When I took welding shop class in high school, our shop teacher literally called it "sand eye" when he explained why wearing a welding mask was not optional in his shop or in general while welding. Sure enough, there was that one kid who thought he could get by with his squints while teach wasn't looking... He was out for days with sand eye and had quite the cautionary tale to share when he returned. Everyone got downright religious about the welding masks after that.
It would be nice if we as a species could get from one generation to the next without needing to see an example of every failure first hand.
The smart ones can
I wish. But the wilful ignorance and deliberate belligerence of their parents would prevent you from showing such useful gore to their crotch smear.
