" MY eye " was trending on Twitter , proving natural option exists .

North America experienced a total solar eclipse yesterday, and for those who watched, I sincerely hope you wore eclipse glasses. Otherwise,you risked solar rays burning through the lens of your eyes and causing real damage.

It’s honestly a serious concern — but whenever something serious and kind of scary happens, the internet does what it does best. Joke about it. Here are some of the best tweets about people staring directly into the eclipse:
