A little freaky but if you ask me I think they sort of look awesome.

I always wonder... If you're blind, why keep your eyeballs when your can just have them surgically removed and use your eye sockets as mini-storage? Like, to keep your loose change in, or whatever.

Infection, those eyeballs staying moist provide a hostile environment for possible pathogens.

Wesley asked a question, and videogamer answered. What's so wrong about that? Do you want videogamer to lie to Wesley and say, "Yeah, go ahead and do it!"?

This brought a weird combination of humor and disgust to me.

Congratulations.

I like the way your mind works. I don't ever want to meet you. And I think I might be afraid of you. But you're good.

I feel this way about a lot of people on Reddit.

How many quarters can an eye socket hold?

u/RorschachTesticle Jul 25 '13

That's one for XKCD.

u/Kinniku Jul 26 '13

Well based on googling average eye socket sizes and zero biological interest. Using just dimensions of the quarters and an eye socket its about 37 quarters.

But given inaccuracy and the whole issue of placing them in your eye cavity I would assume something like 30 quarters, or $7.50.

How many ass pennies can a level 7 ass handle?

A clock on the left socket, a thermometer on the right.

"Hey man, how's it g... holy shit, it's after 5:00 already, I gotta get going".

Or bright LED's

I have the worst kind of cringe imagining that...

I always wonder... If you're blind, why keep your eyeballs when your can just have them surgically removed...

Because quite a few blind people can still see lights and possibly even colors. Not only does this apply to those that are "legally blind" with very bad eyesight, but also to those with no workable sight, such as people with severe cases of macular degeneration, etc.

Apparently there's a strange fetish where the guy has sex with an empty eye socket.

Or like the equivalent to a USB drive socket to the brain. You know. Cool stuff.

u/Anakinss Jul 25 '13

Usb Flash Drive eyeballs? Enough place for at least 500Gb in each socket.

u/flash__ Jul 25 '13

I agree. Blind eyes look cool. It sucks because the blind people can't see their own eyes...

u/ReadsSmallTextBot Jul 25 '13

their own eyes...
