird twilight outside.
People are making so much money off those glasses...but they are necessary sooooo....gotta love capitalism. I wonder how many people bought huge stocks of them to sell off for more money.

People were selling glasses on the Park City Yard Sale page for like $5 two weeks ago and $20 for the last week. This lady here bought like 200, had them overnighted and sold them all last night and this morning for $15 a piece and we're only at 91% here, people are hilarious.

We got 12 pairs into the shop this week and sold out within a few hours. We were only selling them for $3 a piece, but I had someone come in this morning that said they were talking to people today that were asking $130.

my manager told me to peel off for a second from the front desk and head up to the roof of the 10-floor hotel I work in. Tried to access the roof but the employees that were already up there forgot to pry the door open so I couldn't get on the roof 
Shit was weird though seeing it look like there was cloud cover but it be absolutely clear skies. Can't imagine how dope it was on top of Hidden peak/east and west twins/Baldy/etc.

Not in totality, but still took some shots of the eclipse. This is my amateur attempt at being a photographer.

I was in the totality at scottsbluff we got a sick spot right in the middle of the monument! Definitely lived up to the hype and I'm already trying to figure out how to get to Mexico for the next one!
