I once ordered a box of different sizes. Comes handy, occasionally.
I got gigantic ones and then stuck them on the toilet cistern. To quote a friend “i hate how it keeps making eye contact when i piss in it”
Ah.
But then you realize what you ordered isn’t self-stick and you are disappoint.
Then you realize that you can now use those double barrel self mix tubes of epoxy so the eyes will never come off.
Well I’m off to the louvre
Goddamn. Easy, Satan.
What, pray tell, is satanic about permanent googly eyes?
You get enough of them, and it even becomes a biblically accurate angel, not satanic in the slightest.
Biblically accurate Moaning Lisa is coming soon! Also it’s to protest oil or whatever.
Sneak in a little piezo speaker for some lofi porno noises?
Too good for superglue?
Depends on what I’m sticking the googly eyes to.
Hmm, goes off to check an unopened box of these I got a while back…
Well, how’s it go - Adhesive or disappointing ?
Hah, not found them yet! Tided up before Xmas & no idea where it was put. Now I’m thinking I should order more to be on the safe side & make sure they are sticky this time!
Same :(
When I had a housewarming party, I put a bunch of googly eyes in a bowl and instructed everyone to become googly eye terrorists in my new house.
It was really fun, and a great surprise to find all my eggs googly-eyed with pieces of paper with pleas for help written on them.
Still finding them to this day.
Finally, something I can get on board with!
Vandal-eyes!
Eyes up here --> 👀
👀 <-- and there
Now I’m convinced there should be a “My eyes are down here” shirt with googly eyes at titty level. Probably already exists but I’m too lazy to look it up.
Another one that might already exist: “My tits are down here.” With a picture of tits on the T-shirt.
I’ve seen a hat with my tits are down here on it before, it was relieving to have written consent to look.
Sometimes self care means bulk ordering googly eyes with the intent of teaching the next generation the joy of vandalism
It’s too bad they don’t sell them as stickers . Like on a sheet.
They do, but I’ve found those difficult to carry and you lose then when the sheet buckles.
They should put them on a strip and then have special applicators like pez dispensers. Eye gogglers, if you will. Patent pending patent pending patent pending.
You just reminded me of this candy from my childhood. Anyone else remember these?
Like one of these but googly eyes instead of tape.
Ah yes, biblically accurate shipping.
Ok Icm not american can someone give a context? All I know is that a woman(mother of three) got shot by ice.
You seem a little lost, my friend
Yay! Spreading plastic arbitrarily around the environment, what fun!
Just saw this right after this post:

Someone’s made an edit
That’s so funny lol
Someone found googly eyes all over their place
👀👀👀👀👀
Yes, yes it is. With all the other shit going on you think plastics is the thing that’s gonna kill us? World war 3 is literally already starting and a pedophile rapist with fucking Alzheimer’s and a narcissism complex has the fucking nuclear football - but don’t worry, the other world war 3 players are fucking worse.
Sit back and have a laugh my friend 50/50 chance the world will be a fucking fireball in the next 2 years
Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.
Microplastics and environmental threats are just as big of a deal as ww3.
I’m a ship. In front of me is a giant rock, past that there is another ship, finally the beach. I can run into each of them. The rock is more important because I’m gonna hit that first. Can’t make it any more clear
So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.
The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
This shit is why nothing EVER gets solved, spreading out resources to all the problems instead of solving the most important one first. Just like those in power like it.
You won’t solve microplastics while the people in power won’t do anything about it. And they are too busy with dividing up the globe and planning mass executions to be bothered with something that isn’t going to affect them at all.
But whatever man. You keep putting your effort into whatever floats your boat. I’m sure you’ll feel great about it when you are getting rounded up. Heaven forbid In this cosmic hellhole a few people found a tiny bit of joy with some googly eyes
When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship
A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.
Is it though? Give me your plan - go on, what’s your plan to fix ALL THE THINGS, ALL AT ONCE. Cause never once in the history of man kind has anyone ever pulled everyone together to do it. I and the Nobel prize committee await your brilliant proposal.
Oh and do it with the current world leaders in power, seriously, tell me how this works with Billionaire backed right wing facists across the globe having 99.99% of the power.
In criminology, the broken windows theory states that visible signs of crime, antisocial behavior and civil disorder create an urban environment that encourages further crime and disorder, including serious crimes.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory
You’ve pretty much exemplified this but with doomerism instead of crime. Just because things are turning to shit doesn’t mean we should encourage other problems that we know need tackled. There’s enough plastic around us, everywhere, all of the time, without encouraging people to go out and buy more to spread around.
Your clothes are likely plastic, your food is in plastic, your phone is plastic, your water bottle is likely plastic, almost every item of the modern world has plastic somewhere. Even if it doesn’t look like plastic, it could be plastic. It’s fucking disgusting.
This isn’t a shitpost, it’s an advert in disguise.
I feel really bad about my 6 3d printers now.
No I don’t. Look micro-plastics are bad, yea we all get that. But fucking read the room. We have way worse shit to worry about, this isn’t broken windows, this is watching billionaires fund far right politicians in every single “free” country so the can become the next queens and kings. This is watching innocent people get executed live on TV, it’s not isolated broken windows, the fucking neighborhood is burning and your the HOA president bitching about the lawn not being mowed.
